Denain is a commune in the Nord department in northern France. In 1999 Denain had a population of 20,360, on a land area of 11.52 km² (4.448 sq mi). It is the largest of 39 communes which comprise the association of communes of Porte du Hainaut, which in 1999 had a total population of 147,989. == History == A mere village in the beginning of the 19th century, it rapidly increased from 1850 onwards, and, according to the census of 1906, possessed 22,845 inhabitants, more than its 1999 population. Its vicinity was the scene of the decisive victory gained in 1712 by Marshal Villars over the allies commanded by Prince Eugene of Savoy; and the battlefield is marked by a monolithic monument inscribed with the verses of Voltaire: "''フランス語:Regardez dans Denain l'audacieux Villars/Disputant le tonnerre à l'aigle des Césars.''"〔 ("See in Denain bold Villars/Fighting the eagle of the Caesars"). Former mayor Patrick Roy was also a deputy and became famous for the support to the heavy-metal music he expressed at the National Assembly on various occasions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Denain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
