1st arrondissement of Paris, Central administrative district in Paris, France.

The 1st arrondissement spans 1.83 square kilometers on the right bank of the Seine River, including a section of Île de la Cité.

The district emerged from the 1795 division of Paris into twelve arrondissements, later becoming part of the twenty districts after the 1860 reorganization.

The Palais Royal houses the Constitutional Council and State Council, making this district a center for French administrative justice and government institutions.

The area contains numerous metro stations, the Forum des Halles shopping center, and accommodates over 60,000 jobs within its commercial establishments.

Each of its four quarters - Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois, Les Halles, Palais-Royal, and Place Vendôme - maintains specific administrative functions within Paris.
