In the 1970s a wave of refugees and immigrants from Southeast Asia settled in the "Triangle de Choisy", made up of the Avenue de Choisy, Avenue d'Ivry and the Boulevard Masséna.
Description
Although the district is known as Chinatown, many of the residents are actually from Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand, and speak a different dialect from the Chinese populations in the Arts-et-Métiers and Belleville districts.
