( = rotation) revolution━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━The term la Révolution tranquille refers to the important social, political and cultural transition that took place in Quebec from the early 1960s. As well as rapid economic expansion and a reorganization of political institutions, there was a growing sense of pride among Québécois in their specific identity as French-speaking citizens. The Révolution tranquille is thus seen as a strong affirmation of Quebec's identity as a French-speaking province. → QUÉBEC* * *ʀevɔlysjɔ̃1) ( changement radical) revolution2) ( effervescence) turmoil3) ( de planète) revolution4) Mathématique rotation* * *ʀevɔlysjɔ̃ nf* * *révolution nf1 Pol revolution; provoquer une révolution to bring about a revolution; révolution scientifique/industrielle scientific/industrial revolution; ce livre est une révolution this is a revolutionary book; faire révolution dans to revolutionize; la Révolution (française or de 1789) the French Revolution;2 ( effervescence) turmoil; être en révolution to be in turmoil;4 ( forces) la révolution the revolutionary forces.révolution culturelle Cultural Revolution; révolution de juillet French revolution of July 1830; révolution nationale France's social revolution directed by Maréchal Pétain beginning in 1940; la révolution d'octobre the Russian Revolution ou the October Revolution; révolution de palais palace revolution.[revɔlysjɔ̃] nom fémininune révolution de palais a palace coup ou revolution2.

It was marked by the Declaration of Human Rights, the execution of Louis XVI, the Reign of Terror (1793-94) and war against the other European powers. -
42 Soldes, les
Sales (in the sense of cut-price sales). In theory, France has strict laws governing sales.There are two periods of the year when shops can put on sales, one in January-February ( les Soldes d'hiver), and the other in July ( les Soldes d'été). The precise dates are fixed by the governement, and may vary from town to town. Other than closing-down sales, these periods are the only times of the year when shops can announce that they are having 'sales'.As a result, most shops and traders' associations revert to various other forms of terminology, and sales techniques, to put on events that are soldes in all but name. Les 3-Jours, or Quinzaine commerciale, or journées discount are three examples. Alternatively, shops fill their shelves with special offers.See also Braderie.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

43 UFR
The current designation of the main structural units of French universities, formerly known as Facultés and as UER (Unités d'Enseignement et de Recherche). Until the eudcation reforms following the events of 1968, French universities had little in the way of central structure, but were made up of autonomous Faculties. Les Facultés were officially renamed UER (unités d'enseignement et de recherche), and then later UFR. However, many universities still use the word Faculté to describe some or all of their UFR, particularly where modern UFR correspond to old traditional university faculties, such as a Faculty of Science or a Faculty of Arts ( Faculté des lettres). The word Faculté is rarely used in cases where huge old faculties have been broken down into much smaller units. See higher education in France
