Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads Paris is a city I feel I know fairly well; I've even been to some far-flung sites like the Cimetière des Chiens (Cemetery of the Dogs) in Asnières-sur-Seine and walked the abandoned train tracks of the Petite Ceinture.

The Ouest's Ceinture Rive Gauche northwards antenna would serve the Exposition once again, but this time as the head of their 'ligne des Moulineaux' railway line that, finally built between 1886 and 1889, crossed the Ceinture on its way into Paris towards its Champ de Mars terminus. Also for the 1889 exposition, the Ceinture eliminated the train-change required between Courcelles-Ceinture and Courcelles-Levallois: from then, Ceinture trains could travel a full circle around Paris, and Ceinture trains no longer went to the Gare Saint-Lazare, serviced through a transfer to or from a Paris-Auteuil train at Courcelles- Levallois. To accommodate this change, the Ceinture Syndicate modified their ticketing, signage and colour-coding to more easily differentiate trains and their destinations.

The du Bousquet design of locomotive saw most success in France, with three railway systems ordering the type; the Chemins de Fer du Nord, the Chemins de fer de l'Est, and the Syndicat des Ceinture (the Outer (Grande Ceinture) and Inner Circle (Petite Ceinture) lines of Paris).

The Ceinture syndicate, most likely because of its 1907-1908 loss of 3 million passengers (from 28 million), refused to fill the void, and instead reorganised its then Ceinture-Syndicate-only Courcelles-Ceinture/Courcelles- Ceinture passenger service to two trains an hour in evenings, three an hour in 'daytime' periods, and six an hour during rush-hour periods. One of the last Petite Ceinture de Paris passenger trains in 1933 - its passenger service would close one year later. View from the Buttes-Chaumont ravine slope to a steam engine and passenger train travelling below the park. Ceinture No. 3, an 0-8-0T locomotive built by André Koechlin (No. 1247 of 1870); later Nord 4.963 then SNCF 040.

Map The Grande Ceinture line (French - Ligne de Grande Ceinture) is a railway line round Paris 15 km from the Boulevard Périphérique. The decision to build it was taken at the end of the 19th century, to connect the radial lines linking the capital to the provinces and to relieve the existing Ligne de Petite Ceinture.

St Germain's Grande-Ceinture station St Germain's Grande-Ceinture station Saint-Germain-en-Laye–Grande-Ceinture is railway station in Saint-Germain-en- Laye, France. Its creation was decided on 11 March 1875 and opened in 1877. The station was built as a passenger stop on the Grande Ceinture but the line soon lost its passenger traffic only to become a goods station. The station recently reopened on 29 November 2004 and is the terminus of a small line to Noisy-le-Roi.

The Grande ceinture Ouest line (French - Ligne Grande ceinture Ouest, or GCO) is a 10km long section of the Grande Ceinture de Paris, located in Yvelines and reopened to the public on 12 December 2004, after being closed to passengers for 68 years. Managed by the SNCF, it links Saint-Germain-en-Laye (gare de Grande-Ceinture) to Noisy-le-Roi, via Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche. The line is little used at the moment but nevertheless provides a window on the SNCF via the many innovative methods used on it.

It was a stretch of rail that, after leaving the Ceinture to either side of the Belleville-Villette station to form a triangle to its east, arced northward to two stations, 'Paris Bestiaux' in the slaughterhouse marketplace and, further on to the other side of the drawbridged canal, 'Paris Abattoirs' in the slaughterhouse complex itself. The antenna and stations were open to service from 18 October 1867, three days before the inauguration of the slaughterhouses themselves. The completion of the Courcelles underpass and its 'Courcelles-Ceinture' station for the 1867 Universal Exposition meant that trains could travel in a full circle around Paris, but passengers still had to change trains: although the Ceinture Rive Droite's terminus moved to 'Courcelles-Ceinture', passengers still had to change trains over walkways to the 'Courcelles-Levallois' station. Also for the Universal Exposition, the Ceinture Rive Droite dotted its line with two new temporary 'for-exposition correspondence' stations, 'Est-Ceinture' (where the ceinture crossed the lines to the gare de l'Est) and 'Bercy-Ceinture' over the gare de Lyon lines (that was dismantled after the exposition end) stations appeared, and four new permanent stations: 'Saint-Ouen', 'Boulevard Ornano', 'Pont de Flandre', and 'Avenue de Vincennes'.

In exchange for its participation, the Ouest offered its Ceinture Rive Gauche and Courcelles bifurcation concessions, but demanded that its Paris-Auteuil line be exempt from it: this agreement was approved by decree on 11 November 1881, and effective from April 1883. Although it was isolated in the suburban countryside in the year of its inauguration, the now-named 'Petite Ceinture' that year was an integral part of the city. Although the Paris-Auteuil and Ceinture Rive Droite section plans had accounted for this eventuality, the Ceinture Rive Droite had many countryside-style road-crossings, a hindrance that became more important as Paris' population grew. The Syndicate's shifting its freight transport to the Grande Ceinture made remedying this problem possible, and from 1886, with service reduced to one rail in many places, City engineers and Ceinture Syndicate workers built bridges, dug trenches, re-landscaped, and rebuilt stations, all in time for the 1889 universal exposition.

The end of the Petitie Ceinture's passenger service was also the dissolution of the Grande-Ceinture-Petite-Ceinture Syndicate, and the concession obligations were divided between the Est, Nord and État (that had since bought the Ouest company) railway companies in a decree on 23 October 1934. The future of the Paris-Auteuil passenger line, now owned by the État (state) company, had been a subject of debate since the State (as the État company) bought the line ten years before: first proposed as an addition to the still-growing Métropolitan underground railway network, the state also imagined extending its electrified service along the former Ceinture Rive Gauche line, but in the end service continued as before with the only change being, from 1935, a tarification modification to a single-class 'Metro type' ticket and fee. The Nord company alone ran the Petite Ceinture (Rive Gauche, Rive Droite, Courcelles) from 1935, which meant the closing of the Ceinture Syndicate-owned La Chapelle-Saint-Denis engine hangars. Discussions about re- opening a Petite Ceinture passenger service beginning the same year ended fruitlessly two years later, with the only change being a "Courcelles-Ceinture à Auteuil-Boulogne" renaming.

TB.2 Freight, on the other hand, was even increasing: Between 1905 and 1911, it added new Ceinture-access junctions to its Aubervilliers freight yard (to the Nord-Est junction and to the Ceinture line by its Pont de Flandre station), added direct-access junctions to the northern and southern junctions of the Belleville-Villette freight yard, and expanded its Gobelins freight yard. From 1909, the Ceinture had 13 new Nord 3.800-type engines (numbered 81 to 93), and three new 0-8-0T engines (numbered 14 to 16); the latter would be the last steam engines ever ordered by the Ceinture Syndicate. After a slight increase because of the Metro's immobilisation because of the 1910 floods, the Ceinture passenger traffic continued its decline, with 17 million passengers for 1911.

The Paris Métro had been underway since 1898: the Ceinture had created a junction in 1899 with the 'Est/Ouest' company ateliers near the porte de Vincennes, and used it to deliver rolling stock to Paris' first metro line, the 'Porte Maillot–Porte de Vincennes' line that was inaugurated on 19 July 1900. The Ceinture Syndicate was already preparing to meet future competition through lowering passenger ticket prices and increasing the tempo of their trains during rush-hour periods. The Ouest company, perhaps already predicting the inevitable, withdrew its engines and cars from Ceinture circulation after its 'Boulainvilliers' service began from 1901; the Ceinture Syndicate replaced these with material of its own and adjusted its train schedules to fill in the slack: fifteen new passenger-train engines, Nord 230Ts, arriving between 1902 and 1903, reduced the time it took for a full-circle trip by ten minutes. Contrary to these measures, the Ceinture Syndicate reversed its stance on freight traffic, and returned to its pre-Exposition Petite Ceinture freight itineraries in 1902.

