Use of the word "corn" corrected to "wheat"[edit]

This article mistakenly used the word "corn" (maize in French) instead of the correct translation for the French word "blés" (wheat in English). The building currently known as "Bourse de Commerce" was initially named "Halles de Blés" (Wheat Exchange) after its construction was completed in 1767. At the time of the construction of the Bourse de Commerce, corn was a relatively minor crop in France compared to wheat.

Corn (maize) was introduced to France shortly after it was brought to Europe following the Columbian Exchange in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. However, its widespread adoption in France took longer. By the 17th century, corn had become more commonly cultivated, especially in southern France where the climate was more suitable for its growth. The widespread adoption of corn in French agriculture and diet significantly increased in the 18th century, as it became an important crop for both human consumption and animal feed. 0gravitytampabay (talk) 03:08, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
