While French secularism (laïcité) can be intimidating, Paris itself is very multicultural. You will see many hijabis in the 18th and 19th arrondissements. In tourist areas like the Louvre or Eiffel Tower, you will be perfectly safe, though it is always good to be aware of your surroundings as you would in any major city.
