Travelers need to visit an embassy in Paris only when they encounter trouble and need assistance.
The embassy is the place to go when you have lost your passport or have quereies about a potentially dangerous location.
In worse case scenarios, your home country’s embassy in Paris, or consulate will be able to provide you with legal advice and may even be able to advance you money should it be necessary.
However they cannot get you out of trouble if you break the law - you must always follow French law in France.
