Whether you’re an escort, a client, or just curious about the scene, staying safe in Paris is non‑negotiable. The City of Love can also be a city of risks if you ignore a few simple rules. Below you’ll find the most useful safety steps you can start using right now.
Legal Basics You Must Know
French law treats prostitution itself as legal, but it criminalizes buying sexual services and any third‑party profiteering. That means:
Escorts can work independently, but agencies that take a cut may face legal trouble.
Clients should never ask for “off‑the‑books” payments; use documented, traceable methods.
Both parties should keep communication on the platform that hosts the profile – it provides a paper trail if anything goes wrong.
Know your rights: you can ask for a copy of the platform’s terms, and you’re allowed to stop an encounter at any point without penalty.
Everyday Safety Practices
Safety isn’t just about laws; it’s about habits you build every day. Here are the top habits used by seasoned Paris escorts:
Screen contacts carefully. Look for verified photos, real‑name social links, and consistent messaging. If a profile looks too perfect, it probably is fake.
Share your plans. Send your location and schedule to a trusted friend before any meet‑up. Apps that let you share live location are a lifesaver.
Meet in public first. A coffee shop or a well‑lit restaurant lets you gauge the person’s vibe before moving somewhere private.
Set clear boundaries. Write down what you’re comfortable with and stick to it. If a client pushes, end the conversation and walk away.
Use secure payments. Cash is common, but if you accept digital money, choose services that hide personal data and keep receipts.
Protect your health. Keep condoms and lubricants handy, and schedule regular health checks. It’s part of professional care.
Keep a self‑care routine. Sleep, nutrition, and mental breaks prevent burnout and keep you sharp for each appointment.
For clients, the same rules apply: verify the escort’s profile, respect boundaries, and always arrange a public first meeting.
