Cape Cod (or simply the Cape) is an arm-shaped peninsula nearly coextensive with Barnstable County, Massachusetts and forming the easternmost portion of the state of Massachusetts, in the Northeastern United States.
Cape Cod was a landmark for early explorers, possibly the "Promontory of Vinland" mentioned by the Norse voyagers (985-1025).
Cape Cod is connected to the mainland by a pair of canal-spanning highway bridges from Bourne and Sagamore that were constructed in the 1930s, and a vertical-lift railroad bridge.

And since the French city is the main Paris, we'd actually put the article on Paris alone, with a disambiguation block, not on Paris (France) itself, which is not needed as an example to anybody.
Redirects are for more or less backwards compatibility and convenience and the disambiguation block format at the top of articles is minimally obtrusive and doesn't force those that are lost to go to the end of the article.
The important point is disambiguation, not consistency, so we should just use whatever disambiguating feature is most natural in the context, whether nation, province or county.

It was a Cape Verde-type hurricane that reached Category 5 strength at its peak, and early in its path reached unprecedented intensity at low latitudes—Category 4 at only 10.6° N. After briefly being downgraded to Category 3 intensity, Ivan struck Grenada directly on mid-day September 7 with Category 3 winds.

Nevertheless, on the morning of September 21, some of its remnants combined with a low-pressure system to pelt Cape Breton Island of Nova Scotia, Canada with hurricane-force winds, flooding some roads, felling trees, and leaving thousands without power.
