SECTION  B  SETTLEMENT      Source 1.1 Background to Paris Paris is the capital and most populated city of France. It is situated on the flat land next to the river Seine, in the north of the country, at the heart of the Île-de-France region.

An important settlement for more than two millennia, Paris had become, by the 12th century, one of Europe's foremost centres of learning and the arts and was the largest city in the Western world until the turn of the 18th century. Paris is today one of the world's leading business and cultural centres and its influences in politics, education, entertainment, media, science, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities.
