Seine-Saint-Denis (
French pronunciation: [sɛn sɛ̃ d(ə)ni]) is a French department located in the
Île-de-France region. Locally, it is often referred to colloquially as
quatre-vingt treize or
neuf trois (i.e. „ninety-three" or „nine three"), after its official administrative number, 93.
The learned and rarely used demonym for the inhabitants is Séquano-Dionysiens; more common is Dionysiens.
Geography
Seine-Saint-Denis is located to the northeast of Paris. It has a surface area of only 236 km², making it one of the smallest departments in France. Seine-Saint-Denis and two other small departments,
Hauts-de-Seine and
Val-de-Marne, form a ring around Paris, known as the
Petite Couronne ("little crown"). Since 1 January 2016, together with Paris, they form the area of Greater Paris.
Administration
Seine-Saint-Denis is made up of three departmental
arrondissements and 40 communes:
History
Seine-Saint-Denis was created in January 1968, through the implementation of a law passed in July 1964. It was formed from the part of the (hitherto larger) Seine department to the north and north-east of the Paris ring road (and the line of the old city walls), together with a small slice taken from
Seine-et-Oise.
