The Champ-de-Mars, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, has been criticized for its scams and attacks. The tourist area is the subject of a “specially dedicated security plan”, according to the authorities.
It is already bearing fruit, with a drop in delinquency last summer. The security plan put in place “will only increase in strength until the Olympic Games,” Élise Lavielle promised. The socialist town hall of Paris has discussed the subject for 4 years.
