The sixteen arrondissements and eight sectors of Marseille

Unlike Paris and Lyon, each municipal arrondissement of Marseille is not governed by an elected council (conseil d'arrondissement) and mayor. Instead, the city is divided into eight sectors, each grouping two arrondissements, with an elected council (conseil de secteur) and mayor.[1] The sectors return a number of councillors to the municipal council of Marseille, proportionally to their population, for city matters.
