Paris is the capital of France and formerly the main stronghold of Chimeran occupied Western Europe.
History
After France fell to the Chimera, Paris was heavily occupied by the invaders. During the two year occupation, the city became drastically juxtaposed with Chimeran architectures along with the excavation of a Chimeran hub tower (dubbed the Paris Tower) from within the city and the establishment of a unique conversion center known as the Chrysalis Lair which looms over the city's iconic monument, the Eiffel Tower. The city's surroundings was put into a static winter environment just as similar to Chimera-controlled London, to suit the Chimera's ideal environment.
On September 6, 1951, British and Maquis forces under the command of Major Stephen Cartwright launched an assault on Paris in Operation Overstrike.[1] The Allied forces successfully destroyed the Paris Tower, which caused a chain reaction that destroyed the Chimeran tower network in Western Europe. In conjunction to the tower's destruction, Maquis mercenary James Grayson infiltrated the Chrysalis Lair and unleashed a serum that eradicated the Carrier strain, which temporarily disrupted the Chimeran conversion process.[1]
