But also because earlier, in the 18th century, Paris was a essentially a hub during the Age of Enlightenment.
NOISY-LE-SEC, UNE VILLE JEUNE ET DYNAMIQUE, AUX PORTES DE PARIS.
So literally light, with enlightened minds. a warning?From Wikipedia--take it for what it's worth to you:-:- Message from Tripadvisor staff -:-Can anyone shed any light as to which one of these statements is officially the correct one? Two reasons. Designer Mensuelle. were "des lumieres" we don't mean that they were lighting fixtures...I had a (former) manager who read a famous religious book literally, not aware at all that the modern version in Englih was the result of multiple translations between several languages, without any references to cultural/ historical bckground. First, it was among the first European cities to use gas street lamps back in the 1860s, making it literally a City of Light (see pic below). The real reason for the city’s name actually stems from the mid-17th century, when Louis XIV, otherwise known as Louis the Great (Louis le Grand) or the Sun King (Roi Soleil), was on the throne. Why is Paris called the City of Light? The city is especially well illuminated during the festive season, when over 2.4km of lights stretch from the Place de la Concorde right down to the Arc de Triomphe. It’s made even brighter with its 450 decorated trees along the avenue and on the pavement. After a prolonged period of war and domestic civil strife, the king was committed to restoring the public’s faith in law and order.Today, there are over 296 illuminated sites in Paris, if you count everything from hotels and churches, statues and fountains, national buildings and monuments, and out of 37 major bridges in Paris, an impressive 33 of them are illuminated to full glory each sunset.From the late 18th century to the 19th century, the city of Paris became increasingly known as a centre of education and ideas throughout the whole of Europe, inspiring poets, philosophers, engineers and scientists galore. (Consistent with the prior two posts, Downie explains that the term “ville lumière" attempts to capture an idea much closer to “City of Light” than “City of Lights.”)Might take a bit of wading through if your French is rusty but it's worth the effort IMO...The term "ville lumière" is actually meant to mean "city of enlightenment" in terms of culture and learning and has nothing to do with the street lighting.The term is "city of light" (translated from a French expression) and its only meaning is city of enlightement, nothing to do lights.You often hear both nicknames mentioned, but it's really driving me mad trying to find out the answer to actual translation (I'm rubbish at French, so guess it's something to do with the language interpritation)!With all this talk of the "City of Lights", I hope I will be forgiven a bit of patrochialism here with this link:Here is a link to an online virtual exhibition on the subject of "Le siècle des Lumières" by the BnF (French national library).This topic has been closed to new posts due to inactivity.
Paris (French pronunciation: ()) is the capital and most populous city of France, with an estimated population of 2,150,271 residents as of 2020, in an area of 105 square kilometres (41 square miles). From Wikipedia--take it for what it's worth to you: " Paris has many nicknames, but its most famous is "La Ville-Lumière" (literally, "The Light City"; although most often translated as "The City of Lights" or as "The City of Light"), a name it owes both to its fame as a centre of education and ideas and its early adoption of street lighting." Why is Paris so popular? We hope you'll join the conversation by posting to an open topic or starting a new one.Think about translating in French "Mr. X is a big cheese in his hometown"We remove posts that do not follow our posting guidelines, and we reserve the right to remove any post for any reason. Not to mention honest mistakes made when the translators, many centuries ago, couldn' t decipher the handwriting..By the way what do you thing of "going rogue"?
