“Le Printemps is one of the big department stores of Paris, located in the 9th arrondissement on boulevard Haussmann.”

“This anonymous, seedy stretch of the 10th arrondissement does not yet feature on the tourist track.”

“The administration of the governmental system is organized through the levels of nation, region, department, arrondissement, canton, and commune.”

“It is divided into departments that are subdivided into arrondissements, communes, commune sectionals, and habitations.”

“But eventually, as the full moon rose over the eastern arrondissements, it was time to head back to the Gare du Nord for my return journey.”

“These regions are further subdivided into arrondissements, then into communes or townships.”
