Montreuil's inhabitants often exaggeratedly nickname the town the "second Malian town after
Bamako", or sometimes "Mali-sous-Bois"[3] or "Bamako-sur-Seine" even though the
Seine does not run through the town. Montreuil does indeed have a large Malian population : more than 2,000 inhabitants according to the
INSEE in 1999, between 6,000 and 10,000 people according to the mairie,[4] which estimates that Montreuil has the largest Malian community in France.[3] 10% of the population is Malian or has Malian origins.[5]
