People know what’s going on even if the enemedia and the culture police insist all is fabuleux and magnifique in the La Ville-Lumière (city of lights). Despite banning terms such as “no-go zones,” the people know.

The Louvre attack, Bataclan, Hyper Casher kosher market, the Charlie Hebdo jihad slaughter, and now tourists are targeted and robbed. Tourists have been advised to stay away — the only people still booking their flights are New York Times readers and anyone else who gets news from the kool-aid dispensers.

The city also announced this month that it was building an eight-foot tall bullet-proof glass wall around the Eiffel Tower, with visitors forced to enter through new security check points.

Paris Tourism Falls 1.5 Million in 2016 after Terror Fears, Costs Economy €1.3 Billion

Paris and the surrounding region lost 1.5 million tourists on 2016 as visitors, especially from the Far East, stay away due to ongoing terror fears.

According to the Comité Regional du Tourisme, the Paris Ile-de-France region also lost 1.3 billion euros in tourist income, while the number of nights spent by foreign visitors in the region’s hotels also fell by 10.8 per cent.

Some sights in particular “have suffered deeply from the lack of tourists and cancellations by school groups”, the committee says, including the Arc de triomphe which saw a 24 per cent drop in visitors.

The Louvre museum, which earlier this month was subject to an attack from a machete wielding man shouting “Allahu Akbar”, also saw a 13.3 per cent drop last year.
