On June 14 last year, six Chinese oenology students were attacked by three drunk local men at their home in Hostens, south of France's western Gironde Province.

In addition, petty crimes, such as theft, against Chinese jumped 22 percent in Paris in 2013. Chinese visitors are thought to be targeted because of their preference for carrying cash over credit cards.

Paris, the most visited city in the world, has been suffering from increasing cases of pick-pocketing. A group of luxury retailers, including Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Hermes, fear the situation will drive their buyers to London or Milan instead.

The presence of foreign police is not uncommon in Paris streets. Uniformed Romanian police officers have patrolled Paris to help fight a growing tide of criminality among immigrant Romanians.
