About Paris

Paris is the capital city of France, as well as the capital of the Île-de-France région, whose territory encompasses Paris and its suburbs. The city of Paris proper is also a département, called Paris département (French: département de Paris).

Paris, together with its suburbs and satellite cities, forms the Greater Paris metropolitan area, with a population estimated at 11.5 million as of January 2004, the second largest metropolitan area in Europe (after Moscow, and along with London), and approximately the 20th most populous metropolitan area in the world.

The original Latin name of Paris was Lutetia or Lutetia Parisiorum, known in French as Lutèce. Lutetia was later dropped in favor of only Paris, based on the name of the Gallic Parisi tribe, whose name perhaps comes from the Celtic Gallic word parios, meaning "caldron", but this is not certain.

Traditionally Paris was known as Paname in French slang, but this vulgar appellation is gradually losing currency. ("I'm from Paname")

The inhabitants of Paris are known as Parisians in English, as Parisiens in French. The pejorative term Parigot is sometimes used in French slang.

Locally, inhabitants of the Paris suburbs are known as banlieusards. Inhabitants of the whole Paris metropolitan area are known as Franciliens, i.e. from Île-de-France.

Temperatures of Paris
The coldest temperature ever recorded in Paris since meteorological records started in 1873 was on December 10, 1879 when the temperature went down to –23.9 °C (–11.0 °F) in the city proper, and –25.6 °C (–14.1 °F) in the southeastern suburb of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés.

The hottest temperature was recorded on July 28, 1947 when the temperature in the city proper (Parc Montsouris) reached 40.4 °C (104.7 °F). During the deadly European heat wave of 2003, the temperature in central Paris (Parc Montsouris) "only" reached 38.1 °C (100.6 °F) during the day, while reaching 40.2 °C (104.4 °F) at Le Bourget Airport in the northern suburbs, but the lowest temperature at night on August 11 and August 12, 2003 was 25.5 °C (77.9 °F) in the Parc Montsouris, which is the hottest minimum temperature at night ever registered in Paris, causing the death of many elderly people whose body temperature could not cool down.

Learning French in the UK

People moving from the UK to France are soon to be obligated to learn the French language. The Institut francais is the official French government centre of language and culture.

About Paris - Healthcare

There are two main types of providers available to expatriates - the mutuelles and the commercial insurers. There are differences that go beyond the simple fact that one is non-profit making. But because mutuelles are non-profit making does not mean that premiums are necessarily lower.
