Paris Map

This Paris map shows the 20 districts/suburbs of Paris, called arrondissements in French.

Each arrondissement has its own personality, its own quirks and neighbourhoods points of interest, some have ethnic flavours, others are more business-like.  You’ll be able to easily get to know Paris by looking at this Paris map.

The arrondissements are numbered from 75001 to 75020, and are shaped like a coil (or a snail shape) with 75001 in the centre of this Paris map, and the following number moving to the right, then under, up and over again.

When talking abouty the arrondissements you can call each suburb by the number, for example the ‘first’ – “I’m going to a restaurant in the first tonight.” People will understand this means the ‘first arrondissement‘.  In French this is written as – le 1ere – pronounced as le premier – translated to ‘the first’.

1er	The 1st arrondissement is the heart of Paris and where you’ll find the majority of tourists start exploring – on the Paris Map it’s in the centre.
