Paris English Forums

Hi, I am new to this website, I will be moving to Paris in a months time, and am being housed in an appartment by my new job. The flat is in Pantin (metro Eglise de Pantin) and I really know nothing about the area so am a bit worried it might be one of the infamous banlieues! If anybody does know the area, would you please take a moment to drop me a message and reassure/warn me please! Thank you very much
