EARLY HISTORY OF PARIS:
Paris is more than 2,000 years old. The Gauls of the Parisii tribe settled there between 250 and 200 BC and founded a fishing village on an island in the river that is the present-day Ile de la Cité; which is the center around which Paris developed.
Paris was known as Lutetia (Lutece) in ancient times, Paris was conquered by Julius Caesar in 52 BC, and existed as a regional center under the Romans and in the early Middle Ages.
In 987, HUGH CAPET, Count of Paris, became king of France, and under his successors, the CAPETIANS, the city's position as the nation's capital became established.
Often characterized as spirited and rebellious, the people of Paris first declared themselves an independent commune under the leadership of Etienne Marcel in 1355-58. Then the storming of the Bastille in 1789 was the first of a series of key actions by the Parisian people during the French Revolution.

We were there in August of 1999.

It is named after Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970), leader of the Free French Forces and founder of the French Fifth Republic.
