What are the 5 themes of georaphy for paris?

Location: In northern France, at the heart of the 脦le-de-France region

Place: River city that originated on two large islands in the Seine.

Human/Environmental Interaction: Paris was first settled on the Ile de la Cite in the Seine. The position in a river provided a margin of safety for the inhabitants. Overtime the city has spread to the adjoining banks.

Movement: Paris is the center of the French rail net and therefore the rail net of western Europe. The Seine is navigable to its mouth on the Atlantic. The Paris economy is largely dominated by services, but remains an important manufacturing powerhouse of Europe, especially in industrial sectors such as automobiles, aeronautics, and electronics.

Regions: The Paris region extends well beyond the city limits, forming an irregular oval with arms of urban growth extending along the Seine and Marne rivers from the city's south-east and east, and along the Seine and Oise rivers to the city's north-west and north.
