== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} French battleship {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "La Royale"]].

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Armour}}

''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.''

=== Mobility ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Mobility}}

''Write about the ship's mobility. Evaluate its power and manoeuvrability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward and reverse speed.''

{{main|305 mm/45 model 1906-10 (305 mm)}}

''Provide information about the characteristics of the primary armament. Evaluate their efficacy in battle based on their reload speed, ballistics and the capacity of their shells. Add a link to the main article about the weapon: <code><nowiki>{{main|Weapon name (calibre)}}</nowiki></code>. Broadly describe the ammunition available for the primary armament, and provide recommendations on how to use it and which ammunition to choose.''

=== Secondary armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Secondary}}

{{main|138.6 mm/55 model 1910 (138.6 mm)}}

''Some ships are fitted with weapons of various calibres. Secondary armaments are defined as weapons chosen with the control <code>Select secondary weapon</code>. Evaluate the secondary armaments and give advice on how to use them. Describe the ammunition available for the secondary armament. Provide recommendations on how to use them and which ammunition to choose. Remember that any anti-air armament, even heavy calibre weapons, belong in the next section. If there is no secondary armament, remove this section.''

=== Anti-aircraft armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-AA}}

{{main|75 mm/50 model 1922 (75 mm)|Model 1929 Hotchkiss (13.2 mm)}}

''An important part of the ship's armament responsible for air defence. Anti-aircraft armament is defined by the weapon chosen with the control <code>Select anti-aircraft weapons</code>. Talk about the ship's anti-air cannons and machine guns, the number of guns and their positions, their effective range, and about their overall effectiveness – including against surface targets. If there are no anti-aircraft armaments, remove this section.''

== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don't try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===

''Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".''

== History ==

''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the ship and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>. This section may also include the ship's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under <code><nowiki>=== In-game description ===</nowiki></code>, also if applicable).''

''Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.''

 Battleship '''Paris''' was the third of the [[Courbet (Family)|Courbet class]], a third dreadnought launched for the French Navy in September 1912. She spent World War One assisting the army of the Montenegro with shore bombardments and blockading the Strait of Otranto. Following the end of the war she assisted Spanish forces in Morocco during the French intervention in the Rif War. In 1931, she became a training ship and underwent two modernisations before the beginning of the Second World War. With the outbreak of the war she was transferred to the Atlantic, and, following the German invasion, she assisted the French forces at the Somme river front. She then moved to defend the port of Le Havre in Normandy from Luftwaffe attacks until she was hit by a bomb on 11 June 1940. She moved under her own power to Brest, but as the French surrender neared, she sailed to Plymouth in the UK with 2,800 men onboard. Until the end of the war she served as a depot ship for the British navy and as a barracks ship for the Polish navy. In August 1945 she was towed into Brest where she continued her service as a depot ship until her scrapping in 1956.
-The Paris was introduced in [[Update "La Royale"]]. Compared to the direct counterparts, she has a better damage output in exchange for a somewhat worse armour protection. Her biggest highlight is the damage output of the AP shells, of those shells manage to penetrate the target. She's best used in a typical role for a World War One-origin battleships: pushing the capture points and fighting with her direct counterparts.

+Paris is best used much in the same way other BR 6.3 battleships are - to push the capture points and eliminate counterparts or heavy cruisers. Due to the inadequate penetration of the AP shells it will struggle against the battleships in the higher BRs, thus they are best avoided. A decent number of the anti-air guns can provide a great protection against torpedo boats, while the SAP-equipped casemate guns are relatively good at countering enemy destroyers. Still, the vessel at its core is still a World War One-era battleship, making it vulnerable to enemy airplanes and concentrated enemy fire.
