neither is correct
agglomeration of means a large collection of
so instead we say
either
Paris, an agglomeration of municipalities which may stand as a title of an article per se
or
the agglomeration of paris municipalities

The both are correct ..

But when you want to make it as a title , the first one is better ..

I think both sentences are correct, there is just a subtle difference that makes one phrase better than the other depending on the context:

eg.1 "Paris agglomeration municipalities have a dense population"

sounds better because the subject (municipalities) is close to the verb, which makes the phrase read straight.

eg.2. "the municipalities of Paris agglomeration"
is more suitable for a title because the emphasis is on the municipalities and not Paris or its agglomeration.