The first stretch of Parisian-station-connecting rail built wasn't part of the Ceinture concession at all, but one originating from an earlier inter-company deal which had become a separate concession of its own, an arc of rail between the Nord and Strasbourg (later: Est) lines: open in April 1852, it would be connected to the Ceinture upon its completion. The first length of the Ceinture railway was completed 12 December 1852 between Rouen's Batignolles freight yards and the Pont du Nord, a point above the Nord company rails south to their station in Paris. The second Ceinture section delivered, between Pont du Nord and Aubervilliers (the point where the Nord-Strasbourg arc-connection joined with the Ceinture railway), opened to service on 30 September 1853. From then, trains could travel freely between the Batignolles (Rouen), La Chapelle (Nord) and La Villette (Strasbourg-Est) freight yards.

One source, the Environmental Impact Study for the Tram Express Nord project, p. 266 (pdf) calls it the "most remarkable" station of the line. View of the station in the early 20th century; rear bridge carries Grande Ceinture line The unusual vertical arrangement of the station is due to its formerly having been a transfer point to the Grande Ceinture line, which had a stop there called the Grand Sentier. The Grande Ceinture crosses over the RER line passing next to one gable of the station.

The Auteuil line was joined to the Ceinture only through its Auteuil terminus from then; the two lines would become further distinct when the Auteuil line, with the Boulanvilliers antenna, was electrified one year later. Meanwhile, the Syndicate Petite Ceinture's passenger traffic was losing about one million passengers every two years, and had dropped below 8 million by 1926. When the City began demolishing its fortifications from 1919, the Ceinture saw an opportunity to relieve their over-encumbered Charonne- Marchandises freight station by expanding it yet further onto the land freed, but the City refused their request, a setback that may have been behind the Syndicate decision to return all its from-main-line freight traffic to the Grande Ceinture the same year. In another effort to ease its freight-traffic overload, the Ceinture Syndicate purchased its first and only Diesel engine in 1932: an 800-horsepower 'Sulzer' machine numbered 'D1', it would aid the composition of freight wagons before they were attached to a steam engine for Ceinture transit. The number of passengers on the Syndicate Ceinture had dropped to 10,247,533 by 1920, and to 9,440,524 by 1922.

World War II left the Petite Ceinture practically unscathed: a 1943 allied bomb (aimed at the Javel and Billancourt factories) damaged an arch of the Point du Jour bridge, and the 1944 Liberation of Paris made the Ceinture the scene of many a skirmish. An agreement earlier that year granted the Ceinture rail between its Champ de Mars freight yard and the east of its Avenue de Clichy station to the 'Region Ouest' (former 'État') company-member of the SNCF formed in 1938; this length of rail would later become part of the future RER C through Paris. The Courcelles embranchement, practically unused and reduced to one track since 1934, disappeared underneath a 1950s-era building project, and the Courcelles- Ceinture - correspondence was replaced with a 'metro-like' tunnel; a later building project swallowed the path of the disaffected rail and destroyed the old 'Courcelles-Ceinture' station a few years later. Freight traffic had actually accelerated since the Petite Ceinture passenger service ended; the Tolbiac freight yard was renovated from 1954, and from 1972, Gobelins- Marchandes became an underground station with access ramps for trucks making deliveries to local commerces.

The Auteuil bridge-viaduct (dit: 'Point du Jour') - built from 1863 to 1867, it connected the Ceinture Auteuil line to the Ceinture Rive Gauche open the same year. From 1852 the state had continued, non-officially, their own plan- study for the Left Bank arc of rail that would complete their original fortification-provision goals, and from 1857 this became an official pre- project that Napoleon III declared 'of public interest' in 1861. As all of the Ceinture Syndicate company lines were already connected between them, they saw no commercial interest in this. The state, intent in their aims, had begun procuring the funds necessary to purchase the lands and lay rail for the line even before Napoleon III's declaration, and had from 1863 begun the landscaping and bridge work needed for a Chemin de fer de Ceinture Rive Gauche: bridges because, unlike the Rive Droite Ceinture line, the Rive Gauche wouldn't block traffic, but pass over and under streets over bridges, below underpasses and through tunnels.

Boulevard Lefebvre was accessible through the Petite Ceinture bus line. Now it can be reached through the tramway Line 3a.

The TGV Lille- Lyon no longer uses the Grande Ceinture since the opening of the LGV Interconnexion Est in 1994.

The Pagode du bois de Vincennes, is located 40, route de ceinture du Lac-Daumesnil in the 12th arrondissement of Paris.

The Ceinture Rive Gauche's freight service was still insufficient for local commerce, though, and this led to the opening of a new 'Glacière-Gentilly' freight yard from 1882. Views on Paris' former Petite Ceinture 'Bel-Air' station and rails, undergoing modifications to raise the railway above its former street-level crossings. Line congestion was already a problem then, and a plan to build a 'Chemin de fer de Grande Ceinture' extra-muros railway ring had already been underway since 1875. The company least concerned with freight matters, the Ouest, had abstained from the agreement, but in 1880 proposed merging the two Ceinture syndicates (Petite and Grande): this would allow the companies to transfer their freight traffic to the outer ring and dedicate the inner ring to passenger and Parisian-commerce-destined freight traffic.

The also-Ouest-owned Ceinture Rive Gauche's stations were: From the Auteuil terminus, the 'Point du Jour' station at the end of a new bridge-viaduct across the river Seine, 'Grenelle' (where passengers could transfer to a shuttle to the Champ de Mars), Ouest-Ceinture (a transfer point with the Ouest lines to their 'Paris-Versailles Rive Gauche' station), 'Montrouge', 'Gentilly' (correspondence with the 'Paris-Sceaux' line to its Denfert- Rochereau terminus), 'Maison Blanche', and 'Orléans-Ceinture' (correspondence with the Orléans line to today's Gare d'Austerlitz). From its 1866 opening to passenger-only service, the entire line ran alternating Ceinture Syndicate and Ouest trains between the Ceinture line's then 'Avenue de Clichy' (formerly 'Batignolles-Clichy') and 'Auteuil' terminus at a rate of one train an hour in each direction, and at a rate of one every half-hour on Sundays and holidays. The entire 33-kilometer trip, with its 21 stops, took, at best, 1h50 then. While planning to replace Paris several intra muros slaughterhouses with a single complex near La Villette in 1859, Napoleon III demanded that the new slaughterhouse be connected to the Ceinture by rail, a plan that became a concession and decree on 19 October 1864.

In France, Rennes decided in the 1960s to maintain a green belt after its ring road. This green belt is named Ceinture verte.

A WTT for the Parisian Petite Ceinture belt railway gives a gradient profile and track diagram for the entire railway.Chemins de Fer de Ceinture de Paris, Livret de la Marche des Trains sur le Chemin de Fer de Petite Ceinture, Service au 20 Décembre 1915. In the USA, the New Haven Railroad Employee Timetable contained such information as: the maximum allowable speeds for different types of locomotives; electrical operating instructions concerning the operation of the AC catenary system and pantographs; designation of on which lines the different types of signalling were operational, e.g. manual block, automatic block and centralized traffic control.

Ceinture 51 to 65 were a class of fifteen 4-6-0T locomotives built in 1902 for the Syndicat d'Exploitation des Chemins de fer de Ceinture de Paris. They passed to the Chemins de fer du Nord in 1934 who renumbered them 3.701 to 3.715. In 1938 they passed to the SNCF who renumbered them 230.TA.1 to 230.TA.6.

Paris' first Metro line opened that year: from then, the numbers of those using the Petite Ceinture passenger service dropped steadily until its closure 1934. Although maintained as a freight line, even this use of the Petite Ceinture had come to a practical standstill by the 1980s. Since then, sections of the Petite Ceinture's trenches and infrastructure have been recuperated and renovated for the inter-urban RER C passenger transport service, some of its former stations have been sold to local commerce and services. The future of the stretches of Petite Ceinture remaining has always been, and still is, the source of much debate.

