French People
The French people (french: Français) are an ethnic group and nation primarily located in Western Europe that share a common French culture, history, and language, identified with the country of France. The French people, especially the native speakers of langues d'oïl from northern and central France, are primarily the descendants of Gauls (including the Belgae) and Romans (or Gallo-Romans, western European Celtic and Italic peoples), as well as Germanic peoples such as the Franks, the Visigoths, the Suebi and the Burgundians who settled in Gaul from east of the Rhine after the fall of the Roman Empire, as well as various later waves of lower-level irregular migration that have continued to the present day. The Norse also settled in Normandy in the 10th century and contributed significantly to the ancestry of the Normans. Furthermore, regional ethnic minorities also exist within France that have distinct lineages, languages and cultures such as Bretons in Brittany, Occi ...

Sainte-Jeanne-de-Chantal (Paris)
Sainte-Jeanne-de-Chantal () is a Catholic church in Paris built of concrete in Byzantine style with a large dome. It was constructed between 1932 and 1956. History The ''Église Sainte-Jeanne-de-Chantal'' is located on the grounds of some old fortifications. The population of the Paris neighborhood of the ''Porte de Saint-Cloud'' was growing fast in the 1920s, and a new church was needed. A Parisian woman from the area made a significant donation to help with the construction before she entered the convent of the Order of the Visitation, founded by François de Sales and Jeanne de Chantal. The architect Julien Barbier (1869–1939) was made responsible for the construction. The first stone was laid in 1932. The ''Église Sainte-Jeanne-de-Chantal'' was near to the Renault factories, and was bombed by the allies during World War II (1939–45). After the liberation of Paris construction resumed as part of the ''Chantiers du Cardinal'' program. Some changes were made to the desi ...

Gentilly, Val-de-Marne
Gentilly () is a commune in the southern suburbs of Paris, France. It is the closest commune to Paris, located from the city center. Name The name Gentilly was recorded for the first time in the 6th century as ''Gentilly'', a royal estate of some importance where coinage was minted. The etymology of the name seems to be "estate of Gentilius", a Gallo-Roman landowner. However, some other researchers think that the name is connected with Latin ''gentilis'' (meaning "gentile", "pagan", "foreigner") in reference to foreign goldsmiths who may have settled in Gentilly in the Early Middle Ages. History On 1 January 1860, the city of Paris was enlarged by annexing neighboring communes. On that occasion, about half of the commune of Gentilly was annexed to Paris, and forms now the neighborhoods of Maison-Blanche and Glacière, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. On 13 December 1896, about half of the remaining territory of Gentilly was detached and became the commune of Le Kremlin-Bi ...

La Garenne-Colombes
La Garenne-Colombes () is a commune in the northwestern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located from Notre Dame de Paris which is the center of Paris. It is one of the most densely populated municipalities in Europe. Name The city used to be part of the neighbouring city of Colombes. At this time, before 1910, it was called "La Garenne de Colombes," which means "Colombes' Garenne." "Garenne" is French for "warren." So the English for "La Garenne-Colombes" could be "Colombes' warren" or "Warren of Colombes"; yet to speakers of all languages the name of the city is officially "La Garenne-Colombes." The explanation for the city being called "warren" is that it used to be a warren where people would hunt. But this dates back to the French monarchy, in the 18th century and before. Geography La Garenne-Colombes is usually simply called "La Garenne", and nicknamed "petit Neuilly". Surroundings Four towns surround La Garenne-Colombes: Colombes (North), Bois-Colombes (East), Courbevoie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
