Paris is of course the most famous city in France, that's why I decided to begin with it. The city is located in the region Ile-de-France. Paris is divided into 20 neighbourhoods, called "arrondissements". More than 2 300 000 inhabitants live there and they're called "Parisians", that is to say "Parisiens" in French. The superficy of the city is 105 km².

You can visit the official website of the city : https://www.paris.fr/english