The station at Bobigny in 1984 gare d'Épinay-sur-Seine on the Ligne des Grésillons (now RER line C). The Grande Ceinture passes on the second bridge.

The just-constructed 'Courcelles' Paris-Auteuil (Petitie Ceinture) train station in 1854, over the trench holding the rails and quays it serves, isolated in the countryside just to the inside of Paris' fortification defences. The Pereire-owned Ouest company requested and obtained the government railway concession that 'extended the ceinture railway through Batignolles and Auteuil' in 1852. This line was planned as a passenger-only service created mainly for the Parisian bourgeoisie destined for their country homes to the south-west of the city, and had nothing at all to do with the freight-only Ceinture line, but the government indicated in the concession agreement that the line was to be "an extension of the Chemin de fer de Ceinture". Leaving the Gare Saint-Lazare rails just to the north of the station, the 'Paris- Auteuil' line arced west, passed through the town of Batignolles, then arced south with several stops before its terminus in the town of Auteuil.

In November 1856, four Est- company locomotives (and one in reserve) were enough to provide freight service between the city's rail company freight yards, and trains were composed of company-owned freight cars. Most often, freight, travelling the Ceinture in the wagons belonging to the company that brought it to the capital, once arriving at the freight-yard of the company taking it elsewhere in France, was transferred to that company's wagons, an onerous process. The Ceinture service was at first reserved for only 'main station' companies, but from 1 September 1855 opened to local merchants receiving goods, and two freight stations, 'Ceinture de Charonne' and 'La Petite Villette', opened in 1855 and 1856, respectively. Service at first was only during daytime hours, but from 1857, after a telegraph service was installed, ran at night as well. From 1861, the North company took over providing locomotion with seven new 040 T (numbered 551-557), engines that would become the signature Ceinture locomotive.

From this station, one can go to the Gare St-Lazare by taking the Grande Ceinture Ouest to St.Nom-la-Bretèche, where one changes platforms to get a train to Paris.

Petit Ceinture passenger train (before 1914) In 1850 the government decided to create the Chemin de fer de Ceinture, a railroad line around the city periphery, to connect the main stations that until then had to shuttle freight between them across Paris' streets. Construction began from 1851, the first sections were opened later the same year, and its Rive Droite section was operational by the end of 1852. The Nord company Paris-Auteuil passenger line opened from 1854. The Chemin de fer de Ceinture rail companies were loathe to open their freight line to passenger service (that they thought would encumber freight transport), but eventually gave in to government pressure and opened five Rive Droite passenger stations that opened for service from 14 July 1862.

The rails of the Auteuil-Champ-de-Mars 'Boulainvilliers' connection below the Boulainvilliers station being removed in 1984, in preparation for its transformation into the RER C. The Petite Ceinture railway line passing through the Parc Montsouris The connection between Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est was in use until the 2000s but () has seen use fall dramatically. Passenger and freight services from both stations are hauled by engines from the SNCF depots at La Chapelle and Pantin, seldom exchanging rolling stock. The Grande Ceinture is currently used to swap stock and as a diversion line. When plans to reanimate Paris' tramway in a ring encircling Paris began from 1995, re-using parts of the Petite Ceinture was under serious consideration.

Operation Ceinture was a late 1947 military endeavour by the French Far East Expeditionary Corps against the Viet-Minh during the First Indochina War. A month-long effort that commenced on 20 November following the cessation of Operation Lea, Ceinture (French: belt) intended to rid the region between Hanoi, Thai Nguyen and Tuyen Quang of Viet-Minh infiltration. The French utilised 18 paratroop battalions and naval landing craft to engage the Viet- Minh's 112 Regiment, however the latter were able to for the most part slip through French cordons, abandoning weapon caches. The cumulative casualties after Operation Ceinture and Operation Lea were 1,000 for the French and 9,500 for the Viet Minh (though some of these may have been civilians).

The Ceinture syndicate reduced train frequency again that year, with only four trains an hour in each direction at peak hours, and two trains an hour for the rest of the day. The onset of World War I slowed the passenger exodus somewhat, but because of a lack of workers and the price of combustibles then, the Ceinture Syndicate stopped its service to the Paris-Auteuil from December 1915, from when the Ceinture's terminuses became Auteuil and Courcelles-Ceinture. The Auteuil line's 1854 'Batignolles' station was destroyed during the renovation and enlargement of the Batignolles tunnels to the Gare St. Lazare from 1911, and the temporary station that replaced it took the name 'Pont Cardinet' from 1919; that same station would become the line's terminus in 1922 when, after a rail-traffic interrupting collapse of those same tunnels in 1921, it was moved there when the station's definite construction was complete. From then the only connection to the Gare St-Lazare from the ceinture was through the Boulainvilliers antenna (electrified since 1919), but this service, little used by passengers, ended from 1924.

Replacing the Nord company engines, the Ceinture Syndicate bought and ran its own 040 T locomotives from 1869, which were stored and maintained in new hangars near the Chapelle-Saint- Denis freight yards.

The Nord was the first to own the type, appropriately since du Bousquet was their Chief of Motive Power. They constructed 48 units, numbered 6.121 to 6.168, which were painted chocolate brown like all the Nord's compounds and assigned to the Le Bourget and Hirson depots. They worked heavy coal trains. In 1921, however, 34 of the 48 locomotives were transferred to the Grande Ceinture, where they worked until 1935, when the closure of many of the Ceinture lines rendered them surplus.

The station, initially named Évangile because of its proximity to Rue de l'Évangile, is located on the site of the former Est- Ceinture and Évangile stations, both part of the Parisian circular line "Petite Ceinture". The remnants of Évangile station were demolished in 2011. A new stop on Tram Line 3b opened at the station site on 15 December 2012 and the RER station opened on 13 December 2015. The station bears the name of American civil rights activist Rosa Parks.

With the opening of the Rive Gauche section from 1867, and the completion of a connection between the Auteuil and Rive Droite sections in 1869, passengers could travel in an uninterrupted ring, through twenty-five stations, around the capital. The Chemin de fer de Petite Ceinture (that had become 'Petite' from 1882 because of the construction of a wider ring of Grande Ceinture rail) was almost a predecessor to the Paris métro: it carried more than twenty million passengers in 1889, and forty million in the year of the 1900 Paris Exposition. After the first Paris metro line opened that year Ceinture passenger numbers dropped steadily; 24 million in 1910 and 12 million in 1920, and it ran up a large deficit each year. In 1931, the Municipal Council decided to stop passenger service.

Ceinture 4001 to 4005, was a class of five 4-8-0T tank locomotives designed by the Chemins de fer de l'Ouest for the Syndicat d'Exploitation des Chemins de fer de Ceinture de Paris. They were built by Société Alsacienne de Constructions Mécaniques (SACM) at their Belfort Works in 1904 In 1934 they passed to the Chemins de fer du Nord, who renumbered them Nord 4.001 to 4.005. In 1938 at the formation of the SNCF, they became 240.TA.1 to 240.TA.5.

The first station was built for the Exposition Universelle (1867). This station was a terminus and the line ran from the Petite-Ceinture to the Champ de Mars. The station was demolished shortly after the Exposition.

The SNCF Class CC 65500 diesel locomotives were built by CAFL and CEM between 1955 and 1959. They were used on heavy express freight in the Paris area, being commonly seen on the Grande Ceinture lines around Paris.

The Ouest company, on their side of the agreement, would lay the rail, provide all the buildings, and execute and maintain rail service; for the Exposition, the Ouest agreed to lay a 'temporary' antenna from its 'Grenelle' station north to the Champ de Mars, and make the required modifications to their Auteuil line that would allow it to be used by freight trains. The Ceinture Rive Gauche line began service on 25 February 1867, and the 'temporary' Grenelle-Champ de Mars portion of track entered service two days later, all in time for the Exposition opening. All that remained was the portion of rail connecting the Auteuil lines to the Ceinture Rive Droite under the railway lines from the (rebuilt and renamed since 1853) Gare St-Lazare: the underpass construction began in February 1867, and it and its new station, Courcelles-Ceinture, began service from 25 March 1869.

