| [48][49] The conflicts ended when pretender to the throne Henry IV, after converting to Catholicism to gain entry to the capital, entered the city in 1594 to claim the crown of France. | WIKI |
| In spite of Henry IV's efforts to improve city circulation, the narrowness of Paris' streets was a contributing factor in his assassination near Les Halles marketplace in 1610. | WIKI |

| Paris is located in northern central France, in a north-bending arc of the river Seine whose crest includes two islands, the xc3x8ele Saint-Louis and the larger xc3x8ele de la Citxc3xa9, which form the oldest part of the city. | WIKI |
| The river's mouth on the English Channel (La Manche) is about 233xc2xa0mi (375xc2xa0km) downstream from the city. | WIKI |
| The city is spread widely on both banks of the river. | WIKI |
| [103] Overall, the city is relatively flat, and the lowest point is 35xc2xa0m (115xc2xa0ft) above sea level. | WIKI |
| [105] The city's last major annexation of outlying territories in 1860 not only gave it its modern form but also created the 20 clockwise-spiralling arrondissements (municipal boroughs). | WIKI |
| From the 1860 area of 78xc2xa0km2 (30xc2xa0sqxc2xa0mi), the city limits were expanded marginally to 86.9xc2xa0km2 (33.6xc2xa0sqxc2xa0mi) in the 1920s. | WIKI |
| In 1929, the Bois de Boulogne and Bois de Vincennes forest parks were officially annexed to the city, bringing its area to about 105xc2xa0km2 (41xc2xa0sqxc2xa0mi). | WIKI |
| [106] The metropolitan area of the city is 2,300xc2xa0km2 (890xc2xa0sqxc2xa0mi). | WIKI |

| City government[edit] | WIKI |
| The city was not granted municipal autonomy by the National Assembly until 1974. | WIKI |
| [120] The first modern elected mayor of Paris was Jacques Chirac, elected 20 March 1977, becoming the city's first mayor since 1793. | WIKI |
| The mayor of Paris is elected indirectly by Paris voters; the voters of each of the city's 20 arrondissements elect members to the Conseil de Paris (Council of Paris), which subsequently elects the mayor. | WIKI |
| Once elected, the council plays a largely passive role in the city government, primarily because it meets only once a month. | WIKI |
| The budget of the city for 2018 is 9.5 billion Euros, with an expected deficit of 5.5 billion Euros. | WIKI |
| 7.9 billion Euros are designated for city administration, and 1.7 billion Euros for investment. | WIKI |
| The number of city employees increased from 40,000 in 2001 to 55,000 in 2018. | WIKI |

| Vans of CRS agents are frequently seen in the centre of the city when there are demonstrations and public events. | WIKI |
| Violent crime is relatively rare in the city centre. | WIKI |
| Most French rulers since the Middle Ages made a point of leaving their mark on a city that, contrary to many other of the world's capitals, has never been destroyed by catastrophe or war. | WIKI |
| [146] At its origin, before the Middle Ages, the city was composed of several islands and sandbanks in a bend of the Seine; of those, two remain today: xc3x8ele Saint-Louis and the xc3x8ele de la Citxc3xa9. | WIKI |
| Between 1853 and 1870 they rebuilt the city centre, created the wide downtown boulevards and squares where the boulevards intersected, imposed standard facades along the boulevards, and required that the facades be built of the distinctive cream-grey "Paris stone". | WIKI |
| They also built the major parks around the city centre. | WIKI |
| [147] The high residential population of its city centre also makes it much different from most other western major cities. | WIKI |
| In recent developments, a 1974xe2x80x932010 building height limitation of 37 metres (121xc2xa0ft) was raised to 50xc2xa0m (160xc2xa0ft) in central areas and 180 metres (590xc2xa0ft) in some of Paris' peripheral quarters, yet for some of the city's more central quarters, even older building-height laws still remain in effect. | WIKI |
| [154] Two-thirds of the city's 1.3 million residences are studio and two-room apartments. | WIKI |
| Only 33 percent of principal residence Parisians own their habitation (against 47 percent for the entire xc3x8ele-de-France): the major part of the city's population is a rent-paying one. | WIKI |
| [154] Social or public housing represented 19.9 percent of the city's total residences in 2017. | WIKI |
| Its distribution varies widely throughout the city, from 2.6 percent of the housing in the wealthy 7th arrondissement, to 24 percent in the 20th arrondissement, 26 percent in the 14th arrondissement and 39.9 percent in the 19th arrondissement, on the poorer southwest and northern edges of the city. | WIKI |
| To the north of the city, they are grouped mainly in the Seine-Saint-Denis department, and to a lesser extreme to the east in the Val-d'Oise department. | WIKI |
| [168] Despite the drop, Paris remains the most densely-populated city in Europe, with 252 residents per hectare, not counting parks. | WIKI |
| and partly to the possible loss of housing in the city due to short-term rentals for tourism. | WIKI |
| The city's population loss came to a temporary halt at the beginning of the 21st century; the population increased from 2,125,246 in 1999 to 2,240,621 in 2012, before declining again slightly in 2017. | WIKI |
| According to Eurostat, the EU statistical agency, in 2012 the Commune of Paris was the most densely populated city in the European Union, with 21,616 people per square kilometre within the city limits (the NUTS-3 statistical area), ahead of Inner London West, which had 10,374 people per square kilometre. | WIKI |
| At the beginning of the twentieth century, Paris was the largest Catholic city in the world. | WIKI |
| The economy of the City of Paris is based largely on services and commerce; of the 390,480 enterprises in the city, 80.6 percent are engaged in commerce, transportation, and diverse services, 6.5 percent in construction, and just 3.8 percent in industry. | WIKI |
| The second-largest business district in terms of employment is La Dxc3xa9fense, just west of the city, where many companies installed their offices in the 1990s. | WIKI |
| The top ten French companies listed in the Fortune Global 500 for 2018 all have their headquarters in the Paris Region; six in the central business district of the City of Paris; and four close to the city in the Hauts-de-Seine Department, three in La Dxc3xa9fense and one in Boulogne-Billancourt. | WIKI |
| [201] The Paris region's most intense economic activity through the central Hauts-de-Seine department and suburban La Dxc3xa9fense business district places Paris' economic centre to the west of the city, in a triangle between the Opxc3xa9ra Garnier, La Dxc3xa9fense and the Val de Seine. | WIKI |
| In the 2017 worldwide cost of living survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit, based on a survey made in September 2016, Paris ranked as the seventh most expensive city in the world, and the second most expensive in Europe, after Zurich. | WIKI |

