<div id="ygrps-yiv-1610018127">The city of Paris (which is a departement in it&#39;s own right) owns the source of the river Seine. It<br/>
was bought in the 19th century. I wonder whether it&#39;s only a question of property, or that this tiny<br/>
spot is actually a part of the departement Ville de Paris (used to be called &#39;Seine&#39;, which explains<br/>
the departemental number 75, alphabetically wedged in between Savoie (Haute) and Seine-Maritime). In<br/>
that case, it is yet another departemental enclave in France (apart from the five Arif mentions on<br/>
his web site). If not, it is still a nice oddity. Does it ressort under the Parisian public gardens<br/>
service? A long trip for mowing the lawn.<br/>
