'''''The Real World: Paris''''' is the thirteenth season of [[MTV]]'s [[reality television]] series ''[[The Real World (TV series)|The Real World]]'', which focuses on a group of diverse strangers living together for several months in a different city each season, as cameras follow their lives and interpersonal relationships. It is the only season to be filmed in France.

The season featured seven people living in a four-story [[château]] and is the second of four seasons of ''The Real World'' to be filmed entirely outside of the United States after ''[[The Real World: London]]'' in 1995, and before ''[[The Real World: Sydney]]'' in 2007, and ''[[The Real World: Cancun]]'' in 2009.

The season was filmed over 120 days from January 19 to May 18, 2003.<ref>[http://www.realworldhouses.com/realworld13.html "Villa Bianca"]. Real World Houses. July 16, 2012</ref> The season premiered on June 3 of that year and consisted of 25 episodes.

==Assignment==
Almost every season of ''The Real World'', beginning with its [[The Real World: Miami|fifth season]], has included the assignment of a season-long group job or task to the housemates, continued participation in which has been mandatory to remain part of the cast since the [[Back to New York|tenth season]]. The [[Paris]] cast was assigned to write reviews for ''[[Frommer's]]'', reviewing various Paris bars, clubs and other attractions. A weekly bonus would be given to the housemates if they all completed their weekly assignments, which they rarely did. In fact, two of the castmates, Chris "C.T." Tamburello and Leah Gillingwater, were caught submitting fake reviews.{{episode needed|date=June 2013}}

==The residence==
The four-story {{convert|5382|sqft|m2|adj=on}} [[Château]] was built in 1869, and is located in [[Le Vésinet]], a commune of France in the western suburbs of Paris, France. It is located {{convert|10.2|mi|km}} from the center of Paris. Le Vésinet is one of the wealthiest suburbs of Paris, known for its wooded avenues and bourgeois mansions built around boating lakes and English-Style gardens. In some of the rooms of the Château, fake walls were built to protect 18 [[Carat (unit)|carat]] gilding on the original surfaces. The Château includes a wine cellar.<ref>[http://www.realworldhouses.com/realworld13.html "Paris Château"]. Real World Houses. Retrieved December 26, 2011.</ref>
