Arrondissement (230 words)
On January 1, 1860, new territory was defined to be within the city, and the previous 12 arrondissements were rearranged with the new territory to become the present 20.
The arrangement is in the form of a clockwise spiral, starting with the 1st arrondissement in the middle of the city on the right bank (north bank) of the Seine River.
Arrondissement is also the name of the subdivisions of the French départements (but the word is barely used in this meaning).
