Banlieue is the French word for "outskirts. " It comes from the two French words ban and lieue ("league", roughly four kilometers), and thus describes the zone around a city that is under the city's rule. The old French term was faubourg for suburb. Some dictionaries translate banlieue as suburb, but while both the French word banlieue and the English word suburb both refer to residential areas on the outer edge of a city, in everyday usage their meanings can be quite different.

  • Banlieue is the French word for "outskirts. " It comes from the two French words ban and lieue ("league", roughly four kilometers), and thus describes the zone around a city that is under the city's rule. The old French term was faubourg for suburb. Some dictionaries translate banlieue as suburb, but while both the French word banlieue and the English word suburb both refer to residential areas on the outer edge of a city, in everyday usage their meanings can be quite different. In England, the word suburb generally connotes areas of low-density, detached or semi-detached housing, inhabited by the middle and upper classes, whereas in France the word banlieue is more frequently used to describe areas of low-income apartments and social housing. (Nonetheless, a banlieue may be rich or poor; Versailles, Le Vésinet, Orsay and Neuilly-sur-Seine are affluent banlieues of Paris, while Clichy-sous-Bois is a poor one. ) Its colloquial equivalent in America would be "the projects". In the UK, equivalent terms would be a "Housing Estate" or "Council Estate".
  • Banlieue [bɑ̃ˈljø] ist der französische Ausdruck für eine Vorstadt im Sinne der Gesamtheit der Vororte einer Großstadt. Es ist nicht ein einzelner Vorort gemeint. Historisch entstand die Bezeichnung für den Bereich von einer Meile um die Stadt, der noch der städtischen Gerichtsbarkeit unterstand.
  • バンリュー(Banlieue)はフランス語で「郊外」という意味である。フランスで「郊外(バンリュー)」が問題になる場合は、パリなど大都市郊外の、移民が多い貧しい公営住宅地帯を指す場合が多い。 文字通りの意味はBan(禁止された)Lieue(マイル・もしくはリーグ)で、かつて商業を行う城壁都市を取り巻くように設置された、認可された商取引以外が禁止されていた地域のことである。また立ち入り禁止の区域という意味であったとも、布告(バン)の声が届く範囲の1リーグという意味であったとも、諸説ある。 フランスでは英米と違い、ジョルジュ・オスマン男爵による19世紀のパリ大改造の影響もあって、通常、大都市の都心部やかつての城壁の中に当たる街区が最もグレードの高い住宅地で、郊外はどちらかといえば家賃の低い区域である。郊外には高級住宅地もあれば貧しい地域もあるが、パリ西部のイヴリーヌ県のヴェルサイユ、ル・ヴェジネ(Le Vésinet)、オー=ド=セーヌ県のヌイイ=シュル=セーヌ(Neuilly-sur-Seine)などは裕福な郊外で、一方、北東部のセーヌ=サン=ドニ県、とりわけクリシー=ス=ボワ(Clichy-sous-Bois)は貧困な郊外である。