The Ceinture-Syndicate-owned passenger cars were two-level 'Impériales' pulled by two 030 'Mammouth' locomotives, and service was one train in each direction every two hours. Extra trains were added on holidays, and from 1866, to serve local factories, reduced-price morning and evening 'worker trains' as well. Meanwhile, the Ouest company's passenger-only Paris-Auteuil line had been running trains every half hour in the mornings, and every twenty minutes in the afternoon, between its Saint-Lazare terminus, 'Batignolles-Clichy', 'Courcelles- Levallois', Neuilly-Porte Maillot', 'Avenue de l'Impératrice' (later 'avenue Foch'), 'Passy' and 'Auteuil' (terminus) stations since its 1854 opening. From 1866, in preparation for its connection to the Ceinture Rive Gauche, its quays were lowered, and a new Auteuil terminal, lateral to the first, took trains from the Saint-Lazare station, creating a correspondence with the old platforms that were from then dedicated to Ceinture Rive Gauche service.

La ceinture du grand froid, by Nic & Cauvin, is the thirtieth album of the Spirou et Fantasio series, and the first of the authors. The story was initially serialised in Spirou magazine, before released as a hardcover album in 1983.

T11 opened in 2017, while T9 & T10, held back into paper projects for many years, are still under preparative works, now joined by lines T12 & T13, the last parts of the former Grande Ceinture line that aren't covered by T11.

In 1924 it was decided to create the "Grande Ceinture complémentaire" between Noisy-le-Sec and Sucy- Bonneuil. This line opened in 1928 for freight and in 1932 for passenger traffic. The section between Bobigny and Sucy-Bonneuil was built later.

In the same period, the Auteuil line had 9 million passengers in 1920, a drastic drop to 6 million one year later, and by 1930 had only 4,109,000 passengers. From 4 May 1931, several letters and meetings about the situation with the Minister of Public Works resulted in a plan end passenger service for the line, and to replace it with a 'PC' bus service that would run along the Boulevards Maréchaux between Courcelles-Ceinture and Auteuil: in the final agreement signed by the Minister 28 February 1934, the Ceinture Syndicate was authorised to end its passenger service from 1 April that year.

From the winter service in 1984 onwards, a new direct TGV link from Lille to Lyon was proposed using the Grande Ceinture Est routes from the junction at Stains to Valenton. Traffic then runs through Noisy-le-Sec but certain trains also loan the "Complémentaire" if there are engineering works or other disruptions. The success of this new scheme led SNCF to offer a second daily round-trip ticket as early as 1985. Until 1986, trains were coupled at Valenton with a new direct Rouen-Lyon service, using the Grande Ceinture Sud, from Versailles-Chantiers to Valenton through Massy-Palaiseau.

Hercule apporte à Eurysthée la ceinture de la reine des Amazones by Daniel Sarrabat In Greek mythology, Eurystheus (; , ) was king of Tiryns, one of three Mycenaean strongholds in the Argolid, although other authors including Homer and Euripides cast him as ruler of Argos.

There are plans to build a TGV link between Normandy and l'aéroport de Roissy, using the LGV Normandie, the Grande Ceinture Nord until Stains, or a new interchange station onto the LGV Nord. This project appeared in the preliminaries of the SDRIF of November 2006.

First "Express" tram line of the parisian network — due to reusing the long-closed Grande Ceinture, with only a handful of stations in — , Tramway line 11 is actually the most recent tramway line of the Parisian network, serving as the first of 3 lines to cover the former Grande Ceinture rail line and offering in fine a second circular railroad service around Paris, something the Paris public transport system sorely lacked for many years T11 line opened in 2017 between Épinay-sur-Seine and Le Bourget RER/Train stations, the middle part of its expected full route between Sartrouville & Noisy-le-Sec RER/Train Stations .

The station is at kilometric point 21.250 of Paris-Le Havre railway. It is inside a rail complex that includes a marshalling yard, a depot, and a maintenance establishment. This complex is the starting point of Achères-Pontoise railway. It is also crossed by Grande Ceinture line.

Three sections of the old railway were opened to the public, with more to come. One of the legally accessible parts is the Petite Ceinture in the 15th arrondissement in the south of Paris. On 23 March 2019, a section in the 20th arrondissement opened to the public.

The Ceinture Rive Droite concession agreement stipulated that the railway should have a passenger service, but the companies were content with their freight-only line. After increasingly hostile state pressure, the companies opened five hastily-built passenger stations in 1862: 'Batignolles- Clichy', 'Belleville-Villette' (near the "La Petite Villette" freight station), 'Ménilmontant', and 'Charonne' (in the existing Charonne freight yard), and 'La Rapée-Bercy'. Two others, 'La Chapelle-Saint-Denis' and 'Bel Air', opened before two years later; the latter would be the line's first 'correspondence' point from 1863 when the Est-owned 'Paris-Vincennes' line (to its place de la Bastille terminus) added a 'Bel-Air-Paris' station just below the Syndicate 'Bel-Air-Ceinture' station.

The line will replace the current branch of L line between Saint-Germain-en-Laye Grande-Ceinture and Noisy-le-Roi, going further north to Saint Germain-en-Laye RER and further south to Saint-Cyr. Alstom's Citadis Dualis tram-trains will be used on the line. Opening is scheduled for November 2018.

The boulevard starts at Porte de Bagnolet and ends at Porte des Lilas, where it is continued by boulevard Sérurier. The housing estate is located on the west side, near Porte de Bagnolet. The boulevard was accessible through the Petite Ceinture bus line. Now it can be reached through the Métro Line 3.

Several other improvements as the 1900 Universal Exposition approached: a temporary 'Claude Decaen' stop (that would become permanent from 1906) to serve Exposition installations in the Parc de Vincennes, new Ceinture Syndicate cars and engines (more Nord-built 030Ts), electric lighting for all 186 cars, and the Champ de Mars station was modified with, in addition to its platforms serving for trains continuing to Invalides, twenty platforms as a terminus for trains from all destinations. The schedule was modified as well to accommodate the many shorter-distance 'navette' trains travelling to and from the exposition: in all, the Champ de Mars station transported 3,979,429 passengers, and the total Ceinture passengers for 1900, all companies confounded, was 38,985,079 passengers, its absolute peak.

Savigny-sur-Orge is a railway station in Savigny-sur-Orge, Essonne, Paris, France. The station was opened in 1843 and is on the Paris–Bordeaux railway and Grande Ceinture line, a freight railway around Paris. The station is served by Paris' express suburban rail system, the RER. The train services are operated by SNCF.

Decided upon in 1875, the Grande Ceinture opened in 1877 between Noisy-le-Sec and Villeneuve- Saint-Georges. On 16 July, a passenger service was put in place between gare de l'Est and gare d'Austerlitz. In 1882, the section between Noisy-le-Sec, Le Bourget and Achères was inaugurated. A station was built at Saint-Germain-en- Laye.

Location on the Seine It was built between 1852 and 1853 as a railway bridge (to allow the Petite Ceinture line to cross the river) and to link the "enceintes" on the two sides of the river. Its architects were E. Couche, Petit, Gaspard, and Netter. Its width was doubled with an addition on the upstream side in 1936.

Vauban's proposal for creating a Pré carré or 'duelling zone' on France's northern border, defended by a line of fortresses known as the Ceinture de fer (marked in red and green) On both sides, the last years of the war saw minimal return for their investment of men and money. French strategy in Flanders was largely based on Vauban's proposed line of fortresses known as the Ceinture de fer or iron belt (see Map). This aligned with Louis' preference for siege warfare, which was further reinforced by the death of Turenne and Condé's retirement; their passing removed two of the most talented and aggressive French generals of the 17th century and the only ones with sufficient stature to challenge him. In Germany, Imperial forces recaptured Philippsburg in September 1676 but the French stabilised their front.

