SOCIAL AND CULTURAL IMPACTS OF TOURISM

WRITE DOWN the name that Paris often referred to as ?

(a)  

Answer explanation

Most people assume that Paris is called ‘The City of Light’ because of its most famous landmark, the glittering Eiffel Tower, that’s mainly to blame for the misinterpretation. The real reason for the city’s name actually stems from the mid-17th century, when Louis XIV was on the throne.On March 15, 1667, Louis XIV made Gabriel Nicolas de la Reynie the Lieutenant General of Police, entrusting him with the task of making Paris more safe. In addition to quadrupling the number of policemen in the city, one of the measures was to install more lighting. Lanterns were placed on almost every main street and residents were asked to light their windows with candles and oil lamps. The idea was to prevent lawbreakers from dodging the police or hiding in dark alleys, therefore reducing the crime rate. From here on, the city gained the nickname La Ville-Lumière (‘The City of Light’).
