Paris - Origins.
The region around Paris was settled from about 250 BC, by the Celtic Parisii who were known as boatmen and traders. They established a settlement by the River Seine to control river commerce. There is dispute about the exact location of the settlement, traditionally assumed to be on the Île de la Cité, but now placed by many historians near Gare d'Austerlitz. Rome conquered the region in 52 BC and built the city of Lutetia on the Left Bank Sainte Geneviève Hill as this area was protecte ...

Paris - Origins.
The area of Paris was settled by the Celtic Parisii from around 250 BC. These people, known as boatmen and traders, established their settlement at the Île de la Cité, a convenient river crossing and platform to control commerce all along the river, although there are now doubts among historians as to the exact location of their settlement.
Roman armies conquered the region in 52 BC and chose the lands away from the floods of the river atop the Left Bank Sainte Geneviève Hill for their ...

| | | | Paris: Encyclopedia II - Paris mythology - Paris in the arts There is an icon showing Paris presenting an apple to (one of) the goddesses Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera. This icon is most commonly interpreted as the "Judgment of Paris," the assumption being that he is deciding which of the three is the most beautiful.
Ovid presents us with a seductive letter from Paris to Helen [1].
In the Divine Comedy Dante sees the soul of Paris in the second circle of Hell, being tossed around eternally by a fierce wind, along wi ...

| | | | Paris: Encyclopedia II - Paris mythology - The Judgement of Paris The goddesses Hera, Athena and Aphrodite had been invited along with the rest of Mount Olympus to the forced wedding of Peleus and Thetis, who would become the parents of Achilles, but Eris (the goddess of strife) had been snubbed because of her troublemaking inclinations. Eris therefore tossed into the party a golden apple inscribed with the word "Kallistei" -- "For the most beautiful one" -- provoking the goddesses to begin quarreling about the appropriate recipient. Paris was appointed to select the most beautiful and, escorted by Hermes, ...

| | | | Paris: Encyclopedia II - History of Paris - Paris at War Paris' party continued virtually until the eve of the outbreak of the First World War on 2 August 1914. Like other French cities, Paris initially welcomed the war as an opportunity to gain revenge for the defeat of 1870. Within a month, however, the city was full of refugees and the Germans were just 15 miles from the city. The government was evacuated to Bordeaux in the expectation that Paris would again fall to German forces.
The city was saved, however, by a desperate French effort to reinforce their lines and by a German failure t ...

| | | | Paris: Encyclopedia II - History of Paris - Modern Paris After the restoration of civilian rule and the proclamation of the Fourth Republic in 1946, Paris made a rapid recovery from the war, aided by its lack of much physical damage. Like the rest of France, however, it was caught up in the bloody but unsuccessful wars against nationalist guerrillas in French Indochina and Algeria in the 1950s and 1960s. During the Algerian war of independence, independentists detonated bombs in Paris. Tensions were high, and led to the largest abuse in the city's postwar history, when the Paris police, told wrong ...

| | | | Paris: Encyclopedia II - History of Paris - Ancient Paris The area of modern Paris has been inhabited since at least the fourth millennium BC, although little is known about these early inhabitants. The first known permanent settlement on the site was founded about 250 BC by a Celtic tribe called the Parisii, who established a fishing village on the Seine island that was later to become the Ile de la Cité. This was known as Lutetia, a name first recorded by Julius Caesar in his Gallic Wars.
Lutetia was a prosperous place and occupied a very strategic position on the river, controllin ...

History of Paris - The Capetians.
The French Crown initially controlled little more than Paris and the surrounding region, the Île-de-France, but over the centuries steadily expanded its territory and power. Paris itself developed an increasing degree of importance as a royal capital, a centre of learning and an ecclesiastical centre.
As early as the 12th century, the distinctive character of the city's districts was emerging. The Île de la Cité, on which the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris was built i ...

| | | | Paris: Encyclopedia II - History of Paris - Paris in the 19th century Under Napoleon's rule, Paris became the capital of an empire and military superpower. He crowned himself Emperor in a ceremony held in Notre-Dame on 18 May 1804. Like his royal predecessors, he saw Paris as a "new Rome" and set about building public monuments befitting the capital of an empire. Some of these were conscious copies of great Roman buildings, such as the Église de la Madeleine.
Napoleon's military campaigns against the British, Austrians and Russians initially met with great success but hubris, overconfidence and poor pl ...

History of Paris - The Bourbons.
Henri III had nominated Henri of Navarre, a Protestant, as his heir. The new king, Henri IV, converted to Catholicism in 1594 with the declaration that "Paris is well worth a mass," thus convincing the Parisians to accept him as their king. He undertook a number of major public works in the city but faced constant danger from religious fanatics on both sides, particularly after granting religious tolerance to Protestants under the Edict of Nantes. After surviving at least 23 assassination attempt ...