Many steps are required in the creation of a ceinture fléchée. First, the craftmaker picks the wool threads that they need. The threads have to be long enough so that the person who will wear the sash can pass it twice around the waist. The craftmaker needs to add the length of the fringes at each end of the belt.

15,000 French troops descended upon Việt Minh strongholds north of Hanoi. Ho Chi Minh and military leader Võ Nguyên Giáp barely escaped but the French attack bogged down and Operation Lea was a failure.Logevall, pp. 202-203 ; 20 November to 22 December In Operation Ceinture The French renewed their attack on Việt Minh strongholds north of Hanoi with a 12,000 man army.

In 1883, the section between Juvisy and Versailles was opened, then in 1886 that between Villeneuve-Saint-Georges and Massy-Palaiseau. This last section was demanded by the army. In 1939, most of the Grande Ceinture closed to passenger traffic, which was left with only the Versailles - Massy- Palaiseau - Juvisy-sur-Orge section. The line thus became principally mercantile in traffic.

Google Maps The Canal de Charras forms the south-eastern border of the commune with the Canal des Roseaux joining it on the southern border and forming part of the south western border. In most of the commune - especially the south - there is an extensive network of canals including the Canal de Ceinture du Marais de Moullepieds and the Canal de Lileau.

The Est built 13 du Bousquet locomotives at their Épernay Works between 1910 and 1911. Numbered 6101 to 6113, these were identical to the Nord locomotives, being constructed from the same plans. All of them were transferred to the Syndicat des Ceinture in 1921, and when the Syndicat was dissolved in 1934 they were leased to the Nord. Eventually they became SNCF 2-031+132.

The station is served by trains on Branch C1 of the RER C. The station is set to become a significant interchange. In 2014, a stop on Île-de-France tramway Line 8 opened. In the future, the station is to be served also by the Tram Express Nord, on the former Grande Ceinture line. In 2004, the number of passengers per day was between 2,500 and 7,500.

Passenger traffic between Orly and Pont-de-Rungis reopened in 1969, then that between Pont-de-Rungis and Massy-Palaiseau in 1977. On 30 September 1979, this latter section was integrated into RER C. Between 2005 and the end of 2006 the marshalling yards of Achères and Villeneuve-Saint-Georges closed ; the Grande Ceinture thus no longer links the marshalling yard at Le Bourget to the radial lines.

The album is divided into Pilule bleue (15 tracks) and Pilule rouge (11 tracks). The album reached number one in France SNEP and in Belgium Ultratop. The song "Est-ce que tu m'aimes?" reached number one in Italy FIMI and number 3 in France SNEP and was a popular hit throughout several European countries after its release. On 23 March 2018, Maître Gims released his third album, Ceinture noire.

The 140.Cs were allocated to all the main État depots, Mézidon, Le Mans, Rennes, Brest, Nantes and Bordeaux, and were used to haul many of the company's express trains; Paris-Le Havre, Paris-Cherbourg, Paris-Granville and on the Chemin de fer de Grande Ceinture. The 140.Cs, hired out to CFTA, were the last steam locomotives in regular day-to-day commercial use on the French railway network.

The boulevard Soult runs from avenue Daumesnil at to Porte de Vincennes, where it is continued by boulevard Davout. Boulevard Soult was accessible through the Petite Ceinture bus line. It can now be reached through the tramway Line 3 (Porte de Vincennes, Alexandra David-Néel, Montempoivre, Porte Dorée stations), the Métro Line 1 (Porte Dorée station), as well as RATP bus lines 29, 46, 56, 86 and 351.

During the Middle Ages, the various authorities, civil or noble, oversaw prostitution as an institution. Regulation was largely at the municipal level, restricting activity on certain streets, travel, liaisons, required distinctive dress (gold belts, or ceinture dorée)Véronique Bui.

A fingerbraiding modern arrow sash handmade in 2007 (with details of the patterns) A machine-woven modern arrow sash The ceinture fléchée (French for "arrowed sash"; English: L'Assomption sash or "arrow sash") is a type of colourful sash, a traditional piece of French-Canadian clothing linked to at least the 17th century (of the Lower Canada, Canada East and early confederation eras). On account of the fur trade and French-Indigenous relations, the Métis also adopted and made ceintures fléchées (Métis-French or Michif translation: "Sayncheur Flayshii" or "Saenche(i)ur Flechey") and use them as part of their national costume. French-Canadian and Métis communities share the sash as an important part of their distinct cultural heritages, their cultural distinctions, their nationalities, their national costumes, their histories and their resistance. While the traditional view is that the ceinture fléchée is a French-Canadian invention, other origins have been suggested as well.

This mark, called the Estampille, used a heated iron to mark the piece with the initials of the master. It was usually placed on the back of the rear traverse of chairs, under the marble of commodes and secretaries, and under the surrounding ceinture of tables. marks are often missing, either forgotten by the craftsman, or defaced. Given the high value of signed pieces by famous craftsmen, Counterfeit Estampilles are not unknown.

The bilingual belt (French: la ceinture bilingue) is a term for the portion of Canada where both French and English are regularly spoken. The term was coined by Richard Joy in his 1967 book Languages in Conflict, where he wrote, "The language boundaries in Canada are hardening, with the consequent elimination of minorities everywhere except within a relatively narrow bilingual belt."Richard Joy, Languages in Conflict. Ottawa: Self-published, 1967, p. 21.

The altered knee length version had no buttons and was worn with a military sash (Ceinture fléchée). The habitant capot was no longer the sailors' capot nor the soldiers' capote, but something distinct, combining features from both. Capot is the Quebec French word that described this unique winter jacket. From capot came the verb encapoter or s'encapoter also in Quebec French (meaning to put on a capot and other winter accessories before going out).

The Boulevard Poniatowski starts at the Quai de Bercy and goes through Porte de Charenton, before ending at Porte Dorée and Avenue Dumesnil, where it is continued by Boulevard Soult. Boulevard Poniatowski was accessible through the Petite Ceinture bus line. It can now be reached through the tramway Line 3, the Métro Line 8 (Porte Dorée and Porte de Charenton stations), as well as RATP bus lines 29, 46, 87, 109 and 111.

Among others, the promenade plantée uses the old viaduc Daumesnil. In bois de Vincennes, the islands of Bercy and of Reuilly are linked to each other, and the east of the latter to the rest of the park. The line for the chemin de fer de Petite Ceinture also includes several bridges and viaducts, as well as footbridges across it such as that carrying rue de la Mare in the 20th arrondissement.

Marche ou Crève and More Majorum for Legion Officers, Sous-Officiers and Legionnaires of the CEPs, BEPs and REPs of the Legion. Saharan Mounted Companies of the Foreign Legion (CSPLE). Often blue or red and worn by all the soldiers of the Army of Africa; the Legion however, officially adopted the Ceinture Bleue (blue sash) in 1882. Coming out of a difficult Indochinese conflict, the French Foreign Legion, reinforced cohesion by extending the duration of basic training.

On 7 October 1947, after months of preparations, Valluy launched Operation Lea with the aim of capturing the Vietminh leadership and destroying their forces in the Viet Bac. While French paratroops almost captured Ho Chi Minh at Bac Kan, the Viet Minh slipped away through gaps in the French lines. Operation Lea concluded on 8 November. On 20 November, Valluy launched Operation Ceinture between Thai Nguyen and Tuyen Quang, and the French seized Viet Minh supplies and bases.

Sousi Beaulieu wearing a traditional ceinture fléchée (Métis sash) The North Slave Métis have continuously used and occupied the territory north and east of Great Slave Lake since the mid-18th century.Mackenzie, Alexander. Voyages from Montreal Through the Continent of North America to the Frozen and Pacific Oceans in 1789 and 1793, Vol. I (1902 ed.) By the early-19th century, the North Slave Métis community in the Great Slave Lake area was distinct from other indigenous groups.

