巴黎共和廣埸周圍張燈結綵,

正在迎接農曆新年的來臨。


回想巴黎亞裔區每年都舉辦

新年花車巡遊、舞龍舞獅

熱鬧非凡 。

人人笑開懷。



The Place de la Republique is surrounded 

by lanterns and ribbons. 


As I recall,  the Asian District 

in Paris was held every year

Lunar New Year's float parade, dragon 

and lion dance.

It was very lively.

Everyone was so happy 

and smiling.

巴黎十三區亞裔區 - Asian District of Paris (13th District )

 



盈珍攝影 - Ying Chen Photography


巴黎的主要亞裔唐人街

Quartier chinois de Paris

亦稱為小亞洲Petite Asie 

位於巴黎十三區。

是巴黎的三個亞裔社區之一。

巴黎的三個其他亞裔區:

巴黎二十區(Belleville )

是巴黎第二大唐人街。

巴黎第三區(rue au Marie )

華人和西南亞社區。

巴黎第二區(rue des Petits-Champs)

日本和韓國區。


1970年代,來自前法國殖民地

越南、柬埔寨、寮國

的華人定居於此。

許多居民說粵語、潮州話、

越南語高棉語和寮語。


巴黎唐人街是歐洲最大的亞洲社區。

此區居住約50,000華人。

居民還包括來自法屬玻里尼西亞

和法屬圭亞那的華人,

以及來自新喀里多尼亞的亞洲人。

有人說此地可謂臥虎藏龍。

其實移民的辛酸一言難盡。

我感受到此地雖有許多不同的族群,

但互動還是很融洽。

多元文化、語言、習俗⋯

需人們相互的的包容、理解與交流。

社會才能和諧美好。


傳統小店、手工藝品、茶具、

糕餅店、超商⋯目不暇給。

林蔭大道在夕陽中閃閃發光,

還有嘻哈笑鬧的人群

一掃冬日的陰霾。


漫步在久違的唐人街

有種特別親切的感受。



The main Asian Chinatown in Paris

Chinese Quarter of Paris

Also known as Little Asia.


It is located in the 13th arrondissement 

of Paris.

It is one of the three Asian communities 

in Paris.


Three other Asian districts in Paris :

Belleville -

in the twenty district of Paris.  it is the second largest Chinatown in Paris.

Rue au Marie -

in the  third district of Paris.  Chinese and Southwest Asian communities.

Rue des Petits-Champs -

in the second district of Paris,

it is the district of Japan and South Korea.


In the 1970s, 

from the former French colonies

Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos

Chinese settled here.

Many residents speak Cantonese, 

Chiuchow dialect, Vietnamese,

Khmer and Lao dialect.


Paris Chinatown is the largest Asian community in Europe.

There are about 50,000 Chinese 

living in this district.

Residents also include people from 

French Polynesia.

And the Chinese in French Guiana,

And Asians from New Caledonia.


Some people say that this place can be said

 ” crouching dragon and hidden tiger ” 

In fact, the bitterness of immigration is indescribable.

I feel that although there are many people from different ethnic groups in this area, 

the interaction is very harmonious.

Multiculturalism, language, customs...

It requires people's mutual tolerance and understanding and communication.

Only then can the society be harmonious and beautiful.


Hawkers, traditional shops, handicrafts,

tea sets, pastry shops, supermarkets

and abound.

The boulevard gleamed gold 

in the shine of the setting sun,

also crammed with laughing crowd

sweeping away the gloomy in winter.


Stroll in this place,

haven't been to for a long time,

I feel something special 

and affection.
