Commentary
La ligne de Paris-Lyon à Marseille-Saint-Charles, appelée aussi « Ligne PLM » d'après le sigle de l'ancienne Compagnie des chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée, ou encore « artère impériale » ou « ligne impériale » parce qu'elle fut empruntée par Napoléon III, est une ligne de chemin de fer de 863 km reliant les trois premières agglomérations urbaines françaises : Paris, Lyon et Marseille. Exploitée depuis 1857 par le PLM, puis après 1938 par la SNCF, elle est l'artère maîtresse du réseau ferroviaire français. Elle traverse quatre régions : Île-de-France, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes et Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur..
Historical background
IV REPUBLIC
(16/01/1947-8/01/1959)
Characterized by a parliamentary regime coupled with great ministerial instability, the Fourth Republic has the particularity of never having been officially proclaimed. Indeed, De Gaulle, when he arrived in Paris on August 25, 1944, refused to do so on the pretext that the Republic had never ceased to exist. Considering that the French State of Marshal Pétain was only a simple state of affairs, he considers that the Republic survived in free France and his birth certificate must then be June 18, 1940. However, his departure, the January 20, 1946, and the referendum of October 13, 1946 approving a new Constitution, mark the official beginning of this republic. It knows two presidents: Vincent Auriol (16/01/1947 - 23/12/1953) and René Coty (23/12/1953 - 8/1/1959). The open crisis caused by the revolt of the army of Algeria leads, in 1958, to its fall which is confirmed by the adoption of a new constitution on September 28, 1958. Nevertheless, it does not cease definitively until the 8 January 1959 when General de Gaulle was installed as President of the Fifth Republic.