| [214] Generally speaking, incomes are higher in the Western part of the city and in the western suburbs than in the northern and eastern parts of the urban area. | WIKI |
| While Paris has some of the richest neighbourhoods in France, it also has some of the poorest, mostly on the eastern side of the city. | WIKI |

| The centre of Paris contains the most visited monuments in the city, including the Notre Dame Cathedral (now closed for restoration) and the Louvre as well as the Sainte-Chapelle; Les Invalides, where the tomb of Napoleon is located, and the Eiffel Tower are located on the Left Bank south-west of the centre. | WIKI |
| Several other much-visited landmarks are located in the suburbs of the city; the Basilica of St Denis, in Seine-Saint-Denis, is the birthplace of the Gothic style of architecture and the royal necropolis of French kings and queens. | WIKI |
| The company paid the city government 7.3 million euros in 2016. | WIKI |
| For centuries, Paris has attracted artists from around the world, who arrive in the city to educate themselves and to seek inspiration from its vast pool of artistic resources and galleries. | WIKI |
| Paris was in its artistic prime in the 19th century and early 20th century, when it had a colony of artists established in the city and in art schools associated with some of the finest painters of the times: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, xc3x89douard Manet, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Paul Gauguin, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and others. | WIKI |
| The second-most visited museum in the city in 2020, and 12th most visited art museum in the world, with 3.5 million visitors, was the Centre Georges Pompidou, also known as Beaubourg, which houses the Musxc3xa9e National d'Art Moderne. | WIKI |
| A half dozen music halls exist today in Paris, attended mostly by visitors to the city. | WIKI |
| The winner of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature, Patrick Modiano (who lives in Paris), based most of his literary work on the depiction of the city during World War II and the 1960sxe2x80x931970s. | WIKI |
| Bal-musette is a style of French music and dance that first became popular in Paris in the 1870s and 1880s; by 1880 Paris had some 150 dance halls in the working-class neighbourhoods of the city. | WIKI |
| [255] Patrons danced the bourrxc3xa9e to the accompaniment of the cabrette (a bellows-blown bagpipe locally called a "musette") and often the vielle xc3xa0 roue (hurdy-gurdy) in the cafxc3xa9s and bars of the city. | WIKI |
| Parisian and Italian musicians who played the accordion adopted the style and established themselves in Auvergnat bars especially in the 19th arrondissement,[256] and the romantic sounds of the accordion has since become one of the musical icons of the city. | WIKI |
| Paris is the spiritual home of gypsy jazz in particular, and many of the Parisian jazzmen who developed in the first half of the 20th century began by playing Bal-musette in the city. | WIKI |
| Some of the finest manouche musicians in the world are found here playing the cafxc3xa9s of the city at night. | WIKI |
| Today, due to Paris' cosmopolitan population, every French regional cuisine and almost every national cuisine in the world can be found there; the city has more than 9,000 restaurants. | WIKI |
| The cafxc3xa9 arrived in Paris in the 17th century, when the beverage was first brought from Turkey, and by the 18th century Parisian cafxc3xa9s were centres of the city's political and cultural life. | WIKI |
| Its name is said to have come in 1814 from the Russian soldiers who occupied the city; "bistro" means "quickly" in Russian, and they wanted their meals served rapidly so they could get back their encampment. | WIKI |
| Paris Fashion Week, held in January and July in the Carrousel du Louvre among other renowned city locations, is one of the top four events on the international fashion calendar. | WIKI |
| Bastille Day, a celebration of the storming of the Bastille in 1789, the biggest festival in the city, is a military parade taking place every year on 14 July on the Champs-xc3x89lysxc3xa9es, from the Arc de Triomphe to Place de la Concorde. | WIKI |
| Most of the campuses today are in the Latin Quarter where the old university was located, while others are scattered around the city and the suburbs. | WIKI |
| [292] In addition to Paris Saint-Germain F.C., the city has a number of other professional and amateur football clubs: Paris FC, Red Star, RCF Paris and Stade Franxc3xa7ais Paris. | WIKI |
| The city also hosted the finals of the 1938 FIFA World Cup (at the Stade Olympique de Colombes), as well as the 1998 FIFA World Cup and the 2007 Rugby World Cup Final (both at the Stade de France). | WIKI |