The pont National (named pont Napoléon-III from its construction until 1870) is a road and rail bridge across the Seine in Paris, to the east of the 12th and 13th arrondissements. With a total length of 188.5m, it is made up of 5 masonry arches. Its rail part carries the Petite Ceinture, now disused, and its road part links boulevard Poniatowski to boulevard Masséna. Its nearest Paris Métro stations are Porte de Charenton and Cour Saint-Émilion.

Porte des Lilas (English: Gate of Lilacs) is a 1957 French-Italian dramatic film directed by René Clair, based on René Fallet's novel La Grande Ceinture. The film is known as both Gates of Lilacs and The Gates of Paris, but was released under the latter title in the United States.The IMDb website suggests Gates of Paris was the universal English title. However, according to Ronald Bergan and Robyn Karney in the Bloomsbury Foreign Film Guide (London: Bloomsbury, 1988, p.

In The Black Box, Fantasio opened the mysterious box that Jefferson, Boris and Karl left them (see La ceinture du grand froid), and discovers plans within for thousands of inventions. When he tests one in company of Spirou, it draws the attention of Commander Alexander, who retrieves the box with Kalloway. Spirou must exchange the black box with them for Fantasio's release. Thanks to Jefferson, they discover that the gangsters are hiding in a stronghold in the Sahara, where they are protected by natives.

The station was opened on 12 October 1942 with the commissioning of the extension of line 5 from Gare du Nord to Eglise de Pantin. It was then located not far from Belleville-Villette station on the Chemin de fer de Petite Ceinture line, closed in 1934. The name refers to the Rue de l'Ourcq, named for the river Ourcq, a tributary of the Marne (river). It rises in Aisne and flows into Île-de-France; it is connected to the Seine by the Canal de l'Ourcq.

The principal of a circular line, conceived at the start of the 1900s, led to the creation of a line called Ceinture intérieure des Invalids aux Invalides (inner belt from Invalides to Invalides). This 11.7 kilometer section was realized in 1907 under the name of line 10.Tricoire 1999b, p. ???. On the rive droite, the line had to borrow the platforms of line 8, and as such a set of complex connections were created under the esplanade of Invalides with the creation of a large loop.

Richard Shindell recorded a cover of this song on his 2005 album Vuelta. The song was covered by Dick Gaughan in his 1997 album Sail On. John McCutcheon covered the song on his 2007 album This Fire. Bruce Springsteen, who would later record an album of Seeger- related songs, used the line "Waist deep in the big muddy" as the chorus for his 1992 song, "Big Muddy." The song was translated into French by Graeme Allwright in 1971 under the title "Jusqu'à la ceinture".

The Little Ring Line (Ligne de la Petite Ceinture) was constructed in order to link the major rail supply routes within the Thiers Fortifications that surrounded Paris. The line was opened in sections between 1852 and 1869, reaching a total length of and encircling Paris within the boulevards des Maréchaux. Initially, the line was for the exclusive use of freight traffic, before subsequently opening to passenger traffic. The Ligne d'Auteuil, in contrast, opened to passengers only immediately in 1854, and only opened to freight in 1867.

It was greatly influenced by the Tramway Français Standard of Nantes which had been very successful. Crossing the Grande Ceinture line at Bobigny in March 2006. Funding was provided with the regional planning contract of 1984. The project, re-estimated to cost 520 million francs (about 79.3 million euro or 103.5 million US dollars), received 50% of its funding from the state, 42.8% from the region and 7.2% from the département, the latter covering the extra cost of building a tramway over other transportation options.

1916 view of the station platforms, now the Transilien station Although the stop appears to have been created in 1850,"Villetaneuse" in État des communes du département de la Seine à la fin du XIXe siècle, Paris: Montévrain, 1896 . the station was constructed only in 1880, as the Gare d'Épinay, by the Chemins de fer du Nord with appropriate architecture for a junction station, as at Eu. It was renamed Gare d'Épinay-Villetaneuse in 1908 when the new Gare d'Épinay-sur- Seine was built on what was then called the Les Grésillons line (now incorporated into the North Branch of the RER C). The Nord Company opened the line between Épinay and Persan-Beaumont via Montsoult in 1877 and the Montsoult - Luzarches branch in 1880.Michel Rival, Le Refoulons, ou, Le chemin de fer d'Enghien à Montmorency: petite histoire d'une grande ligne, 1866-1954, Paris: Valhermeil, 1989, , p. 248.

At one time, she was considered as a possible bride for her cousin, Louis Auguste, Prince of Dombes, but she refused. Another proposed husband was the Duke of Chartres, the son of the Regent, and heir to the House of Orléans. His mother, however, wanted a more prestigious marriage for her son with a young German princess. Voltaire, a friend of Richelieu, wrote the following verse concerning Louise-Anne: :Frère ange de Charolois :Dis-nous par quelle aventure :Le cordon de Saint François :Sert à Vénus de ceinture.

The fringes are used to tie the arrow sash. After that, the craftmaker organizes the threads and weaves them to create designs of lightning bolts (zigzags), flames (lozenges) and arrow heads (usually in the middle of the sash). Finally, to make the fringes, the craftmaker finishes the belt by making twists or braids with the length of thread that remains. In the creation of a perfect ceinture fléchée or the intricate beadwork designs that would adorn various artifacts a hard callus develops on the tips of the finger.

They are worn around the waist in the old Algerian or zouave style ("ceinture de laine"). Traditionally these sashes were more than in length and in width. In the historic French Army of Africa, sashes were worn around the waist in either blue for European or red for indigenous troops.André Jouineau, "The French Army in 1914", pages 45-63, The modern British Army retains a scarlet sash for wear in certain orders of dress by sergeants and above serving in infantry regiments, over the right shoulder to the left hip.

Later in the war the Russian army started using tractors, often imported American Allis-Chamers types, to move these guns as a train. It took a trained crew 20 – 30 minutes to ready the gun for firing from the transport configuration. The gun's wheels could be fitted with hinged flat plates, similar to the French "ceinture de roues", to permit towing on soft ground. The Russian projectiles were a little lighter than the French equivalent weighing 38.6 kg for the shrapnel projectile and 41 kg for the high explosive projectile.

The latter was joined by to the Petite Ceinture rail line, which allowed for the transfer of trains between lines. At the other end, the provisional terminus at Notre-Dame-de- Lorette was set up with three tracks including a central depot. On the opening day, public representatives rode from Notre-Dame-de-Lorette to Porte de Versailles, and returned to Gare Saint-Lazare for a buffet held in the rotunda. The press reports were laudatory, commenting on the smoothness of journey, and their brightness of the stations.

Extract from the May 1914 timetables for passenger services on the Grande Ceinture The Grande Ceinture's role always erred towards freight rather than passenger transportation. As one can see on the timetables in May 1914, the number of passenger trains of travelers was limited, as was their speed. Running through areas that were then under-urbanised and not linking into the necessary suburban rail-routes, it is thus unsurprising that the Grande Ceinture's passenger service proved unable to withstand the increasing use of cars, buses and other modes of transport.

In this era, electrifying the Grande Ceinture's eastern section became necessary so that freight trains could run along the Ceinture without a break. To this end, the junction section from Stains (Paris-Creil line) to Noisy-le-Sec was switched on as an electric line on 21 July 1959. The Argenteuil-Stains and Bobigny-Gagny sections on the "Complémentaire" were, in their turn, electrified with 25 kV on 14 September 1970. A freight train in the direction of Valenton en route to the sheds at Villemomble, now out of use.

