1 Pompidou Centre
Also known popularly as " Beaubourg". Located on Place Beaubourg, in the Marais district of Central Paris, the Centre Pompidou is one of the most visited museums in Paris, thanks to its collection of modern and contemporary European art, and its large public reference library with facilities for over 2,000 readers, its theatres and its lecture rooms. The glass steel and concrete building, designed by the Richard Rogers partnership, and opened in 1977, is one of the most remarkable examples of 1970's architecture. It is distinguished by having most of its service infrastucture (lifts, escalators, utility ducts) on the outside of the building.In May 2010, a satellite of the Pompidou Centre opened in the city of Metz, in Lorraine. This brand-new museum will show a selection of works from the Paris collection, including some of the finest, and also stage its own exhibitions.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

The very unusual design of the Centre national d'art et de culture Georges Pompidou was the subject of much controversy when it was built in 1977, but today it is the second most visited building in France. It houses a modern art gallery, a cinema, an open-stack library and other cultural exhibits. -

4 Giscard d'Estaing, Valéry
(adj. Giscardien)Born 1926President of France from 1974 to 1981. Valéry Giscard d'Estaing succeed Georges Pompidou as French president, thereby putting an end to 16 years of Gaullist presidency. Though a conservative, Giscard was from the UDF, the centre right party in the conservative coalition of the time.On becoming president, Giscard promised change after a decade and a half of Gaullist rule: more Atlanticist and pro-European than previous presidents, he nevertheless failed to embody the change that many people wanted, and was not reelected for a second term. He tried to give the French presidency more popular appeal than it previously enjoyed, and make it seem closer to ordinary Frenchmen, but his changes were more symbolic than real, and included walking down the Champs Elysées in a sweater rather than a suit, and inviting himself to dinner with ordinary French families from time to time.After his defeat at the 1981 Presidential election, Giscard returned to politics as an ordinary Député (MP), and also became strongly involved in local politics in his region, the Auvergne, becoming President of the Regional Council from 1986 to 2004.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.
