Just because Kim Kardashian got robbed there? The woman - and her 'security' guy - were fool enough to widely advertise her whereabouts. Kim also posted pictures of herself there, decorated like a Christmas tree, and for some strange reason kept $ 10 million worth of diamonds in a jewelry box in her room instead of in the hotel's central safe. Well, for her it means enormous front-page publicity, a huge insurance claim and the prospect of shopping for another 10 million in jewels - or some payment for her almost-broke husband to his most urgent creditors.
But in general, Paris is for the ordinary visitor no more dangerous than London, Detroit or New York. There have been riots in the Parisian suburbs where many unemployed young Muslims live and there have been a couple of terrorist attacks, so far only in places not too much visited by tourists. Security as a result has been much tightened in Paris, certainly in the tourist areas.

How do you get from Charles de gaulle airport to the Eiffel tower?
Cabs are expensive and Paris has a superb public transit system, so you're better off going by train. There is an RER (commuter rail) station inside CDG, though it's a bit of a walk from most gates.
Take the RER Roissy line to the Gare du Nord (north train station). From there you can take either the connecting RER line to Champs de Mars station, or the Métro (subway/underground) to the Trocadero station.
A Métro ticket is good on either line; if you're planning on doing a lot of travelling be sure to buy a carnet (booklet) of tickets first because it's a lot cheaper than individual tickets. Also, hold onto your ticket because you need it to exit the system as well as enter it.

After marriage, you may apply for an Employment Authorization Document (I-765), drivers license and social security card. All three will be needed to hold virtually any job in the U.S. Of course, it takes time for these applications and petitions to be processed. Therefore, generally speaking, factor in a waiting period of 3 - 6 months before you will actually be authorized to work in the U.S. after your marriage.
