Paris

Paris is a unique département in France: it is entirely integrated with the city of Paris itself (the commune). Département de Paris (number 75) Region: Île-de-France (capital of Paris) 

Status: Paris is simultaneously a commune, a département, and an arrondissement. 

It is divided into 20 arrondissements (numbered 1st through 20th, spiraling from the center). 

Special feature: Since 2019/2020, Paris has had a special status as a collectivité à statut particulier (metropolitan collectivity). 

The old classic département has been largely abolished, but in practice it still functions largely as département 75. 

Paris is the political, cultural, economic, and tourist heart of France, with icons such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre-Dame, and the Seine. 

The true metropolis (Grand Paris), however, has over 13 million inhabitants throughout the entire agglomeration. 

In short: Paris = city + department in one, the smallest but most influential department in the country.
