Answer 2

Barbès is a really popular neighboorhood. Before Paris became Paris, this area was reserved to the farmers who made the wine called "la goutte d'or". Then, others workers came from all overthe world: Italy, Spain, Portugal, Algeria, Marocco, Jewish, Africans, Asians... SOo this is a really multi cultural area of Paris.

It's a really nice area, rally popular, it would be better for your wife she's not frightened by seeing a lot of people, a lot of different people. This is THE Most cosmopolite area of Paris i Think;

Answer 3

i am sorry to say that this area is no very good for foreigners to live in. I think she better go up toward place de Clichy and beyond....the 17arrondissement...... barbes rochechouart/18th arrondissement is well known for being one of the POOREST neighborhood of Paris...... it might be cheap to live there but i hope your wife doesnt intend to walk around in the evening, not very safe and should beware of pickpockets targetting foreigners in the area (they are all over France but particurlarly targetting this area because of the tourist coming to visit PIGALLE and the famous MOULIN ROUGE which is a stone throw around the corner. ....as well as not being a very beautifull area its packed with people during the day trying to get to one of THE cheapest store in France TATI.......like their motto says, TATI LES PLUS BAS PRIX!
