Barbès-Rochechouart?

Question

I am interested in finding info about the area around the Tati located at Barbès-Rochechouart. my wife will be staying there with a friend for 3 weeks in Feb. Some say it is a cool place some say it is a rough area and dangerous. Which is it?

Answer 1

Very dangerous! Lots of traps for white slavery rings. A certain ethnicity is to be watched out for, abounds over there. They find their victims there who wake up in ____(let's just say abroad, among camels).

Tati is super-cheap clothes and stuff but I wouldn't let your wife stay in the area, if you care to be sure to ever see her again... I am very serious. Better stay closer to the Sacre-Coeur.

Answer 2

There aren't really many, if any,  places in Paris proper that can fairly be described as roigh and dangerous.

This area is a bit removed from the usual tourist haunts but, in my opinion, perfectly safe.

Answer 3

I can only tell a second time that this area is not the more pleasant  in Paris.

I suggest you to ask this question in the french yahoo and you will see...

Here is the french translation if you want :

Je suis intéressé d'avoir des informations sur le quartier de Tati près de Barbès-Rochechouart à Paris. Ma femme va y rester 3 semaines chez un ami en février.

Answer 4

surrely less dangerous than in los angeles in the night ....

We have no guns here ..., no major gang, no strike black vs latinos ....

Answer 5

Having lived there i would know. It is right in front of Sacre Coeur the church. So you are pretty safe being a very popular place with tourist. But don't stray too far. And certainly don't go there at night. Its not the best place. Stick to the center of paris at night, like the Louvre and Champs Elysee.... Good bets.
