I always felt safe in Paris, but I knew my belongings weren't!
I love that city. Spent several months in the Rue du Bac neighborhood. While I saw all the "big" cathedrals and churches in the city, my favorite was the small and exquisite Sainte-Chapelle on Isle de la Cite, v. close to Notre Dame. The most gorgeous stained glass I have seen anywhere in the world. But go on a sunny day, so you get to bask in that glorious color.
