The 17th arrondissement of Paris is one of the 20 arrondissements (administrative districts) of the capital city of France.
Situated on the right bank of the River Seine, this arrondissement hosts three very active areas: in the northern part, the working-class area around the place de Clichy is an extension of the Pigalle red-light district; in the southern part, the upper-class area around the avenue des Ternes, where the Marché Poncelet is located, is more Haussmannian in style. Wedged in between these two is the former village of Batignolles.
The Mairie (Town Hall) of the 17th arrondissement is on Rue de Batignolles. It is the only Mairie of Paris to be located in a modern building. the original building was torn down in 1971 to make room for the current edifice. [1] The 17th arrondissement also hosts the Palais des Congrès of Paris, which is a large exhibition center with a skyscraper hotel, the Concorde Lafayette.
[edit] Geography

¹This group is made up largely of pieds-noirs from Northwest Africa, followed by former colonial citizens who had French citizenship at birth (such as was often the case for the native elite in French colonies), and to a lesser extent foreign-born children of French expatriates. Note that a foreign country is understood as a country not part of France as of 1999, so a person born for example in 1950 in Algeria, when Algeria was an integral part of France, is nonetheless listed as a person born in a foreign country in French statistics.
² An immigrant is a person born in a foreign country not having French citizenship at birth. Note that an immigrant may have acquired French citizenship since moving to France, but is still considered an immigrant in French statistics. On the other hand, persons born in France with foreign citizenship (the children of immigrants) are not listed as immigrants. |