In an effort to avoid blocking traffic (like the Ceinture Rive Droite did), it was built below ground level for most of its 9.5 km length, an endeavour that required the construction of 14 bridges across its entrenched path. Besides its rue St-Lazare embarcadère terminus (also serving the Ouest company's other lines), the line had five stations: Pont-Cardinet (an SNCF station today), Courcelles (today's Pereire - Levallois RER C station), Neuilly-Porte Maillot, Avenue de l'Impératrice (Avenue Foch), Passy (Avenue Henri-Martin) and Auteuil (unused today). The Paris-Auteuil passenger line was inaugurated on 2 May 1854.

The Girdle of Polly Hipple is four pages long and looks at one of the first reporting jobs of William Pickle. It first appeared in Twelve, a comic strip anthology from Accent UK. This comic had 12 different stories from 12 different creators, each story being based around one of the 12 tasks of Hercules. It was republished in French as "Le Ceinture de Polly Hipple" in a flip-book along with The Sword of Truth by BD Must in 2013. The Sword of Truth is six pages long and looks at an event in the early career of Lily Lawrence.

Florent Marcie made his first documentary, La tribu du tunnel (The Tunnel Tribe) in 1995 in the disused streets of the Petite Ceinture in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. The film was selected at the Documentary Film Festival of Lussas and was broadcast on French TV Canal+ and France 2, in French-speaking Switzerland on TSR and in Canada on SRC. In 1997, he produced the documentary Diary of a Sicilian Rebel (Diario di una siciliana ribelle) made by Italian filmmaker Marco Amenta. The movie was selected in the official competition of the 54th Venice Film Festival.

French gains by Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle: Louis returned Cambrai, Aire and Saint-Omer, but retained the rest France withdrew from Franche-Comté and the Spanish Netherlands, with the exception of eleven towns and their surrounding areas. Lille, Armentières, Bergues and Douai were considered essential to reinforce France's vulnerable northern border and remain French to this day. The retention of Tournai, Oudenaarde, Kortrijk, Veurne, Binche, Charleroi and Ath made future offensives much easier, as demonstrated in 1672. From a military perspective, France strengthened its northern border, and Vauban began work on the defence line that became known as the Ceinture de fer.

It has grown in size from in 1962 to in 1996. In Belgium, Brussels implemented Europe's largest pedestrian zone (French: Le Piétonnier), in phases starting in 2015 and will cover .

Saint Germain en Laye is connected to other communes by the Résalys bus network operated by Transdev Montesson-les- Rabeaux. Saint-Germain-en-Laye is served by Saint-Germain-en-Laye station on Paris RER line A. It is also served by two stations on the Transilien Paris – Saint-Lazare suburban rail line: Saint-Germain – Grande Ceinture. Saint- Germain-en-Laye is also served by Achères – Grand Cormier station on Paris RER line A and on the Transilien Paris – Saint-Lazare suburban rail line. This station is located in the middle of the Forest of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, far away from the urbanized part of the commune.

Legionnaire of the Saharan Mounted Companies of the Foreign Legion (CSPLE). Blue or red sashes of the pattern shown were worn by all units of the Army of Africa; the Legion however, officially adopted the Ceinture Bleue (blue sash) in 1882. The Saharan Mounted Companies of the French Foreign Legion consisted of legionnaires of various nationalities and races transferred from the existing French Foreign Legion infantry and cavalry regiments. These units should not be confused with the Saharan Méharistes Companies (a separate camel corps with Arab/Berbers personnel recruited from Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco, with French officers) which are covered in detail in the Méhariste article.

The prime season for "le train bleu" was between November and April, when wealthy travellers escaped the British winter to spend their holiday on the French Riviera. It originated at the Gare Maritime in Calais, where it picked up British passengers from the ferries across the English Channel. It departed at 1:00 in the afternoon and went to the Gare du Nord in Paris, then around Paris by the Grande Ceinture line to the Gare de Lyon, where it picked up additional passengers and coaches. It departed Paris early in the evening, and made stops at Dijon, Chalon, and Lyon, before reaching Marseille early in the morning.

The tunnel on the left leads to the Vaugirard workshop The rolling stock of Line 12 is maintained at the Vaugirard workshop, situated underground in the 15th arrondissement of Paris between the rues Croix-Nivert, Desnouettes and Lecourbe, and Lycée Louis-Armand. They connect with the main line on the tunnels toward the Mairie d'Issy station, north until the Porte de Versailles station. It is also connected to the Petite Ceinture, a minor disused railway, by tracks which cross Rue Desnouettes. As with all rolling stock on the system, heavy maintenance, such as the replacement of worn parts (batteries, paint, springs, etc.), happens at the Choisy workshops.

Despite her doubts, she still taught dancing and tried working experience with the delinquents from Colombes. In May 1968, as a 20 years old, when the factory workers locked themselves in their factories of the ceinture rouge, escorted by her group of delinquents, she managed to get the doors unlocked so she could perform a live dance show. A dance for the Others, and never solitary. Still looking desperately for some pure energy, she kept on working alone on her own rhythms, her own steps. Then she came across the Haitian dancer Herns Duplan, a Katherine Dunham’s student, and his class of primitive expression.

After failing to destroy the Việt Minh insurgency through knockout blows in Operation Léa and the later Operation Ceinture, the French supreme command changed tactics again. For financial and economic reasons, France was not able to send more troops to Indochina. The French began to establish outposts on the major roads (Route Coloniale 4 and Route Coloniale 3), to restrict the Việt Minh movement in north-east Tonkin but the Việt Minh was easily able to slip through the cordons and reinforce themselves from across the Chinese border. This would take the war from the stalemate into the first Việt Minh victories from 1949–1950.

Jean Patrick Modiano (; born 30 July 1945), generally known as Patrick Modiano, is a French novelist and recipient of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature. He previously won the 2012 Austrian State Prize for European Literature, the 2010 Prix mondial Cino Del Duca from the Institut de France for lifetime achievement, the 1978 Prix Goncourt for Rue des boutiques obscures, and the 1972 Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française for Les Boulevards de ceinture. His works have been translated into more than 30 languages and have been celebrated in and around France, but most of his novels had not been translated into English before he was awarded the Nobel Prize.

The height of the season for le train bleu was between November and April, when many travellers escaped the British winter to spend time on the French Riviera. Its terminus was at the Gare Maritime in Calais, where it picked up British passengers from the ferries across the English Channel. It departed at 1:00 in the afternoon and stopped at the Gare du Nord in Paris, then travelled around Paris by the Chemin de fer de Petite Ceinture to the Gare de Lyon, where it picked up additional passengers and coaches. It departed Paris early in the evening, and made stops at Dijon, Châlons, and Lyon, before reaching Marseilles early the next morning.

The desire to introduce large freight trains onto the Grande Ceinture gave rise to the project to electrify its southern section with a continuous current of 1500 Volts. At the end of January 1945, the decision was taken to electrify the Valenton-Juvisy (via Orly) section, and electric services on this section were running as early as September of the same year. In its wake, the Juvisy-Versailles and Orly-Massy sections were also electrified, with electric trains going into service on them on February 6, 1947. The radial lines at the exit to gare du Nord and gare de l'Est were electrified, running single-phase 25 kV 50 Hz at the end of the 1950s.

The RER C designation was then only introduced from this point onwards, replacing the Transversal Rive Gauche name. On 25 September 1988, the VMI ("Vallée de Montmorency – Invalides") branch to the north-west opened. This branch mostly used the infrastructure of the "ligne d'Auteuil" (incorporated into the "ligne de petite ceinture" from 1867, closed to passengers from 22 July 1934), and a new tunnel connection between Batignolles and St-Ouen, connecting to the RER C's main trunk at Champ de Mars-Tour Eiffel via a curved bridge (the only one in Paris) over the Seine river. That extended services to Montigny – Beauchamp and Argenteuil. Porte de Clichy opened on 29 September 1991.

