TheParis metropolitan area has a community oforigins from Sub-Saharan Africa. There were 54,000 persons of African nationalities, excludingAlgeria,Morocco, andTunisia, according to the 2009 French census. Countries of origin in sub-Saharan Africa includeBurkina Faso, theDemocratic Republic of the Congo,Guinea,Cameroon,Mali, andSenegal.[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 the18th,19th, and20tharrondissements. In addition the following suburban municipalities had African settlement:Charenton,Issy-les-Moulineaux,Ivry-sur-Seine,Montreuil, andPantin.[2]
Montreuil's inhabitants often exaggeratedly nickname the town the "second Malian town afterBamako", or sometimes "Mali-sous-Bois"[3] or "Bamako-sur-Seine" even though theSeine does not run through the town. Montreuil does indeed have a large Malian population : more than 2,000 inhabitants according to theINSEE in 1999, between 6,000 and 10,000 people according to themairie,[4] which estimates that Montreuil has the largest Malian community in France.[3] 10% of the population is Malian or has Malian origins.[5]
