Security Level 3: The overall assessment of threats in France is Medium. In general, the security concern visitors to France are most likely to encounter is crime. Petty crime is common, particularly in the country's larger cities. Strikes in the public and private sectors occur frequently and may disrupt services used by travelers, including transportation. Street demonstrations also occur regularly throughout the country, frequently disrupting traffic. Although protests are usually peaceful, they sometimes devolve into violence. The threat of terrorism perpetrated by Islamist militants such as those affiliated with or inspired by alQaeda or the Islamic State (IS) and other extremist elements represents a continuing threat in France. Several terrorist attacks have occurred in France in recent years. Future attacks could involve largescale bombings or less sophisticated but still deadly smallerscale assaults. Additionally, there is a persistent threat posed by radicalized individuals who are capable of carrying out "lone wolf" attacks that are difficult to detect or prevent. Domestic terrorist groups most notably the Corsican National Liberation Front (FLNC) have carried out occasional attacks in France in the past, but the frequency of attacks has significantly decreased and foreign visitors are rarely affected.
