Paris FC have since however to return to the top-flight league of France. In 1983, Paris FC, then led by the industrialist Jean-Luc Lagardère, merged with Racing Club de France. While Racing remained in the inaugural division, the remaining entity that was PFC was administratively relegated to the fourth division. Due to having restrict resources, Paris fell to the Division d’Honneur after one temper and, subsequently, spent four seasons in the fifth part before returning to Division 4 in 1988.
