Absolutely. I will say I rode the subway to my hotel and then the next day, only.
The first day I had tons of luggage on me and other stuff in all types of pockets(had my crap and my gfs crap on me), so I might have been a little more cautious and vigilent than usual. The next day our train stopped for no apparent reason for almost 45 minutes.
Then we are walking to our hotel near La Defense and a police officer tells us this area isn't safe. So yeah, we took a cab to the airport when we headed out.
My experience was bias towards the bad, I will end up going again to better gauge it(and stay in a nicer part of town
).
