The underlying terrain in Paris is that of a river basin; a saucer with a few lumps in it. Originally, the lower ground, especially North of the river, was essentially marshy (one quarter is still called 'le Marais'). The town grew up between the islands (where the river crossing was the reason for the place's existence) and the most prominent of the hills to the South.
