What Redditors are Saying

What is the Capital of France?

TL;DR The capital of France is Paris.

Paris as the Capital

Paris has been a central and significant city in France since the early Middle Ages. It became the official capital of France in 1792, although it had held importance long before that [4:2][4:5]. Historically, Paris was the seat of power for the Merovingians and later the Capetians, which contributed to its status as the capital [4:3].

Historical Context

Throughout history, the royal seat moved between different locations, with cities like Reims, Lyon, and Orléans playing important roles at various times [4:5]. During times of occupation, such as in 1870 and 1940, the French government temporarily relocated to Bordeaux [4:7].

Common Misconceptions and Humor

Some discussions humorously suggested incorrect answers, such as Canberra or New Jersey [1:1][1:5]. Others played on the word "capital" itself, suggesting 'F' as the capital letter in 'France' [2:1][3:2]. Despite these playful responses, Paris remains the definitive answer.

Ça veut dire quoi « si Paris n’existait pas » ? Il disparaît demain ? Il n’a jamais existé ? Par ce que si t’enlève Paris de l’histoire de France il y a beaucoup de choses qui changent et pas trop de moyens de prédire quelle serait la capitale du coup.

Sinon, quand Paris fut occupé en 1870 et en 1940, le gouvernement a déménagé à Bordeaux.

Paris n'a pris une importance preponderante qu'assez tard (elle n'est devenue la capitale qu'en 1792). Le siege royale bougeait de place en place pendant longtemps. D 'autre ville telle que Reims, Lyon ou Orlean ont tenu un role plus important.

SaucisseMarteau · 1 month ago

Paris est une des villes les plus importantes du royaume de France depuis le haut moyen-âge. Le siège du pouvoir a bel et bien varié selon les règnes ou les évènements historiques, mais Paris revet toujours une importance certaine. Avant la guerre de cent ans, Paris est déjà la capitale par exemple, et d'une manière générale, les fiefs royaux étaient en grande partie les territoires environnant Paris (pas seulement, certes), alors que des villes comme Lyon ou Toulouse appartenaient aux vassaux du Roi, donc n'étaient pas directement ses terres. À partir du moment où les rois se sédentarisent (après les carolingiens grosso modo), le pouvoir royal s'est largement exercé depuis Paris, les changements étaient davantage des exceptions que la norme.

Ce n'est pas un hasard si Louis XIV a fait déplacer la cour à Versailles, mais bien pour briser le pouvoir de Paris tel qu'il avait pu le subir pendant la Fronde.

Paris a toujours eu une importance économique, culturelle, religieuse et politique.

Pour citer Henri IV : "Paris vaut bien une messe" (pas Lyon, pas Marseille, ni Bordeau ou Perpignan : le royaume de France, c'est Paris).

C'est pas complètement vrai, Paris s'est maintenue comme capitale pour des raisons liées au centres de pouvoir des mérovingiens d'abord puis des robertiens devenus capétiens qui étaient très au nord, autour de la Seine et de la Somme. On le voit dans les tentatives de récupérer de manière effective l'Aquitaine et Toulouse, Lyon dépend de l'Empire et n'est pas une priorité avant que les rois tentent d'étendre le royaume vers l'Italie.

Je ne sais pas de quelle région tu parles en tout cas la rivalité débile Marseille / Lyon ne m’intéresse pas, étant moi-même Marseillaise par ailleurs

Dire que Lyon n’est pas connu sur le plan gastronomique est une hérésie totale. La gastronomie française y est très bien représentée, entre les restaurants étoilés et les bouchons lyonnais

Maj : Lyon n’était pas la capitale de chaque province gauloise certes, mais elle jouait le rôle de capitale fédérale des Trois Gaules sous Rome. C’était là que les représentants des provinces se réunissaient pour célébrer l’empereur et affirmer leur lien à Rome. Donc oui, Lyon fut une "quasi-capitale" (si je puis dire) de la Gaule, bien avant Paris, au sens politique et symbolique du terme

Like theHumbleFellow said, you have to go to Harvey's Island. You can use any Villager or Character you want (up to 10), any furniture and items you have (and as many of them as you want) and any emotion you already learned. The menu to create your settings are pretty easy and if you shot the first photo of a villager you'll get a poster of her or him in your catalog to order! :)

What country capital deserves its status the least(and what would be a better option)?

Posted by Ellloll · in r/geography · 14 days ago

Canberra, Australia

Many people think capital of Australia is Sydney or Melbourne but it actually is Canberra

The city was built because Sydney and Melbourne were fighting over country capital status, so, to solve this argument, they built a city in the middle of Sydney and Melbourne

Nowadays, most people who live there are government officials(from what I know), it also takes 8th place by population

Amsterdam

It’s officially and constitutional capital of the Netherlands

However nothing having to do with ruling the country is done there

It isn’t even the legislative capital of the province

So theres nothing making it a capital other than a piece of paper saying it is

Thunder-Invader · 14 days ago

It has to do with the palace and the monarchy. When Louis Bonaparte became the first king of the Netherlands he made the Amsterdam town hall the main ruling palace and so became Amsterdam the capital. When Napoleon was defeated and it was decided that William of Orange-Nassau (of the family of the former stadhouders) would become king he simply took over what Louis set up and what written in the Constitution.

As of now the palace is only used for ceremonial functions like state visits or other things related to the Royal family. So yes it is nowadays mostly a ceremonial capital

Fun fact: the former Dutch queen Beatrix wanted to make the Amsterdam palace her working palace when she became queen. However the ruling parties of Amsterdam where against it.

Ottawa Canada. It started as Bytown, a gritty small city of lumber mills and railroad tracks. Today it is a city of 1.24 million - fourth or fifth largest by population (depending on how population is counted) in Canada and is so poorly managed that it is plagued by homelessness, addiction, and failing infrastructure - everything here is underfunded. By international standards, it is not a very good looking city.

As an Irishman I agree. The primacy of Dublin, now with about a quarter of the entire country's population, and a dominating portion of its economic activity, has hurt the development of Ireland's second, third and fourth largest cities, and further on down, despite attempts at decentralising the administration. At this point, maybe half of the island of Ireland can be considered Dublin commuter belt. But for no country is it an easy, workable or simple decision to pick up Government and scatter it across the nation, and there's good reasons why primate cities exist. This is just one opinion piece of many on the subject. It's an interesting and complex problem to think about.
