Which French city is the setting of Assassin's Creed Unity?

The story behind the answer

Paris is the setting of Assassin's Creed Unity.

Ubisoft's 2014 game takes place in Paris during the French Revolution, beginning in 1789. Players follow Arno Dorian, a young Assassin who becomes involved in political upheaval and a personal investigation after the death of his adoptive father.

The game recreates recognizable locations and monuments, including Notre-Dame de Paris, the Palace of Versailles, and the Tuileries Garden. Its city design emphasizes dense crowds, climbable architecture, and interiors, while cooperative missions allow multiple players to work together.

Paris is not the same setting as the London of Assassin's Creed Syndicate or the revolutionary Boston of Assassin's Creed III. Unity's historical period is also distinct from the later Napoleonic era, even though Napoleon Bonaparte appears as a character during the story.
