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.

What protection services do we offer in France?
A bodyguard is a trusted and familiar face in a foreign country. He or she is not only there to protect you at all times, but this discreet agent can also assist in making reservations, arranging secure transportation, providing advice, and safeguarding your hotel. Both covert (not publicly visible) and overt protection are possible.
- Personal protection may be required in a covert (low-profile) or public manner. Consider our staff to be your protector and assistant. When your schedule or plans change, we instantly assess any risks and act accordingly.
- For traveling locally or internationally, your travel bodyguard can accompany you. A security driver and/or armored vehicles will bring you to your destination safely.
- If your risk lies with intrusion in your residence, or holiday accommodation, our staff will devise a plan and install required measures to safeguard your buildings.
- For advice about security staff and measures for your home or business offices and sites, we can assess the risks for your specific situation.
