Europe Ecology – The Greens
Europe Ecology – The Greens (french: Europe Écologie Les Verts , EELV ) is a centre-left to left-wing green political party in France. The party is a member of the European Green Party. The party was formed on 13 November 2010 from the merger of The Greens and Europe Ecology. History Party foundation Following the 2008 municipal elections, The Greens sought to increase their political influence. Echoing these calls, Daniel Cohn-Bendit proposed the creation of open electoral lists for the 2009 European elections and the Greens' leadership allowed for the exploration of this possibility. Europe Ecology (EE), launched in the autumn of 2008, allowed The Greens to create a wider electoral alliance with environmentalists and social activists who had not been party members in the past. The new structure included, alongside longtime Green politicians, new activists or environmentalists such as Jean-Paul Besset (close to Nicolas Hulot), José Bové (alter-globalisation activist ...

Arrondissements Of Lyon
The nine arrondissements of Lyon are the administrative divisions of the City of Lyon. Unlike the spiral pattern of the arrondissements of Paris, or the meandering pattern of those in Marseille, the layout in Lyon is more idiosyncratic. This is for historical reasons: following the annexation of the communes of , La Croix-Rousse and Vaise in 1852, the newly enlarged city was divided into 5 arrondissements, which originally spiralled out anticlockwise from the ''Hôtel de Ville'' (Town Hall); however, as the city's population expanded, it became necessary to split certain arrondissements, giving rise to today's seemingly random pattern. History Arrondissements of Lyon in 1852 * 1st arrondissement: as today (Terreaux, Martinière/St-Vincent, Pentes de la Croix-Rousse) *2nd arrondissement: as today (Cordeliers, Bellecour, Ainay, Perrache, Confluent) *3rd arrondissement: former commune of La Guillotière (all of the Left Bank of the Rhône) *4th arrondissement: as today (former commu ...

Rue Duguesclin
The Rue Duguesclin (or Rue Du Guesclin) is a long street in Lyon crossing directly wholly the 6th and the 3rd arrondissement, and ends in the 7th arrondissement. This 2,800-meter street starts at the Boulevard des Belges and ends on the rue Rachais.

It took its current name in 1852 on its entire length. In 1854, the Avenue Vauban became part of the rue Duguesclin. The last section after the rue Moncey was created in 1865.
