  • Women of Color: Unless you want your hair braided, stay off Chateau D'eau. There are tons of braiding salons in which men are sent to solicit customers off the street. A very aggressive middle man grabbed my arm, and wouldn't let go. He insisted I get my hair braided. I had to yell several times, "Arret. Take your hands off of me." Finally he did, but he was very embittered after that.

    DON'T EVEN TAKE A BUSINESS CARD IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED!

    I escaped to the first Metro station I could find - Chateau D'eau. This station could have been cleaner.
