Old Paris Is No More

Of course, old Paris is no more ! I live near Paris, and I go in this town only when I am forced to. Residential intensification, insecurity (pickpockets in the metro), migrants, Paris nowadays has nothing to do with the romantic vision of American people. Real Parisians now live in the suburb, there is some very nice towns in the suburbs. (Others not so nice, it depends where you go).

The article is about the 18th and 19th centuries.

So little has changed in the process then to now to be easily confused, or what is your point?

16 out of the top 20 French communes by household incomes are in the Parisian suburbs [0]. Generally, the western suburbs are richer, as well as the ones directly next to Paris.

The list is too long. But for example, Rueil-Malmaison is a good suburb.
