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).
