Really? I was under the impression that a large part of the asian community in Paris was Vietnamese. Even your pictures show a lot of Vietnamese restaurants. But I guess we don't have an ethnic census to clear things up...

in any case, nice pics! thanks for sharing

[Minato Ku]

Of course there is but most vietnamese in France are ethnically chinese.
There is a lot of vietnamese restaurants in Paris but there is more chinese restaurants.

I like this guy's slogan... it's pretty much a euphemistic way of saying "Vote for me because I'm Asian."

[Tony]

Good stuff.

Your first set of photos, that isn't the 13th Arr. is it? I don't remember it looking like that.

[Minato Ku]

Of course it is the 13th arrondissement.
KGT, I agree he would has better chance in Lognes with this slogan (easter suburbs) where the majority the population is asian.
