Hi
Will be moving to Paris soon...looks like I'd probably be using the D Line of the RER to get into central paris from time to time. Will be going right to the end...(towards Orry-La-Ville)
However, the past few days I've heard only bad things about this line...since it goes through the banlieues. People being stabbed, horror stories, etc. If I was coming back at night would anyone recommend finding another way back than the RER? Or is it just a few people being dramatic?

Thanks

There was a rapist that stabbed a woman in RED D, but it was some years ago and he is arrested.
RER D was indeed classified as dangerous, especially at night and beyond Garges, the station after Villiers-le-Bel. It would be nice to have some friends with you when traveling at night and so deep in suburbs.

agh! great.
thanks for answering. Might see if I can stay in the city if I go out at night then.
It's ok during the day though right?
