Ligue 1 (Première Division or Division 1 until 2003) is the top division of French football, one of two divisions making up the LFP, the other being Ligue 2.
Ligue 1 teams standing on equal points are ranked by goal difference (goals scored minus goals conceded) and, if still even, by the number of goals scored.
Ligue 1 is generally regarded as competently run, with good planning of fixtures, complete and consistently enforced rules, timely resolution of issues, and adequate escalation procedures of judicial disputes to national or international institutions.

BASTIA, December 19 (Ligue 1) - Lille are secure in the knowledge that they will not spend Christmas in the relegation zone but that is about the only crumb of comfort for coach Claude Puel ahead of Saturday's trip to Bastia.
Bastia were also eliminated from the Coupe de la Ligue by Ligue 2 opposition in the shape of Gueugnon and after being nailed by Les Forgerons (The Blacksmiths) they will be eager not to be mauled by the visitors.
The Corsicans are in better shape than their visitors and are 12th in Ligue 1 but know that they can not afford to lose games like this and themselves have something to prove with only one win in their last eight Ligue 1 matches.

In the reform articles which he presented (2 Jan., 1563), he was silent on the last point, but petitioned for the other two.
He distinguished himself in 1647 and 1654 during the revolt of the Neapolitan Masaniello against Spain by the two ineffectual attempts which he made, with the consent of France, to wrest from the Spaniards for his own benefit the throne of Naples, to which he revived his family's former pretension.
