I was visiting Paris and versaille in summer 2014 and also saw soldiers patroling several places like palace of Versailles, la Fontaine St Michel, Notre dame and probably much more. They were generally very disciplined as they did not allow any Smalltalk.
In Germany things have gotten worse over time. Security staff is checking the trains now daily for suspicious behaviour, normally you don't see those guys at all.
In Berlin main station you now can occasionally see policemen patroling with a MP5, which was a very very rare find (if it's not a hotspot kind of thing like demonstrations)
These are just my personal observations and maybe I have just been ignorant before, but I see things really changing
