In France, they call them ZUS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitive_urban_zone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitive_urban_zone. Everybody is in denial. Me too, actually. Sometimes, even the police admits the existence of no-go zones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-go_area#France https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-go_area#France. La Courneuve and other districts in Paris were described by police as no-go zones. You see, the policemen claiming this kind of things about La Courneuve to the press, were probably fired afterwards. It is not allowed to admit this. But then again, I am very good at fitting in there. I know how to morph my clothing and composture to that effect. So, to me, these areas are perfectly safe. The hornets are not after me. They just do not like the police and other representatives of the State.

- werkschuwtuig 10y agoThat depends on who you are. For travelers from minority backgrounds, it is good to know that they will not be running into a right-wing nationalist. So, yes, it would work absolutely fine for a good subset of airbnb hosts and guests. Furthermore, the hornets are quite scared of older men with beards. A beard is therefore a weapon over there. It signifies danger. You'll never know whose relative that is! ;-)
