What Travelers Can Expect in Paris
袭击之后,在巴黎的游客怎么办?
France was the top destination for international tourists last year, in no small part because of Paris’s allure. The fatal terrorist attacks in the city on Nov. 13 upended lives and a place that tourists hold dear. Below is information on how hotels and air carriers are accommodating travelers who are affected, when cultural sites are reopening, getting around town and the country and how tourists can do their part to help.

The single best thing travelers can do to help, said Stephane Tillement, the president and chief executive of the Paris travel company Mauriac Voyages, is to stay in Paris and to keep coming to the country. “Tourists already in Paris or France shouldn’t rush back home, and those who already have a trip planned here shouldn’t cancel,” he said. “The French need support now more than ever and want to return to normal life, and leaving or not visiting won’t accomplish that.”
游客最能帮到法国的事情就是待在巴黎,继续来法国旅行,巴黎旅游企业莫里亚克旅行社(Mauriac Voyages)的总裁兼首席执行官斯特凡・蒂耶芒(Stephane Tillement)如此表示。“已经来到巴黎或法国的游客,不应该慌忙赶回家,已经在这里规划好行程的游客也不应该取消,”他说。“现在法国比以往任何时候都更需要支持,也希望回归正常生活,如果游客离开或者不再过来,就无法做到那一点。”
