What is paris a country or city

In the vast tapestry of global destinations, Paris often sparks a unique question: Is it a country or a city?

Paris is the capital city of France. It is not a country !

The city is a commune and department, and the heart of the 12,012-square-kilometre (4,638-square-mile) Île-de-France region (colloquially known as the ‘Paris Region’).  It is home for 2.1 million people.
