Where do “Left” & “Right” come from?

Le serment de Jeu de Paume. Copper plate by Pierre-Gabriel Berthault after a drawing by Jean-Louis Prieur (1789).

The terms "left" and "right" appeared during the French Revolution of 1789 with how the National Assembly divided supporters of the king vs supporters of the revolution.

This Assembly called themselves the "National Assembly" since they represented at least 96% of the nation. They took sovereign powers in respect of taxation and decided to frame a constitution restricting the powers of the king. Henceforth, sovereignty was to reside not in the person of the monarch but in the nation, which would exercize it through the representatives it elected. However, the Assembly considered itself to be acting in the king's interests and originally they declared all their laws subject to royal approval.

Following the storming of the Bastille on 14 July, the National Constituent Assembly became the effective government of France.

Relative to the viewpoint of the speaker (chair) of this assembly, to the right were seated nobility and more high-ranking religious leaders. To the left were seated commoners and less powerful clergy. The right-hand side (called le côté droit in French) became associated with more reactionary views (more pro-aristocracy) and the left-hand side (le côté gauche) with more radical views (more pro-middle class). Those with more moderate views were seated toward the center, while those with more extreme views were seated toward the edges.

A well-to-do western suburb of Paris, Courbevoie is in touch with the center of the city but has an easy, residential feel.

There are some understated museums to check out, housed in pavilions that were made for the Exposition Universelle in 1878. Courbevoie also contains some of La Défense, the city’s modern banking district, so you won’t have to go far for dynamic urban architecture and France’s number one shopping mall. And despite being in the suburbs, you’ll also have lightning-quick journey times to the center of Paris on the Métro Line 1. For the sake of convenience, we’ll deal with the things you can do in the west of Paris first. Discover the best things to do in Courbevoie.

[toc]

1. Musée Roybet Fould

A forgotten piece of Paris history, the site of this museum is a wooden pavilion built by Norway and Sweden for the University Exhibition in 1878. It’s a fusion of the old and new, because it’s in a traditional Scandinavian-style house, while also standing as an early piece of prefab architecture.

The permanent internal displays are mostly from the time that the stall was built. And as the museum’s name suggests these entail paintings by Ferdinand Roybet and Consuelo Fould.

On it, there are paintings and sculptures by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, and lots of small curiosities from the 19th century, such as toys, dolls, postcards, and posters.

2. Pavillon des Indes

Also from the University Exhibition in 1878 was Pavillon des Indes. This enchanting pavilion was actually commissioned by Edward VII, then Prince of Wales, to represent British India at the show.

As with the Musée Roybet Fould, it was originally placed on the Champ de Mars in front of the Military Academy.

Both were relocated to the Corbevoie Gian Parc de Bécon in the 1880s, where the Pavilion des Indes are still protected as a monumental monument. After falling into disrepair, the pavilion was restored in 2013 and reopened as a studio and gallery for emerging young artists, along with a small exhibition about Courbevoie in Tertiary. Republic.

3. Parc de Bécon

These pavilions decorate the peaceful Parc de Bécon, which slopes down to the left bank of the Seine.

And there are a few other things to keep in mind: You can see the front of the Charras Barracks, the site of the Swiss Guards, mercenaries protecting the King from the 17th century to the Revolution and the famous massacre at the Tuileries Palace.

You can also ponder the memorial to the National hero Maréchal Leclerc who died in a plane crash in 1947 and was posthumously awarded the title Marshal of France. There’s a dreamy view of the river from the monument’s terrace.

4. Folie Saint James

On the right bank of the Seine is an interesting small souvenir from Ancien Régime. He gave the architect permission to do whatever he wanted, provided it was expensive! And the outlandish result is a miniature mountain in the center of the garden with rocks that would have been transported here at a huge cost.

At the foot is a Doric temple and pond, and inside there used to be a network of tunnels covered with glimmering crystals.

5. La Défense

Many of the high-income residents of Courbevoie, making a short commute to the modern business district of Paris right next door. La Défense came to life in the 1960s and grew over the next 30 years, adding the sort of futuristic skyscrapers that wouldn’t get planning permission in the center of Paris.

New record-breaking structures are in the pipeline, but for now, it’s a district to wander and get some photos of the eccentric architecture and sculptures. If there’s an emblem for La Défense it’s the Grande Arche, a hollow cube-shaped building on an axis with the Arc de Triomphe several kilometers to the southeast.

6. Jardin d’Acclimatation

By car or subway, you've earned a few minutes to get to this attraction on the northern peak of Bois de Boulogne. This is music to children’s ears as they’ll be treated to rollercoasters, fairground rides, a miniature train, mini-golf, and animal attractions.

The Jardin d’Acclimatation was opened by Napoleon III in 1860 and still has a traditional air about it: There are landscaped gardens, many of the buildings go back to the 19th century and a lot of the entertainment is old-school and innocent, so think pony rides and puppet shows.

7. Fondation Louis Vuitton

Also on your doorstep is one of the newest cultural attractions in the city, and it’s pretty hard to miss. The museum was designed by Frank Gehry, and despite only being here since 2014 has recently been transformed.

The vaulting canopies suspended over the main structure of the building have been given a multicolored makeover by the French conceptual artist Daniel Buren. The collection inside is enriched by works from the big names in contemporary art, like Gilbert & George, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Jeff Coons.

There are also installations by the likes of Olafur Eliasson and Ellsworth Kelly, as well as a permanent show about the project to construct this striking building.

8. Château de Malmaison

Although you’ll be instinctively looking towards Paris for sightseeing, there’s also lots to see on the western outskirts. If the traffic is quiet, you can reach this prominent Royal palace in about ten minutes.

For a time at the start of the 19th century, the château even shared the seat of the French government with the Tuileries, while it was Napoleon’s final residence before he went into exile after the 100 Days.

The woman who will forever be linked with Malmaison is Joséphine de Beauharnais, the first wife of Napoleon. She lived at this property from 1799 up to her death in 1814 and invested huge amounts of cash on its grounds and interiors. There is an inside museum with intimate personal effects by Joséphine and Napoleon.

9. Église Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul

And since you’re in the area you could also call in at this church close to the château. It’s fine if sober Renaissance building, but the attraction isn’t so much how it looks but the events that took place here and the memorials inside.

Joséphine died of pneumonia in 1814 and her funeral took place on June 2 of that year. Famous architects, Louis-Martin Berthault and sculptor Pierre Cartello collaborated on her tomb.

You can also see the stunning mausoleum of her daughter Hortense, who was the mother of Napoleon III who ruled France in the Second Empire and commissioned this monument.

10. Local Markets

There are four markets in the Courbevoie area, trading five days a week. Two of these, Marché Villebois Mareuil and Marché Charras are covered, while Marché Marceau and Marché du Faubourg de l KhanArche are open air.

All have butchers, bakers, confectioners, fishmongers, florists, the cheese stands and sell traditional artisan products. And they’re local institutions, preferred to supermarkets for a couple of reasons: First, what you buy comes straight from the farm, cutting out the middleman and making it fresher.

But also, the traders selling this product are experts and will give you tips on how to store and cook whatever you buy from them.
