Foreign office warns brits to be wary in france

The Foreign Office has warned Britons in France to be wary due to heightened risk of terrorism.

Following the terrorist attacks on the Charlie Hebdo offices and incidents in and around Paris you should be "especially vigilant", the FCO advised travellers this week, recommending that visitors follow the security advice issued by French authorities.

"There is a high threat from terrorism. Due to ongoing threats to France by Islamist groups, and recent French military intervention against ISIL, the French government has warned the public to be especially vigilant and has reinforced its security measures," adds the FCO.

Around 17 million British nationals visit France every year. Most visits are trouble-free.
