Draft:Prefect of Paris

The Prefect of Paris, formerly the Prefect of the Seine, is the prefect of the department of the Seine, then of the department of Paris, when the latter was created in 1968 following the reorganization of the Paris region in 1964.

Since the creation of the Île-de-France region in 1977, he has been simultaneously regional prefect. He should not be confused with the prefect of police, responsible for the Paris police headquarters. The exceptional strategic character of Paris, the largest city in the country, a world metropolis, both political and economic capital, a face that France wishes to show to the world, has always justified the establishment of special administrative relations with the central State. Unlike certain regional prefects, he is not prefect of the defense and security zone of Île-de-France, a position assigned to the Paris police prefect.

List of prefects
This section lists, in chronological order, the senior officials who have held the position of prefect of Paris, since the reorganization of the Paris region which made the city of Paris a department as of January 1, 1968.

Certain prefects of the Île-de-France region and prefects of Paris were, in addition, interministerial delegates to the Euro Disneyland project in France.
