Dear French pickpockets . I urge you to target Americans and Italian tourists, they really do deserve it.
I.e some American tourists overheard today "does anybody speak English here?, we are looking for saint Michael with the big organ....." (mont st Michel).
And the Italian tourists that push children out of the way to jump a queue onto a bus,.... Dear pickpockets, please do us a favour and annoy them, not Aussie tourists, we really are a nice bunch.
It's just an observation, we haven't had a problem but have noticed quite a few times the eastern European youths who try to get you to fill out a form so your hands and eyes are distracted.
We had a touristy day today on le open Top tour and the ferries on the siene.
