83 Extremism
Compared to most of its European neighbours, France is a country with a surprising level of tolerance of extremism. For instance, in the first round of the 2002 Presidential elections, virtually a third of all votes cast went to an extremist candidate in the first round of voting, on a turnout of 71% of the electorate. Almost 20% of votes went to the extreme right-wing Front National or ex-FN candidates, and 13.81% was split among four trotskyist or communist candidates. While this can be seen in part as a form of protest vote, or lack of confidence in mainstream political parties, it also illustrates the degree to which France remains a polarised society.Extremism has long historic roots in France, going back to absolutism and the collaboration of the Vichy régime on the one hand, and the excesses of the French Revolution on the other. However its current vigour can also be attributed to the fact that mainstream political parties in modern France, on the left and on the right, have done their bit to strenghten the position of extremist parties. Conservative parties have a long history of assimilating centre-left and socialist parties with the Communists and other far-left parties, while the Socialists have persistently sought to make political capital by portraying the mainstream conservative parties as the natural bedfellows of the far right. The paradoxical result has been to give credence and respectability to extremist parties and leaders such as Jean Marie Le Pen of the National Front, or Arlette Laguiller of Lutte Ouvrière.Furthermore, in their keenness to demonstrate even-handedness, French television stations and the media have persistently given coverage to charismatic politicians of the left and the right, turning people such as Le Pen, Laguiller or more recently Olivier Besancenot, into popular chat-show guests.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

84 Impressionists
Name given to a group of avant-garde artists working in Paris and elsewhere, mainly in France, from the 1870s to the 1920s. Though frequently called the "French Impressionists", the Impressionists were actually an international group, and as well as the French painters Monet, Manet, Cézanne, Renoir, Pissaro and Degas, major artists from the group included the Dutch painter Van Gogh, the English painter Sisley and the American Mary Cassat, among others. The name "Impressionists" was taken from the title of a painting by Claude Monet displayed at an exhibition of works by avant-garde artists in Paris in 1874. The name rapidly became used to describe a style of figurative painting concerned more with the effects of light and colour on objects and scenes, than with objective portrayal of these objects, scenes or people. The vivid techniques of colour and light effects pioneered by the Impressionists had a lasting impact on the development of art in the twentieth century; in particular they influenced the significant movements in European art, including pointillism and the post-impressionists such as Signac, Fauvism with the works of Matisse and Vlaminck, the Nabis such as Bonnard and Vuillard, and even Cubism.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

ВАРИТЬСЯ В СОБСТВЕННОМ СОКУ coll VP subj: human to live, work etc alone or within a very small circle of people, often being deprived of the opportunity to confer with others or benefit from their experienceX варится в собственном соку - X is left to his own resourcesX is cut off from his colleagues (fellow NPs) etc).После окончания института молодой врач попал в маленькую сельскую больницу, где он варился в собственном соку, не имея возможности ни с кем посоветоваться. After graduating from medical school the young doctor ended up in a small country hospital, where he was left to his own resources, without anyone to consult with.В больнице теперь были новые правила: всех иностранцев перевели на один этаж, чтобы изолировать от «отечественных» больных. Только выходившие гулять в сад могли перекинуться словом с русским. Это раздражало иностранцев, варившихся в собственном соку (Аллилуева 2). ( context transl) The hospital had new rules nowall foreigners had been moved to one floor, so as to isolate them from "native" patients. Only those who went for walks in the garden could exchange a few words with Russians. This annoyed the foreigners, who got tired of each other's company (2a).Apparently a loan translation (but with a different sense) of the French cuire dans son jus or the English "to stew in one's own juice."

• ВАРИТЬСЯ В СОБСТВЕННОМ СОКУ coll[VP; subj: human]=====⇒ to live, work etc alone or within a very small circle of people, often being deprived of the opportunity to confer with others or benefit from their experience:- X is cut off from his colleagues (fellow [NPs] etc).♦ После окончания института молодой врач попал в маленькую сельскую больницу, где он варился в собственном соку, не имея возможности ни с кем посоветоваться. After graduating from medical school the young doctor ended up in a small country hospital, where he was left to his own resources, without anyone to consult with.♦ В больнице теперь были новые правила: всех иностранцев перевели на один этаж, чтобы изолировать от "отечественных" больных. Только выходившие гулять в сад могли перекинуться словом с русским. Это раздражало иностранцев, варившихся в собственном соку (Аллилуева 2). [context transl] The hospital had new rules now: all foreigners had been moved to one floor, so as to isolate them from "native" patients. Only those who went for walks in the garden could exchange a few words with Russians. This annoyed the foreigners, who got tired of each other's company (2a).—————← Apparently a loan translation (but with a different sense) of the French cuire dans son jus or the English "to stew in one's own juice."

Drawing on philosophical ideas that developed during the Enlightenment, it declares the natural and inalienable right of all people to freedom, ownership of property and equality before the law, as well as the universal right of all nations to sovereignty and the separation of powers. It has always been used as a basis for the French Constitution.* * *deklaʀasjɔ̃1) ( communication publique) gén statement; ( officielle) declaration ( sur about)2) Administration notificationdéclaration de naissance — ( enregistrement) registration of birth; ( information) notification of birth

[aveu] declarationfaire une déclaration d'amour ou sa déclaration (à quelqu'un) to declare one's love (to somebody)People in France are required to declare their taxable earnings at the beginning of the year for the previous calendar year. Thrice-yearly tax payments ( tiers provisionnels) are based on one third of the previous year's total, the final payment being adjusted according to the actual tax owed. It is also possible to pay tax on a monthly basis. This is known as mensualisation.Adopted by the National Assembly on 4th August 1789, the Declaration proclaims the inalienable natural right of all men to freedom, condemns the privileged class of the Ancien Régime and declares all citizens equal before the law. In 1793, the preface to the Constitution added the right to education, work and freedom of assembly to the text of 1789. -

96 Lip
Iconic French watch manufacturer, the most spectacular victim of the collapse of the French watch industry in the early 1970s. In 1973, the Lip factory in Besançon became a symbol of worker contestation; employees refused to accept the closure of the plant, and took it over in an act of defiance. Watch production continued for several weeks, until the plant was stormed by riot police. 100,000 people gathered in Besançon on 29th September, in support of the workers, but eventually the plant was closed down and sold to businessman Claude Neuschwander. Production started up again, but the company was unable to compete against cheap eastern imports, and went into liquidation in 1976. Later, the brand name was bought, and Lipwatches are again produced - but mostly in China. A few are produced in France, but not in Besançon. -

98 Légion d'honneur
Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur (National Order of the Legion of Honour) Established in 1802 by Napoleon, the Légion d'Honneur is the highest civil and military decoration in France. The order is divided into five grades: Chevalier (Knight), Officier (Officer), Commandeur (Commander), Grand Officier (Grand Officer) and Grand-Croix (Grand Cross). The Grand Master of the order is the French head of state, i.e. the President. The award is given to people of exceptional merit in all walks of life, rather like an OBE or a knighthood in the UK. it cannot however be awarded to members of parliament (Députés). People who have received this award frequently show this - notably on formal occasions - by wearing a very discreet small red lapel band.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.
