Commentary
La ligne de Paris-Nord à Lille est l’une des grandes artères radiales du réseau ferré français. D’une longueur de 251 kilomètres, elle relie Paris à Lille, à travers les régions Île-de-France et Hauts-de-France. Tracée le plus souvent en fond de vallée ou en plaine dans le relief peu accentué du Nord de la France, cette grande radiale possède un profil plutôt favorable et un équipement de bon niveau, autorisant des vitesses assez élevées..
The Paris-Nord to Lille line is one of the major radial arteries of the French rail network. With a length of 251 kilometers, it connects Paris to Lille, through the Île-de-France and Hauts-de-France regions. Most often routed along valley floors or plains in the gently rolling terrain of northern France, this major radial line has a rather favorable profile and good-quality equipment, allowing for fairly high speeds.

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.
