83 Diagonale du vide, la
A.k.a. Diagonale aride: a large swathe of land running across France from northeast (the Meuse plain) to southwest (the central Pyrenees), via the southern Massif Central, where, for most of the twentieth century population was falling and the economy in decline, due to rural exodus. Since the start of the twenty-first century, the population in this area, covering some twenty departments, has at last begun to increase again, as a result of longer life-expectancy and of repopulation by emigrants from the cities and other parts of Europe.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

88 Joly, Eva
Of Franco-Norwegian origin, Eva Joly was one of France's high profile investigating magistrates before becoming better known as a militant environmental campaigner. In 2011, she was selected to run as the candidate of Europe-Ecologie-les Verts, the French Green party, in the 2012 presidential election. Forthright and outspoken in a manner uncommon in the world of French politics, she caused major stirs in the early days of campaigning, but lost a lot of support as a result, even from supposed allies in the environmental movement.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

89 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.
