Arrondisements refers to the municipal administrative district of certain large cities in France. Paris is divided into 20 arrondissements municipaux (which roughly means “municipal boroughs”). In simpler term, it is referred to as arrondissements. When the word “arrondisement,” is used in relation to Paris, it refers mostly to the municipal arrondissements. It should not, however, be confused with departmental arrondisements, which subdivide the 100 French departments. In Parisian postal codes (75001 up to 75020), the last two digits indicates the number of the arrondissement.
