France’s capital and largest city, Paris is home to about 2.04 million people within its compact 105.4-square-kilometre area. The city stretches along the Seine in the heart of Île-de-France, while its wider metropolitan area reaches 13.3 million residents and ranks as the largest in the region. Known as the “City of Light,” Paris earned the nickname through its influential role in the Age of Enlightenment.
