Sure - Gare du Nord, Jaurés, Barbès, Cambrai, Goutte d’Or, all around Périphérique highway, and probably lots of other ones.

For the poor soul that had to read this, these are typical places people would answer. I literally walk through Gare du Nord every week at midnight and never even had a bad look. Sure, drug addicts and black market smokes, your typical poor area.

You are actually more likely to get mugged on the Champs Elysées or the 16th.
