Today, I am bringing you an informative post. Here in Paris, we have 20 districts or arrondissements. Each one of them has its mayor.
Although, there are 20 mayors based on the number of district in Paris, there is one mayor in charge of the entire city of Paris. She was elected to run the city and work from the main City Hall building called “Hotel de Ville” located in Paris’ 4th district.
Each local city hall is responsible to provide some services to Parisians. Although, it is recommended to go to the one in the district you live in, however, due to long lines/waiting time to get an appointment at some, we are allowed to go to any one of our chosing.
If you plan on moving to Paris for short or long term, that info will come in handy at one point in time. Below I will let you know about the kind of services provided by each local city hall in Paris. They are as follow:
✓mariage
✓mariage certificate
✓registering the birth/adoption of a child
✓registering for school/school lunch
✓ French National ID card
✓Passport
✓info regarding social/financial aid
✓Legal help
✓ City housing
✓funerals
✓ help with taxes
✓sports
✓vacation for kids from low income families and the list goes on… If you would like to know more about the services provided, hit me up in the section comment down below!
