The selfie stick trend is taking over Paris' monuments

Is Paris being taken over by selfie sticks?

We've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly of the selfie stick trend lately. Last month, a man was killed when lightning struck his selfie stick during a storm. Only a few days later, a selfie stick saved the lives of two swimmers in Nantucket who were caught in a riptide.

Despite some of the positives of the trend, and the overwhelming amount of people who are taking part, the negatives seem to be more glaring and are causing many notable companies and tourist destinations to ban the tool. Disney recently banned all selfie sticks from rides at Disney World, Disneyland, and other related parks, citing safety concerns.

Several museums in Paris, such as the Palace of Versailles, have begun forcing people to put away their selfie sticks before they enter. However, much of the city is still overrun by smartphones pointed to the sky. Click through the slideshow above to see all of the monuments and destinations in France's capital that have yet to ban selfie sticks -- though we're sure they're considering it.
