Requirements force you to search for things wherever you go.
I have many friends who are either living in Paris or came here for spending some time. No doubt Paris is always on the hit list, for all the travel freaks. A huge population in India loves to travel here from a long ago.
There are many Indians who are living in Paris for a long time. So the local people have established a market and other things as per their requirements. They have small groups and communities also for celebrating their festivals and celebrations. So a list of items which Indian often search are as below-
- Indian cuisine
Who doesn’t love food, they have eaten from childhood. It’s good to try different cuisines wherever you go, but after some time we crave for food we are used to. - English speaking people
Most of the population in France speaks French. So only English-speaking Indians find it difficult to communicate with locals. So they always look for people who can speak English. - Indian Groceries
Indians are used to eating lentils, rice, chapatis, and spices which are hard to find everywhere in France. They have some specific market like “La Chapelle mini India in France” where you can get most of the Indian stuff. - Items/materials used for worship
Most families in India start their morning by doing worship in front of the idol of God and Goddess they put in their houses. Similarly, people, who move to Paris for a long duration look for materials they require for worship. - Kitchen tools
One of my friends went there for spending a few months in Paris. He was very much sure about cooking food by himself. Although he was carrying most of the tools and food items with him. But he forgot to take the rolling pin with him. After lots of hard work and spending a few days in different markets he got a rolling pin suitable for Indian chapatis/poori. - Cheap and best shopping centers
No doubt Paris is costlier than India in many ways. People who visit Paris for the first time always look for markets, which can help them for buying stuff for less money. - Indian nanny or English speaking nanny
Again, the same point, most Indians find themselves comfortable in speaking English. It is a bit hard to find suitable nannies in a different country for your small kids.
These were a few things which most of the Indians prefer to search in Paris. If you are looking for a list of items you must carry here, it depends on the duration of your stay.
