The History of Paris: Every Year

[@TheDragonHistorian]

There are two major editing errors to watch out for in this video: 이 영상에는 두 개의 편집 오류가 있습니다: 1. The population of the city circa 500 should be closer to 30,000. I generated the number files wrong. 500년경의 인구는 약 30,000이어야 합니다. 숫자 파일을 잘못 생성했습니다. 2. Towards the end, the Ile de Saint-Louis and a part of the Right Bank blink between green and navy. They should be navy. 영상 끝부분에 생루이섬과 우안 일부의 색이 녹색과 남색 사이를 오가는데, 남색이 맞습니다.

I wish this showed the growth of the urban area and not just the districts of Paris... 80% of Paris's population and urban area is outside of the districts.

[@ВаляВояджис]

Sure, to reduce Paris to only the tiny "intra-muros" part is a complete nonsense 🙄 Nowadays, the Paris metropolitan population is 13M (counting 40% commuters) and 15M (counting 25% commuters), this only makes sense for comparing this city to other cities in Europe and around the world.

[@jenedonnepasmonblaseanimpo2781]

The Parisians would tell you that Paris is only the city of Paris. Outside it is the "banlieues".

[@Aity7]

What you call the districts of Paris is in fact the City of Paris. Those who live out of it can't be counted. They are not Parisians. And as a non Parisian I'm perfectly fine with that. 😉

[@jenedonnepasmonblaseanimpo2781]

@@NikO0oooo I disagree. There are big differences between Paris and the banlieues. This is not the same cost of living, the same architecture, the same values etc. There are of course differences between the banlieues and between the Parisians discrits but this is not only a question of administration. I am telling you, if you ask a Parisian (like me) he will disagree.

[@TheRealSkyTheCookie]

@@NikO0oooo I have no clue and don't really give a shit about a lot of French things but this argument on if the areas that aren't officially districts, but people commuting in and not being considered part of the city is one of the most stupid arguments ever. They clearly are, even if they have their own distinct cultures. Just look at NYC if you don't believe so. (Just wanted to show you some support on this bike. Have a good day man.)

It makes sense. Islands are quite defendable, you need water for everything, and fishing can supplement the food supply. Plus it can be quite picturesque before urbanization.

[@niluje94]

And this region of France, which includes Paris at its center is called: Île-de-France (The Island of France). We, the inhabitants of the Île-de-France, we are called the Franciliens (men) / Franciliennes (women). It's a contraction of France and îlien / îlienne. I'm not sure for the translation of the french word "îlien / îlienne". It refers to a person who lives on an island (may be : islander) fun fact : On this island, in front of Notre-Dame, you can find on the ground a stone named : "point zéro des routes de france" (zero point of roads in France). it is used as a reference for calculating distances with other cities in France.

@@TheDragonHistorian I think it would also be better to assume urban area = city, or at least to mention the strong difference here. During most of history, a city was the same as an urban area, only in the 20th century some purely administrative separation were created. France especially, have a really weird and arbitrary way to separate things. Today those numbers would make Paris seem like a small city until you realize there's 12/13 million people in the urban area. An astonishing difference. And those areas are, I think, part of the history of Paris. London worked the same way for a while, the big city started touching the smaller surroundering cities. The only difference is that they were administratively integrated into the bigger city afterward. Good video overall though.

I believe there is a mistake. Paris wasn't at its origin on the island in the Seiner but more around the city of Nanterre a bit further west and it's the Romans who moved Lutecia (Paris) to where it is now.

[@elbentos7803]

Indeed, historians don't know for sure : - Old, traditionnal historiography highlight the island of the Cité as the gaulish site. - Important celtic archeological finds have been discovered in Nanterre (mostly burial sites), as opposed to Paris. But... - Paris having been continuously inhabited since +- 1 CE, ancient archeological sites may realistically have been destroyed among the centuries of constant building - destroying - rebuilding... The absence of very ancient archeological finds doesn't prove much in this context. - The toponymy of Nanterre is itself a problem since it's name is gaulish (Nemetoduro = the sanctuary's gate) and is NOT Lucotetia, the known gaulish name of the main Parisi oppidum. - The description written in 'de bello gallico' are nearly useless, for 1) C. J. Caesar wasn't present himself in the campaign against Parisis (it was Labienus), thus his written account is at best second hand. 2) Islands often changed, appeared, disappeared in a matter of months in such flat plain river such as the Seine. 3) A tight meander may have been confused as an island by Labienus observations. - There are other archeological hypothesis such as St Maur des fossés. Note that gaulish tribes often had very often more than one oppidum (helvetii for instance had a dozen oppida), commonly one for religious purpose (maybe Nanterre in this case), one for defense, one for trade.

[@amauryhervouet2459]

@@elbentos7803 Thank you for this very interesting and detailed answer! Well, I stand corrected! Perhaps, like in the case of early Rome (800 BCE), there were simply many tribes all around the region and they simply shared common infrastructures like graveyards, etc. ?

@@amauryhervouet2459 You're welcome, and there's nothing like "correction" : gaulish civilisation is poorly known except for very recent discoveries about material life (thanks to "sauvetage" archeology) - the very important discoveries of Nanterre burial site was among them.
