The city was called Lutetia (more fully, Lutetia Parisiorum, "Lutetia of the Parisii"), during the first- to sixth-century Roman occupation, but during the reign of Julian the Apostate (361-363) the city was renamed as Paris.

The city limit sign is located on the border of the Bois de Boulogne park and the suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine very close to Porte Maillot.
