Is It Safe to Travel to France? When to Hire Bodyguard Services in France?
Due to the demonstrations and riots in the past year, clients ask us if it is safe to travel to France. Also, the terrorist attacks are still fresh in their memories. So when do you hire bodyguard services in France?
Only recently, at the threshold of the trial concerning the attack on the weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo, where 17 people were killed (2015), the French authorities confirmed that the threat of a terrorist attack is still ‘extremely high’ in France. The French Ministry of Justice confirms to have thwarted at least six attacks in the last couple of months.
