The town hall of Paris or City of Paris employs 50,858 holders. It designates both administration and elected officials. Each month, elected officials sit on the Paris Council, where they deliberate to decide the future of the city: construction of crèches, college, name of streets, housing, subsidies to associations. This body is both a general council and a municipal council, since Paris has the distinction of being a city and a department.
