Ethnicity in Paris |

The Paris metropolitan area has a community of origins from Sub-Saharan Africa. There were 54,000 persons of African nationalities, excluding Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia, according to the 2009 French census. Countries of origin in sub-Saharan Africa include Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea, Cameroon, Mali, and Senegal. [1]
There was a significant increase in persons of sub-Saharan African origins residing in Paris from 1960 to 1992. [2]
As of circa 1995 the favored locations for sub-Saharan African settlement in the city of Paris included the 18th, 19th, and 20th arrondissements. In addition the following suburban municipalities had African settlement: Charenton, Issy-les-Moulineaux, Ivry-sur-Seine, Montreuil, and Pantin. [2]
Montreuil's inhabitants often exaggeratedly nickname the town the "second Malian town after Bamako", or sometimes "Mali-sous-Bois" [3] or "Bamako-sur-Seine" even though the Seine does not run through the town. Montreuil does indeed have a large Malian population : more than 2,000 inhabitants according to the INSEE in 1999, between 6,000 and 10,000 people according to the mairie, [4] which estimates that Montreuil has the largest Malian community in France. [3] 10% of the population is Malian or has Malian origins. [5]

The musical style coupé-décalé emphasizes the relationship between Abidjan, Ivory Coast and Paris. [6]
