Paris is the capital and largest city of France. The River Seine divides the city into two parts: the right bank to the north and the smaller left bank in the south. It is surrounded by a large orbital motorway, the Peripherique. The city is divided into twenty numerically organised districts, the arrondissements. It was named after the Gallic Parisii tribe.

Paris is served by two principal airports: Orly and Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle.
