    Warning
    There is a threat from terrorism. Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travelers. A letter bomb exploded in a building in central Paris on 6 December 2007. One person was killed and another seriously injured.

    In recent years, a number of explosions and failed explosions have occurred in Corsica. Visitors are advised to take care, particularly in town centers and near public buildings, and be wary of unattended packages.
