A system known as "Vigipirate" is being implemented in France. Similar to the U.S. Homeland Security Advisory System, Vigipirate provides an enforced security when there is a security threat. Visibility of armed authorities is increased at high- profile locations like shopping centers, universities and airports. Travelers to France should take the necessary precautions for their personal security.

France Emergency Telephone Numbers:
* 112 - General Emergency number
* 15 - Ambulance
* 17 - Police
* 18 - Fire Department
