When we were in Paris, French military personnel were very much a presence among the crowds at the Eiffel Tower. While discomfiting at first, we came to appreciate the fact that they were standing guard.

There have been a couple (at least) attempts to blow up la Tour Eiffel.
Yikes! Having these men and women out and about is not doubt a good thing, then!
Well, I wonder... if the cute couple kissing would be very much feeling secured by the presence of military personels?
They still are everywhere there is a crowd: railway stations, museums and every major landmark.
@ VP - And probably a deterrent to the bad guys, too, don't you think?
