I'll just say that there are literally hundreds of thousands of happy tourists out and about enjoying Paris.

They are here for the soccer - happy and behaving themselves pretty well. The hooligans are in Marseille.
They are here for the Summer sales - and judging by the number of shopping bags, doing very well on bargains.
They are here for sightseeing - and facing lines that are a little shorter than usual.

Nobody seems to be bothered much by the strikes, the armed soldiers patrolling literally all of Paris, or the rain.
If you are watching too much television, and feel the need to stay home, you probably should.
Or maybe you should just turn off the TV and go on the vacation you had planned.

I am glad that those in Paris are delighted with the disruption, but my husband needs to leave Marseille to get back to work in the states and my sister-in-law is presently in Dublin waiting to join me in Provence! We are finding the humor in this, but it will be interesting if my SIL gets here and my husband can't leave because we'll all have to share the one bed in the house we are renting. Have fun shopping everyone!

Thanks, Chexbres, for your input. I am here having a great time. I posted as a courtesy to those who have not signed up for the State Department's notifications.

Due to the warnings as stated above and from the media, businesses and shopkeepers in Paris (and in other parts of France) have observed that for this summer, tourism is way down. As they say, people are not coming to France like before. Yes, there are still visible throngs of visitors, but it is not the same. Would-be tourists are likely paranoid, and have probably gone elsewhere. This is still the case despite the Euro Cup bringing in many tourists (but not enough) to France. Local merchants are not receiving the much needed revenue, and in some places have reduced staff. Also, many of the residents have decided to not turn out for their own local entertainment events, or the communites have postponed or canceled them altogether. Despite all of this, plenty of other people have decided to continue on with their lives, with some fun thrown in.

Tourism way down--oh please. The shop keepers complain every year. It's a national sport. we hear it every year, but in September it turns out not to have been so bad in retrospect. There are more than enough tourists.

Just got back from 6 days in Paris (June 14 to June 20). I was so worried about the weather, the strike, and the security threat that I almost cancelled the trip. But this turned out to be one of the best Paris trip. This is our 8th time in Paris (first time with kids), last time was 15 years ago. Nothing much changed except the toilets are much cleaner, and there were security check points on all museum and dept store entrances. The Eiffel Tower was closed due to strike on Tue June 14, but when we went on Wed June 15, there were no lines. In fact, we didn't enconter lines anywhere. We travelled by buses and metro and never had to wait more than 2 minutes. People are super friendly (friendlier than I remembered 15 years ago). It rained almost every day, but usually less than an hour each day. It's cool and beats walking around in sunny and hot days. We were able to see 2-3 attractions each day, plus hanging out in the park and do some shopping.
