The Asian Dating App for Paris
Last updated
Paris has the largest Asian community in continental Europe, built over decades by Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laotian, and Chinese families. Krush helps you meet Asian singles across the city.
The local dating scene
Paris is unusual in Europe for how deep its Asian roots go — the 13th arrondissement has been a major Asian quarter since the late 1970s, and many people dating here are second or third generation, holding a French identity and an Asian one simultaneously. Belleville in the northeast is the other main quarter, La Chapelle the South Asian one, and the café terrace remains the default first date.
The local community
Paris and its region hold France's largest Asian population, with substantial Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laotian, and Chinese communities, many established for decades, alongside growing South Asian, Japanese, and Korean communities and a large international student population.

Students & campus communities
The Latin Quarter still functions as the heart of student Paris, with the Sorbonne and Université Paris Cité drawing large international cohorts, while Sciences Po pulls a highly international postgraduate community into the 7th. Many students are also second-generation Parisians from the banlieues studying in the centre. Cheap student life runs on café terraces, the Seine, and parks rather than bars. Krush leads with heritage and languages, which suits a city where being French and Asian at once is the norm rather than the exception.

Frequently asked questions
Where do people meet Asian singles in Paris?
The 13th arrondissement is the largest Asian quarter in Europe, with Belleville in the northeast as the other main centre. La Chapelle holds the South Asian community, the Opéra area has the Japanese quarter, and café terraces across the city do the rest.
Is Krush free in Paris?
Yes — Krush is free to download and use across Paris and Île-de-France on iOS and Android.
Is Krush good for second-generation Asian French people?
That is one of its clearest uses here. A great many Asian Parisians are second or third generation, holding a French identity and an Asian one at once. Krush puts heritage and languages on the profile, so that in-between experience is shared ground rather than something to explain.
Do I need French to date in Paris?
It helps considerably outside international student circles. Krush lists the languages someone speaks and the ones they are learning on every profile, so you can match on a shared language, and plenty of people in Paris are bilingual.
Will Krush match me across Paris?
Yes, and a wide radius is realistic within the city. The Métro makes almost all of central Paris reachable in half an hour, though the outer suburbs are a longer trip — worth factoring into a weeknight plan.
