Is Paris called the "City of Light" or "City of Lights"? |
Travel Info Is Paris called the "City of Light" or "City of Lights"? Travel Tips City of Light is the direct translation for Ville lumi猫re, but both are still in use. Why a city of light(s)? Many hypothesis. One common comes from the predominant role the city had during the enlightenment age, shedding "light" (knowledge and culture) around the planet. A second one comes from the work done in the XIXth century to transform the overcrowded and dirty city in a "luminous" one. The largest construction project of Paris' history was then undertaken to alleviate these problems. Some other hypothesis are plausible, but I think its enough for the French history course for tonight. Others "City of Lights" the ""City of Light" City of Lights city of lights - diamonds and rubies cos when you stand at the end of the Champs Elysees the headlights of the cars look like diamonds and the tail lights look like rubies They city of rude City of Lights ... they like to thing they are enlightened ... but they're just mostly as..oles |
