巴黎
巴黎，法國(guó)的首都及最大的城市，位于法國(guó)的中北部。巴黎的大都會(huì)區(qū)擁有全國(guó)將近20％的人口,是法國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)、文化和政治中心。歷史上，法國(guó)政府一直熱衷于把巴黎作為決策之地，因此，全國(guó)幾乎所有的活動(dòng)都被吸引到這兒來了。
在10世紀(jì)末，巴黎被定為法國(guó)的首都。從此以后，它穩(wěn)步發(fā)展起來。隨著工業(yè)革命的到來，大批的人在19世紀(jì)從農(nóng)村遷入這個(gè)城市。鐵路的修建更激起了移民大潮，因?yàn)殍F路使人們?nèi)ナ锥几鼮榉奖恪５诙问澜绱髴?zhàn)以后，國(guó)外的移民也來到了此地。
法國(guó)大部分全國(guó)性的廣播電臺(tái)和電視臺(tái)都集中在巴黎。大多數(shù)最著名的報(bào)紙和雜志也在巴黎出版。這里還是國(guó)際圖書出版地。巴黎有100多個(gè)博物館，可謂世界上藝術(shù)珍品的最大集聚地之一。l793年開始對(duì)外開放的盧浮宮是世界上最龐大的博物館之一。
20世紀(jì)80年代末，巴黎每年有410萬小學(xué)生就讀于4．7萬所小學(xué)里。此外，還有1．12萬所中學(xué)和540萬中學(xué)生。20世紀(jì)80年代末，法國(guó)每年約有l(wèi)20萬學(xué)生升人大學(xué)或?qū)W院學(xué)習(xí).法國(guó)的學(xué)術(shù)中心為全世界所景仰和效仿。
巴黎是法國(guó)的主要工業(yè)中心。全國(guó)大約1／4的工業(yè)都集中在巴黎的城區(qū)。由于這里人口眾多、市場(chǎng)廣闊，消費(fèi)品工業(yè)也被吸引到了這里。第二次世界大戰(zhàn)后，現(xiàn)代高科技產(chǎn)業(yè)的數(shù)量也越來越多。它們主要生產(chǎn)機(jī)械產(chǎn)品、汽車、化學(xué)品和電器。 |
