Unless improve of public security, I will not go Paris again. Charlie Hebdo attack itself is not give the big impact. Biggest problem is Paris has a lot of gypsy robbers, especially Opera district. Terrible.
Moreover, The Le Grand discontinued RA complimentary club access. No way!

But in case I have such concerns and don't make my decision dependent on complimentary lounge access or not. Cannot follow the causality here

I personally found that the Opera district area is "feels" safe. Different story when you're around the Eiffel Tower and Lourve among other landmarks where you see lots of military police.

I think the security situation is in Paris not different to any other European capital, also in the Opera district, which I found to be quite safe.

Used my two ITN free nights here for a stay last week and there were no issues with the key system thankfully.
The Classic Room was upgraded to a Superior Room with a little balcony with a view down Rue Scribe to the left and even a glimpse of the top of the Eiffel Tower to the right.
Overall very happy with the stay with all Ambassador benefits explained at check in. The welcome amenity was a little glass jar of sweets and a hotel branded hardback notepad. Fruit basket was excellent too.

My friend stayed here last week for four nights and only paid 120 euros for access to the club for all four nights. That's quite a deal. I should only be so lucky when I arrive in late september.
(I should note that my friend is very beautiful so perhaps that had something to do with it.)

I was going to purchase it regardless of the upgrade as I had multiple IC stays this month so it was nice to get a guaranteed upgrade.
