Twinned with Paris
17 of 20 in this atlas
Paris maintains formal twinning ties with municipalities across several continents, from Beijing and Seoul in East Asia to Cairo, Chicago, Washington, and Mexico City, among others. Nearly all pairings in this atlas are mutual, with Kyiv standing out as the sole one-sided case, where Paris names Kyiv but the reverse acknowledgment is not recorded here.

1 of these do not list Paris back. Twinning is declared independently by each municipality, so one-sided pairs are common — and usually more interesting than the mutual ones.
