Situ\u00e9\u00a0\u00e0 l\u2019<\/strong>Ouest de Paris, la D\u00e9fense est le plus\u00a0grand quartier d\u2019affaires d’Europe<\/strong>. Il est symboliquement marqu\u00e9 par la pr\u00e9sence de la Grande Arche<\/strong> construite dans l\u2019alignement de l\u2019Arc de Triomphe<\/strong>. Mais au fait\u2026 Pourquoi\u00a0ce nom ?<\/p>\n

La D\u00e9fense<\/strong> tient son nom d\u2019une statue. Pas du Pouce<\/strong> <\/em>de C\u00e9sar<\/strong> qui se trouve sur le parvis, mais de La D\u00e9fense de Paris<\/strong><\/em>, oeuvre r\u00e9alis\u00e9e\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>pour c\u00e9l\u00e9brer la m\u00e9moire des victimes du si\u00e8ge de Paris<\/strong><\/a>. En effet, en 1870<\/strong>, la Prusse est sur le point d\u2019envahir la capitale quand Napol\u00e9on III est d\u00e9mis de ses fonctions\u00a0suite \u00e0 la capitulation de Sedan. Pour prot\u00e9ger Paris<\/strong>, un gouvernement de D\u00e9fense nationale est mis en place. Des canons sont install\u00e9s et les fortifications autour de la capitale remises en \u00e9tat. Malgr\u00e9 un hiver tr\u00e8s rude, les Parisiens tiennent jusqu\u2019au cessez-le-feu en janvier 1871<\/strong> qui met fin \u00e0 un si\u00e8ge de six mois. Paris,\u00a0rest\u00e9e libre,\u00a0<\/strong>perd 24\u00a0000 soldats<\/strong> au cours du si\u00e8ge. C\u2019est en l\u2019honneur de ces victimes<\/strong> que La D\u00e9fense de Paris <\/em>est construite.<\/p>\n

Un appel \u00e0 projet<\/strong> a \u00e9t\u00e9 lanc\u00e9 en 1879<\/strong> pour cette sculpture. C\u2019est Louis-Ernest Barrias<\/strong> qui le remporte, face \u00e0 une centaine d\u2019artistes dont Gustave Dor\u00e9, Auguste Rodin<\/strong> ou encore Auguste Bartholdi. La sculpture est inaugur\u00e9e en 1883<\/strong>, accompagn\u00e9e d\u2019un d\u00e9fil\u00e9 militaire. Elle se trouvait \u00e0 ses d\u00e9buts au carrefour de Courbevoie,<\/strong> l\u2019actuel rond-point de la D\u00e9fense. D\u00e9plac\u00e9e \u00e0 plusieurs reprises pour les diff\u00e9rents travaux du quartier de la D\u00e9fense, on peut aujourd\u2019hui la voir sur l\u2019<\/strong>esplanade, \u00e0 mi-chemin entre la Grande Arche et la Seine.<\/p>\n
