The 7th arrondissement of Paris is one of the 20 arrondissements (administrative districts) of the capital city of France.

Situated on the Rive Gauche - the "Left," or Southern, bank of the River Seine, it contains a number of French national institutions, among them the French National Assembly and numerous government ministries. The 7th arrondissement is also a major tourist destination, being home to the Eiffel Tower and the Hôtel des Invalides, which is Napoléon's resting place.

[edit] Geography

The land area of the arrondissement is 4.088 km² (1.578 sq. miles, or 1,010 acres).

[edit] Demography

The 7th arrondissement attained its peak population in 1926 when it had 110,684 inhabitants. Because it is the location of so many French government bodies, this arrondissement has never been as densely populated as some of the others.^{[citation needed]} In 1999, the population was 56,985, while the arrondissement provided 76,212 jobs.

[edit] Immigration

Place of birth of residents of the 7th arrondissement in 1999
Born in Metropolitan France	Born outside Metropolitan France
78.3%	21.7%
	Born in Overseas France	Born in foreign countries with French citizenship at birth¹	EU-15 immigrants²	Non-EU-15 immigrants
	0.5%	4.9%	7.4%	8.9%

¹This group is made up largely of pieds-noirs from Northwest Africa, followed by former colonial citizens who had French citizenship at birth (such as was often the case for the native elite in French colonies), and to a lesser extent foreign-born children of French expatriates. Note that a foreign country is understood as a country not part of France as of 1999, so a person born for example in 1950 in Algeria, when Algeria was an integral part of France, is nonetheless listed as a person born in a foreign country in French statistics.
² An immigrant is a person born in a foreign country not having French citizenship at birth. Note that an immigrant may have acquired French citizenship since moving to France, but is still considered an immigrant in French statistics. On the other hand, persons born in France with foreign citizenship (the children of immigrants) are not listed as immigrants.
