Clovis (; reconstructed Old Frankish, Frankish: ; – 27 November 511) was the first List of Frankish kings, king of the Franks to unite all of the Franks under one ruler, changing the form of leadership from a group of petty kings to rule by a single king, and ensuring that the kingship was passed down to his heirs. He is considered to have been the founder of the Merovingian dynasty, which ruled the Frankish kingdom for the next two centuries. Clovis is important in the historiography of France as "the first king of what would become France."

Origin So as not to be dependent on the Chemin de fer de l'État (State Railways) for its rail transport, the City of Paris decided in 1883 on the construction of a rapid transit, subway network. There were some tensions between the national government and the city for the control of the operation, but the approach of the Exposition Universelle (1900), World Fair of 1900 speeded the decisions.

In 1897 the city council chose the General Traction Company, owned by the Belgian Baron Édouard Louis Joseph Empai ...

Villejuif – Louis Aragon (Paris Métro)
Villejuif () is a commune in the southern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located from the centre of Paris. Name The earliest reference to Villejuif appears in a bill signed by the Pope Callixtus II on 27 November 1119. It refers to Villa Judea, the Latinized version of the Old French expression meaning 'Jewish settlement'. During the following centuries, the toponym appears as Villejuifve, that is, following the archaic French spelling of the expression with the same meaning, cognate to modern French Villejuive. The French author from the 17th century Louis Moréri indicates that the settlement was founded by Jews expelled from Paris. This idea, however, remains speculative as available medieval Christian and Jewish sources do not mention the existence of the Jewish community in this place. An alternative explanation is that the name is a corruption of some earlier, similar-sounding name. History The Hôtel de Ville, which was established as a seminary, dates back to 160 ...
