Beggars / Aggressive Vendors: Peddlers selling friendship bands

  • I met these peddlers at Sacré-Coeur Basilica, Montmartre. These people will only target travelers. They approach you, looking very friendly and will try ways to stop you for a conversation. They tie a string to your index finger and start making a friendship band, while chatting with you all the time. When it's done, they will ask you to make a wish and after that, they ask you to pay an amount for it.

    Advice: Ignore them when they approach, even if they suddenly turn aggressive.

     Excellent pictures of Paris under the snow ! It is always interesting to know how visitors see Paris. Paris dog owners can be fined if the don't lead their dog to the gutter but apparently it is not enough!
