“…Despite the number of people from the African continent living in Paris today, France has a complicated relationship with its residents from visible ethnocultural groups, which includes people from Africa. Past research on this subject discusses that this is due to structural racism that is nourished by official State Secularism, which continues to nullify the existence of any cultures other than French [6][7][8]12,21,[23][24][25][26][27]. Because of this, people from visible ethnocultural groups exist in a sort of duelling cultural ground concerning identity.…”

“…For example, most younger vendors indicated that have been living in the country for less than 1-5 years, whilst several older sellers stated that they have resided in France anywhere from 5 to 20 years. Previous studies further elaborate and give detailed information on recent undocumented migrants from the African continent residing in Paris [8,9,15,17,18,27].…”

The Eiffel Tower is an enduring symbol, and people from around the world dream of travelling to Paris to gaze at it. Walking amongst the millions of tourists who visit the famous site each year are an enterprising group of African souvenir vendors whose livelihoods rely on the sales of miniature versions of the structure. As visibly omnipresent as these sellers are at the tower, their experience as undocumented migrants working unofficially makes them invisible. For the Paris authorities, the mere presence of Africans offering cheap keepsakes at the Eiffel Tower is considered an illegal nuisance that must be eradicated. No matter, recurrent police interventions have failed to cease the unauthorised souvenir market. Because these independent entrepreneurs are neither wanted nor welcomed, Africans selling trinkets at the iconic Parisian site face daily challenges. Until now, no one has ever investigated or profoundly surveyed their experience working at one of the most-visited places in the world. This study aims to demystify this unique group of Africans in Paris after observing and informally engaging with them directly concerning various topics. Despite the demur realities confronting them as undocumented migrants living clandestinely in a country that does not want them, these migrants remain hopeful for the future.
