Explore the Paris districts (I)

In this exercise, we introduce a next dataset about Paris: the administrative districts of Paris (compiled from a Paris Data open dataset).

The dataset is available as a GeoPackage file, a specialised format to store geospatial vector data, and such a file can be read by GeoPandas using the geopandas.read_file() function.

To get a first idea of the dataset, we can inspect the first rows with head() and do a quick visualization with `plot(). The attribute information about the districts included in the dataset is the district name and the population (total number of inhabitants of each district).

Import GeoPandas.
Read the districts file ('paris_districts.gpkg') and assign it to a variable called districts.
Print the first 5 rows of the districts dataset. What kind of geometries do those datasets contain?
Make a quick visualization of districts.
