Oldies but goodies. Le langage populaire is pretty fluid, but if you're already in Paris I would think you'd have plenty of opportunities for exposure to the real deal. Do you spend much time with Francophones?

I'm in a different place from where you are--I'm working on my ear more generally--but I recall coming into possession of a little book called Merde!: The Real French You Were Never Taught at School. That one's nearly twenty years old now, but similar works exist.

Google-fu (or DuckDuckGo, whatever) turned up a big slang dictionary, some flashcards if that's your thing, a blog with examples, and a jumping-off point on YouTube to hear how some of it sounds. Specifically, I ran a search for "French argot," which seems to yield more solid results than do either "slang" or "colloquial French." I hope some of that helps!

It made my French classes a lot more fun.
