Public Service Announcement!

From E-nough:
The Department of State advises U.S. citizens traveling or residing in France to avoid areas where crowds are expected to gather, to exercise caution, particularly during evening and nighttime hours, and to closely follow media reports.
...

If you are looking for a true French experience but do not want to risk your life, we suggest staying stateside and making reservations at Le Bernadin in NYC. A battalion of wait staff will hover about your elegantly appointed table without offering any service, the table captain will rush you through your butter poached lobster and crème glacée au beurre noisette to clear out the scut in advance of the after-theater crowd, and all at the same extortionate prices of les grandes tables of France.

Enjoy your French experience!
Well gosh, I thought they'd be glad to see us and just throw another Renault on the carbeque! Heck, they all speak English.
