General Topology, chapter VI, § 3. Real projective spaces

The projective space P_n(R) endowed with the quotient topology of the topology of R_{n+1}^* by the equivalence relation Δ_n(R) is called real projective space of n dimensions.

The projective space P_1(R) is called the real projective line, and P_2(R) is called the real projective plane.

Whenever there is no risk of confusion, we shall write P_n and Δ_n instead of P_n(R) and Δ_n(R).

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
