17e

17e is a typographic shorthand used in French to indicate the seventeenth in enumerations and ordinals. It is written after the numeral as 17e, often with a superscript e in formal typesetting. The suffix signals the ordinal nature of the form, corresponding to dix-septième in full and used across a range of contexts, including place names, publications, and historical references.

One well-known use is as the designation of the seventeenth arrondissement of Paris. Referred to in French as le dix-septième arrondissement or simply le 17e, it lies on the right bank in the northwestern part of the city and includes neighborhoods such as Batignolles, Monceau, and Ternes. Landmarks associated with the 17e include Parc Monceau and the Palais des Congrès de Paris.

In broader use, 17e appears as the shorthand for the seventeenth item in a list, the 17e édition of an event or publication, and the XVIIe siècle in historical writing for the 17th century. This pattern—Roman numerals for centuries followed by the superscript e—is common in French-language sources.
