List of places named after Pierre Brossolette

Last updated

Many places, predominantly in France, have been named after French Resistance leader and hero Pierre Brossolette.

Contents

Summary

More than 600 public places can be accounted for bearing the name of Pierre Brossolette, a top leader and hero of French Resistance, making it one of the top-20 most-featured all-time public names in France. Most of them were inaugurated before 1964, in which period he was actually considered the most influential leader and the greatest hero of the wartime period. Accessorily, street inaugurations were systematically made, before Jean Moulin's Panthéon enthronement in 1964, according to the official government "tripartite" chart: Henri Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves (representing royalists and by extension the right-wing), Pierre Brossolette (socialists) and Gabriel Péri (communists).

Among these places, most are streets/squares distributed all over France, including overseas counties like La Réunion. The total count nears 500 (at least 490 actually) streets ranging from boulevards to cul-de-sacs, squares and greens, quays and bridges.

Also at least 76 schools, 27 venues (stadia, gyms, community centers), 8 estates/projects and 23 condominia can be counted, adding up to a minimum count of 624 places (not including building and street plaques, steles and monuments).

A unique aeolian memorial where 4 wind pipes would play the 4 chords of Beethoven's 5th symphony, in a reference to the BBC's Radio Londres opening. The pipes have been muted as the desert beach developed postwar into a balneary. The pipes have actually been stolen recently.

Regions of France Administrative divisions of France

France is divided into eighteen administrative regions, of which thirteen are located in metropolitan France, while the other five are overseas regions.

The overseas departments and regions of France are departments of France that are outside metropolitan France, the European part of France. They have exactly the same status as mainland France's regions and departments. The French Constitution provides that, in general, French laws and regulations apply to French overseas regions the same as in metropolitan France, but can be adapted as needed to suit the region's particular needs. Hence, the local administrations of French overseas regions cannot themselves pass new laws.

Administrative divisions of France Class grouping all types of territorial divisions of France (administrative or electoral)

The administrative divisions of France are concerned with the institutional and territorial organization of French territory. These territories are located in many parts of the world. There are many administrative divisions, which may have political, electoral (districts), or administrative objectives. All the inhabited territories are represented in the National Assembly, Senate and Economic and Social Council and their citizens have French citizenship and elect the President of France.

A territorial collectivity is a chartered subdivision of France, with recognized governing authority. It is the generic name for any subdivision with an elective form of local government and local regulatory authority. The nature of a French territorial collectivity is set forth in Article 72 of the French Constitution of 1958, which provides for local autonomy within limits prescribed by law.

Overseas Territories of France (European Parliament constituency) Constituency of the European Parliament

For elections in the European Union, Overseas Territories was a European Parliament constituency in France until the 2019 European Parliament election. It consisted of all the inhabited French overseas departments and collectivities, even if their territory is not part of the European Union. Constitutionally, all French citizens are also granted the same European citizenship, consequently all of them elected representatives in the European Parliament, independently of their area of residence.

Overseas France French-administered territories outside Europe

Overseas France consists of thirteen French-administered territories outside Europe, mostly the remains of the French colonial empire that chose to remain a part of the French state under various statuses after decolonization. This collective name is used in everyday life in France but is not an administrative designation in its own right. Indeed, the five overseas regions have exactly the same administrative status as the metropolitan regions while the five overseas collectivities are semi-autonomous and New Caledonia is an autonomous territory. Overseas France includes island territories in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, French Guiana on the South American continent, and several peri-Antarctic islands as well as a claim in Antarctica. Excluding the district of Adélie Land, where French sovereignty is effective de jure by French law, but where the French exclusive claim on this part of Antarctica is frozen by the Antarctic Treaty, overseas France covers a land area of 119,396 km2 (46,099 sq mi) and accounts for 18.0% of the French Republic's land territory. Its exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of 9,825,538 km2 (3,793,661 sq mi) accounts for 96.7% of the EEZ of the French Republic.

2021 French regional elections Most recent regional elections in France

Regional elections were held in France on 20 June and 27 June 2021. At stake were the regional councils in metropolitan and overseas France including the Corsican Assembly, Assembly of French Guiana and Assembly of Martinique, all for a six-year term. The Departmental Council of Mayotte, which also exercises the powers of a region, also participated in this election, because the departmental elections were held at the same time. Eighteen regional presidencies were at stake, with thirteen in mainland France and Corsica, as well as five overseas. Though they do not have legislative autonomy, these territorial collectivities manage sizable budgets. Moreover, regional elections are often perceived as a mid-term opinion poll. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the regional and departmental elections were postponed, first to 13 and 20 June 2021 and then to 20 and 27 June 2021.
