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