I have been going to Paris occassionally for nearly twenty years and seen the same thing, with the outskirts being dumps but slowly creeping towards city center.
As of this year the roughly 1st-8th arrondissements remain theorhetically nice. However, ten years ago your issues in them were the same as in any big European city, with mostly Gypsies trying to rip off tourists and such.
Now they have been joined by africoons and moslums, who are less even scamy and more straight up gibs and just trashing the place. It sadly seems only a matter of time for the center as well.
