The Arrondissements by Pieter11
The city of Paris may look enormous and chaotic, but there really is a lot of structure to be found. The easiest way to find your position always is to look for the Eiffel Tower, but it can also be useful to pay attention to the so called ?arrondissements?. These arrondissements (litterly: go-aroundings) have number from 1-20, that are visible on every nameplate of the streets in Paris. The structure starts at the Louvre with the 1st arrondissement. From there the number go round and round like a snail, ending with the 20th arrondissement in the neighbourhood of Père Lachaise. The arrondissements only divide the area inside the major ringway around Paris, the Periferique. Every arrondissement also is divided in four quarters. So Paris has 80 quarters in total inside its Periferique.
