Parisians
French capital residents
Parisians are the people of Paris, France's capital city.
The term carries connotations of sophistication, style, and a certain cosmopolitan attitude—sometimes admiring, sometimes implying aloofness or pretension: Parisians have a reputation for being fashionable but unfriendly to tourists.
The singular is Parisian, which also serves as an adjective: Parisian cafés, Parisian nightlife.
