>>77506563You'll rarely find nice places in Paris where only the locals go (we're one of the most visited city in the world after all, despite our best efforts to trash our reputation).
Personnally, I spend some time in the Quartier Latin, around the Panthéon, which is a district full of students so quite nice. There's a place called Au P'tit Grec, where you can buy good salty crêpes for a decent price, plenty of tourists and French student queue there as well, but you don't have to wait that long.
If you have an erection for anything East Asian, then go for the 13 Arrondissement, plenty of Chinese and Vietnamese over there. We've also got a lot of Koreans and Japanese in Paris, though as they're usually richer they are mostly in the center of Paris.
17 Arrondissement really nice too, you can to there and get scammed in a café, but you would still bé less scammed than in the center of Paris with all thé tourists.
18 and 19 Arrondissements are the place where it's full of Africans and Arabs. Barbès, Pigalle, Porte de la Chapelle, Stalingrad, ... are the most "dangerous", but it's also the cheapest place in Paris itself. It's really not that enjoyable though.
In terms of danger, just be wary of pickpockets, they'll see you're not a Parisian but a fuckin tourist so you'll be prime target. And scammers/tourist traps enforcer everywhere. Heck assume that someone that go out of their way to talk to you in the street is a scammer. Parisians rarely talk to each other, and especially never to tourists, we don't wanna talk English even more.
If you don't wanna have the rude Parisian waiter experience, before talking to any French guy, always say "Bonjour". If you wanna ask more than 1 baguette please, then after saying bonjour, ask the guy if he can speak English, bonus points if you ask him that in French. If the guy can't or don't want, he'll say no, but that let you avoid all the fucking awkward moment where they fucking ghost you.
