What neighborhoods in Paris are the least commercialized? [closed]

I will be in Paris, France for about three weeks, and after rushing to the largest marketplaces and cultural centers, I will be looking for something more "low-key" and largely untouched by tourism.

I understand that all neighborhoods are commercialized to some extent -- I am looking to find neighborhoods that best represent the Paris that can exist without heavy tourism.

There are countless places you could go but the paradox is that looking for the “authentic” side of the city is a very touristy thing to do in itself.

A few ideas nonetheless:

Do a visit with a Paris Greeter or a balade urbaine in Seine-Saint-Denis.
Take the RER to the cité des 4000 in La Courneuve (a prominent example of grand ensemble or chemin de grue architecture), Cergy-Pontoise (a ville nouvelle from the 1960s) or another banlieue. Some people might tell you it's dangerous.
If you did not already plan it for your transit, go to the gare du Nord.