| Since the inauguration of its first line in 1900, Paris's Mxc3xa9tro network has grown to become the city's most widely used local transport system; today it carries about 5.23 million passengers daily[299] through 16 lines, 303 stations (385 stops) and 220xc2xa0km (136.7xc2xa0mi) of rails. | WIKI |
| The city is served by three commercial international airports: Parisxe2x80x93Charles de Gaulle, Parisxe2x80x93Orly and Beauvaisxe2x80x93Tillxc3xa9 Airport. | WIKI |
| [304] There is also one general aviation airport, Paris-Le Bourget, historically the oldest Parisian airport and closest to the city centre, which is now used only for private business flights and air shows. | WIKI |
| [300] Beauvais-Tillxc3xa9 Airport, located 69 kilometres (43 miles) north of Paris' city centre, is used by charter airlines and low-cost carriers such as Ryanair. | WIKI |
| The city is also the most important hub of France's motorway network, and is surrounded by three orbital freeways: the Pxc3xa9riphxc3xa9rique,[105] which follows the approximate path of 19th-century fortifications around Paris, the A86 motorway in the inner suburbs, and finally the Francilienne motorway in the outer suburbs. | WIKI |
| As of 2012[update], around 50% of electricity generated in the xc3x8ele-de-France comes from cogeneration energy plants located near the outer limits of the region; other energy sources include the Nogent Nuclear Power Plant (35%), trash incineration (9% xe2x80x93 with cogeneration plants, these provide the city in heat as well), methane gas (5%), hydraulics (1%), solar power (0.1%) and a negligible amount of wind power (0.034 GWh). | WIKI |
| [313] A quarter of the city's district heating is to come from a plant in Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, burning a 50/50-mix of coal and 140,000 tonnes of wood pellets from the United States per year. | WIKI |
| [315] From 1857, the civil engineer Eugxc3xa8ne Belgrand, under Napoleon III, oversaw the construction of a series of new aqueducts that brought water from locations all around the city to several reservoirs built atop the Capital's highest points of elevation. | WIKI |
| Between 1853 and 1870, Emperor Napoleon III and the city's first director of parks and gardens, Jean-Charles Adolphe Alphand, created the Bois de Boulogne, Bois de Vincennes, Parc Montsouris and Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, located at the four points of the compass around the city, as well as many smaller parks, squares and gardens in the Paris's quarters. | WIKI |
| [325] Since 1977, the city has created 166 new parks, most notably the Parc de la Villette (1987), Parc Andrxc3xa9 Citroxc3xabn (1992), Parc de Bercy (1997) and Parc Clichy-Batignolles (2007). | WIKI |
| [326] One of the newest parks, the Promenade des Berges de la Seine (2013), built on a former highway on the left bank of the Seine between the Pont de l'Alma and the Musxc3xa9e d'Orsay, has floating gardens and gives a view of the city's landmarks. | WIKI |
| During the Roman era, the city's main cemetery was located to the outskirts of the left bank settlement, but this changed with the rise of Catholic Christianity, where most every inner-city church had adjoining burial grounds for use by their parishes. | WIKI |
| With Paris's growth many of these, particularly the city's largest cemetery, the Holy Innocents' Cemetery, were filled to overflowing, creating quite unsanitary conditions for the capital. | WIKI |
| After a tentative creation of several smaller suburban cemeteries, the Prefect Nicholas Frochot under Napoleon Bonaparte provided a more definitive solution in the creation of three massive Parisian cemeteries outside the city limits. | WIKI |
| The Hxc3xb4tel-Dieu de Paris, the oldest hospital in the city | WIKI |
| One of the most notable hospitals is the Hxc3xb4tel-Dieu, founded in 651, the oldest hospital in the city,[336] although the current building is the product of a reconstruction of 1877. | WIKI |
| Radio France Internationale, another public broadcaster is also based in the city. | WIKI |
| Haussmannxe2x80x99s urban planning, which marks the western part of the city, inspired the construction of the great cities of the New World, in particular in Latin America. | UNESCO |
| Paris is a river city. | UNESCO |
| The present historic city, which developed between the 16th and 20th centuries, expresses the evolution of the relationship between the river and the city. | UNESCO |
| The xe2x80x9cCahier des prescriptions urbaines et paysagxc3xa8res pour la mise en valeur des Berges de la Seine dans Parisxe2x80x9d (Urban and Landscape Requirements for the Enhancement of the Banks of the Seine in Paris), prepared in 1999 by the city, the State and the autonomous Port, is the reference document for all activity and installations on the banks. | UNESCO |
