Council of Paris
The Council of Paris (French: Conseil de Paris) is the deliberative body responsible for governing Paris, the capital of France. It possesses both the powers of a municipal council (conseil municipal) and those of a departmental council (conseil départemental) for the département de Paris, as defined by the so-called PLM Law (Loi PLM) of 1982 that redefined the governance of Paris, Lyon and Marseille (hence the PLM acronym). Paris is the only territorial collectivity in France to be both a commune and a département.