Vauban, painted near the end of his life in 1703 Vauban was promoted Maréchal de France in 1703, marking the end of his military career, although the Ceinture de fer proved its worth after the French defeat at Ramillies in 1706. Under pressure from superior forces on multiple fronts, France's northern border remained largely intact despite repeated efforts to break it. Capturing Lille cost the Allies 12,000 casualties and most of the 1708 campaigning season; the lack of progress between 1706–1712 enabled Louis to reach an acceptable deal at Utrecht in 1713, as opposed to the humiliating terms presented in 1707. With more leisure time, Vauban developed a broader view of his role.

From 1863 to 1962, the two-level stone viaduc d'Auteuil (or viaduc du Point-du-Jour) ran across the river at this point, carrying Petite Ceinture trains on its upper level and car traffic on its lower level. When car transport increased on the Boulevards of the Marshals, and since the arches of the existing structure were too low to be passed under by river traffic, it was decided to replace it. Construction began in 1963 under the architect Davy and the engineer Thenault, and the new structure was inaugurated on 1 September 1966. The present structure is named after General Juin's victory at the Battle of Garigliano in Italy in 1944.

Modiano's first novel, La Place de l'étoile, received both the Prix Fénéon and the Prix Roger-Nimier in 1968. He won the Prix Goncourt in 1978 for his novel Rue des boutiques obscures (Missing Person) and the Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française in 1972 for Les Boulevards de ceinture. He also won the 2010 Prix mondial Cino Del Duca from the Institut de France for his lifetime achievement, and the 2012 Austrian State Prize for European Literature. Called the "Marcel Proust of our time", he was awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the art of memory with which he has evoked the most ungraspable human destinies and uncovered the life-world of the Occupation".

He nevertheless maintained an unflinching passion for cosmological subjects, adding to it another one: Ordovician palaeontology, an area in which he occasionally engages in published peer reviewed academic work for over two decades. Marques Guedes attended the Instituto Superior de Ciências Sociais e Políticas, University of Lisbon, where he obtained his first degree in 1975, in administration. In 1976, he obtained a B.Sc. (Honours) in social anthropology from the London School of Economics and Political Science. From London he moved to France, and two years later, in 1978, he received a Diplôme en Anthropologie Sociale from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, the EHESS, in Paris, with a thesis on Thai, Malaysian, Laotian, Cambodian and Vietnamese hunter-gatherers entitled La Ceinture Indochinoise de Chasseurs-Cueilleurs.

A bliaut apparently cut in one piece from neckline to hem depicted on a column figure of a woman at the Cathedral of St. Maurice at Angers has visible side-lacing and is belted at the natural waistline. A new fashion, the bliaut gironé, arose in mid-century: this dress is cut in two pieces, a fitted upper portion with a finely pleated skirt attached to a low waistband. The fitted bliaut was sometimes worn with a long belt or cincture (in French, ceinture) that looped around a slightly raised waist and was knotted over the abdomen; the cincture could have decorative tassels or metal tags at the ends. In England, the fashionable dress was wide at the wrist but without the trumpet-shaped flare from the elbow seen in France.

The album includes a total of 40 tracks, including tracks like a remix of the popular Armenian hit "Mi Gna" featuring Armenian- American DJ Super Sako and Spitakci Hayko, "Corazón" featuring American rapper Lil Wayne, "Loup Garou" featuring French rapper Sofiane, and "La même" featuring French singer Vianney. The album reached #1 in French charts SNEP for eleven weeks. On 26 April 2019, Gims re-released his album Ceinture noire titled Transcendance. The album includes 13 new songs and features collaborations with artists such as Latin singers Maluma and J Balvin, French singer and brother Dadju, French singer Vitaa, and English singer/songwriter Sting. On 6 September 2020, Gims dueted with Egyptian singer and actor Mohamed Ramadan in the song “Ya Habibi”, which is in French and Arabic.

The stele as published in 1704. The stele was first published in 1704 by Jean-Pierre Rigord in an article focused on Rigord’s description of the hieratic script; the article represented the first recognition of a non-hieroglyphic Egyptian script in modern times. Rigord wrote that “I have in my Cabinet an Egyptian Monument that I had engraved here, on which there are historical figures, above a Punic inscription.”Rigord, M., "Lettre de Monsieur Rigord Commissaire de la Marine aux journalistes de Trevoux sur une ceinture de toile trouvée en Egypte autour d'une Mumie." Mémoires pour l'histoire des Sciences et les beaux Arts, Trevoux 4 (1704): 978–1000: “D’ailleurs ce qui doit avoir le plus contribué à introduire ce langage et ce caractere en Egypte, c'est la Dynastie des Rois bergers.

In the Sucy-en-Brie stretch, a train is engaged on the "Complémentaire" in the direction of Noisy-le-Sec. In the background is Gare de Sucy - Bonneuil on RER A. The Grande Ceinture is now entirely dedicated to freight traffic in its northern and eastern section between Sartrouville and Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, linking up the western (Normandy), northern (Picardie, Benelux, Great Britain), east (Lorraine, Alsace, Germany) and south-eastern and south-western routes and their extensions into Italy, Switzerland and Spain, and the connections between the different factories of Île-de-France. It linked up the marshalling yards of Achères, Villeneuve-Saint-Georges and Bourget until the closure of the first two of these in 2005-2006. Intense traffic (more than 200 trains a day) on certain sections, notably in Seine-Saint-Denis, are at saturation level.

The Greater Ring or Intermediate Ring in Brussels, Belgium (French: Moyenne Ceinture, Dutch: Middenring) is a set of roads in the shape of a ring, intermediate between the small ring and the main Brussels ring motorway. The greater part of this set of roads is numbered R21 and is about 30 km long, compared to 8 km for the small ring and 80 km for the main ring. It crosses two highways (A12 and E40-east) and offers a connection to the A10/E40-west at Basilique/Basiliek via Avenue Charles Quint/Keizer Karellaan, to the A12 at Gros Tilleul/Dikke Linde, to the E19-north and N22/A201 at Leopold III via Boulevard Léopold III/Leopold III-laan, to the A3/E40-east at Reyers, to the E411 at Arsena(a)l via Boulevard du Triomphe/Triomflaan and to the E19-south at Paepsem via Boulevard Industriel/Industrielaan. This road passes through tunnels (Boileau tunnel, Montgomery tunnel, Georges Henri tunnel), on bridges and viaducts (e.g.

The idea for Paris' Chemin de Fer de Petite Ceinture originated with its fortifications: rail transport was still relatively new when Paris' city fortifications were completed in 1845, and France's Generals saw the new technology as a means to quickly move troops, machinery, ammunition and provisions between points along the circular wall. An initial 1842 study resulted in three projects for railways to the inside of the fortifications, another between the forts outside them, and another ring in a still larger diameter outside the city, but by 1845 the government's increasingly urgent priority was joining the nation's railways through a Right Bank portion of the inner-fortification rails. The government of the time was too financially burdened to undertake building and managing a railway on its own, so it depended upon France's major rail companies for financial support and management. The post-1848-revolution government was not in an any better position to negotiate and all the Second Republic government's coercive manoeuvring managed to achieve was the rail companies making freight-exchange deals and mergers amongst themselves.

Anticipating further aging in its rolling stock, RATP changed its policy regarding replacement of rolling stock to avoid a massive, simultaneous replacement of all rolling stock. September 28, 1990 marked the approval of the contract to manufacture the MP 89 trains by RATP for an order of 665 cars, with GEC- Alsthom being selected as the manufacturer. In 1994, a prototype MP 89 CA was built for testing at a facility near the Petite Ceinture, the former rail line that encircled Paris. A total of 52 trains for Line 1 and 21 trains for Line 14 were built, totaling 438 cars, fewer than the 665 cars mentioned in the contract. The first MP 89 CC trains went into service on Line 1 on March 27, 1997 and the MP 89 CA trains went into service on Line 14 on October 15, 1998. The MP 89 class was developed initially when the need to replace the original rubber-tyred MP 55 cars of Line 11 was identified, and rolling stock was required for the new Line 14 as well as the anticipation of the extension of Line 1 into the La Défense business district.
