Visit the Left Bank, where Richard Wright, James Baldwin, and other African-American writers lived. Stroll past the famous Sorbonne, down major boulevards, and through one of Paris' most beautiful gardens. Several shopping locations for clothes, cosmetics, interior design goods and more are found in the vicinity.

During today's walk, you will experience all the glamour of Paris while learning of Black-owned restaurants and nightclubs, art exhibits featuring African-American works, gospel concerts and other aspects of African/Diaspora history and contemporary life.

There's no area of Paris that's known as "Little Africa" or "Black Paris", but there are certainly neighborhoods with large African communities. I should know, I used to live in one. In my case, it was Marcadet-Poissonniers (where métro lines 4 and 12 intersect in the 18th arrondissement, in the northern part of the city). Very close by was Barbès-Rochechouart, which is very cosmopolitan... many people from the Maghreb and from sub-Saharan Africa. The 19th arrondissement has a large immigrant population as well.
