paix
/paix/Roman
English meaning: Peace
Definition
Freedom from conflict. France and Germany's post-WWII reconciliation and integration through the European project is one of history's greatest peace-building achievements — transforming historic enemies into partners. The EU, born partly from this reconciliation, is the world's most successful multilateral institution.
Example
“La réconciliation franco-allemande a été la base de la construction européenne.”
In English: “French-German reconciliation was the foundation of European construction.”
Literary Heritage
“L'homme est né libre, et partout il est dans les fers.”
“Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.”
