Where its name comes from

Kind of name: Commemorative name
Theme: Historical references

Le sens du mot 'Privilèges' n'a pas particulièrement évolué au fil du temps. Lorsque l'avenue Charles Quint fut créée, la commune a souhaité faire revivre le passé médiéval de la région. (remark in French, as published)
