Lille Grand-Place, de nuit
France

La place du Général-de-Gaulle est un espace public urbain de la commune de Lille dans le département français du Nord.

La place est de type grand-place qui se caractérise par un aspect complètement minéral que l'on retrouve dans de nombreuses villes des anciens Pays-Bas.
Il s'agit de la place historique et principale de la ville.
Au XVIIe siècle, la construction de la bourse de commerce divise la place en Grand-Place et Petite-Place (actuelle place du Théâtre).
Après la libération de Lille durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, elle est renommée en hommage à Charles de Gaulle.
La place est localement appelée "Grand'Place" ou, plus rarement, "place de la Déesse".
Elle est bordée par divers bâtiments ; huit sont classés ou inscrits au titre des monuments historiques, parmi lesquels le Théâtre du Nord (ancienne Grande Garde) et la Vieille Bourse (ancienne bourse de commerce).
Au centre de la place, trône la colonne de la Déesse. Érigée en 1845, elle représente l'héroïsme des Lillois durant le siège de Lille en 1792.

La photo a été prise en janvier 2015, en début de soirée. Panorama réalisé en version HDR (enfuse).

More About France

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.Text by Steve Smith.
