  • Tours & Transp Or T
    With a combination of highly-frequented tourist areas and some hidden treasures, Paris is an accessible city, appreciated for its charm and pleasurable way of life. Easy to get around, the city has a user-friendly public transport infrastructure covering the whole of the capital, with an underground and bus network in constant development. A more unusual way to discover the city in style is to hire a chauffeured limousine or to have a very French tour of Paris in a 2CV, the famous Citroën convertible … Mixing transport with culture, many companies provide regular tours in Paris and in the Paris region. The River Seine constitutes an original route through Paris … and is certainly an excellent way to enjoy delightful views of the very heart of the city. Finally, incoming agencies are also an invaluable aid in helping to organize bespoke tours. They have specialist knowledge of the Paris destination and the specific characteristics of the nationalities visiting the French capital. Their expertise and resources enable them to organize all events, transport and programmes for individuals and/or groups as well as excursions, visits and other activities.

  • Enlightenment Walking Tour 4
    France and Paris were changed dramatically by the Enlightenment and ensuing French Revolution. Likewise, many of the monuments and buildings you’ll see on this walk were “reinvented” during the 18th century. The Panthéon, where this walk starts, began as a church sponsored by an absolute monarch and ended the century as a monument to the country’s most famous Enlightenment figures. The place de la Concorde, where the walk ends, saw one monarch celebrated with a statue and another executed on the same site. Saint-Sulpice and Saint- Thomas-d’Aquin were transformed from churches to secular “temples” and back to churches again. And the Palais du Luxembourg, Hôtel de Salm, and Palais Bourbon, homes at the beginning of the century to royalty and aristocrats, ended the century as homes to the country’s newly created democratic institutions. In addition to showcasing neoclassical buildings and monuments, the walk also provides an opportunity to wander through part of the Saint-Germain des Prés quarter, one of the city’s most lively and interesting neighborhoods. Start: Panthéon (Métro: Maubert Mutualité) Finish: Place de la Concorde (Métro: Concorde) Distance: 3 miles Time: 3 - 4 hours Best Days: Any day Copyright © Ann Branston 2011 HISTORY Religion and Philosophy Politics and Economics The political and economic situation in 18th-century France provided fertile As the 18th century began, France’s monarchy and the Catholic church ground for Enlightenment philosophers (know as “philosophes”) who (known later collectively as the “ancien régime”) were at the apex of their believed that natural “scientific” laws could be applied to social, economic power and glory.

  • Victor Hugo's Paris J-Term Course in Paris, France, 2019
    Victor Hugo’s Paris J-Term course in Paris, France, 2019 (ISHU 3720) BIS Program, School of Continuing and Professional Studies December 28, 2018-January 10, 2019 Syllabus DRAFT NB: Details may change because of specialists’ availability, site openings, weather or text availability. Program Director & Instructor: Marva Barnett Professor Emeritus (formerly professor at the UVA Center for Teaching Excellence and in the Drama and French Departments) Important Contact Info Marva Barnett’s cell in France: US cell: TBA Assistant’s US cell in France: TBA “To study in Paris is to be born in Paris!” « Étudier à Paris, c’est être né à Paris! » ― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables I, 3, ii “Whoever contemplates the depths of Paris is seized with vertigo. Nothing is more fantastic, nothing is more tragic, nothing is more superb.” « Qui regarde au fond de Paris a le vertige. Rien de plus fantasque, rien de plus tragique, rien de plus superbe. » ― Victor Hugo, Introduction to Paris-Guide, Part III, 1867 “To stray is human; to saunter is Parisian.” « Errer est humain, flâner est parisien. » ― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables III, 4, i Note: To get Hugo’s joke, you need to understand the French pun. “Errer” means both “to err” and “to stray, or get lost” and “errer est humain“ is as familiar as our “to err is human.” Course Description: One might argue, as slate.fr has, that Victor Hugo is Paris. A great Romantic poet and world-renowned novelist and social-justice fighter, Victor Hugo dominated nineteenth-century Paris. Students taking this BIS-affiliated J-Term course, “Victor Hugo’s Paris” will explore the City of Lights from literary, historical, artistic, biographical and cultural perspectives.

  • Today, Friday, April 10Th, We Wake up in Paris! Paris Will Be Our Home for the Next 2 Days
    Today, Friday, April 10th, we wake up in Paris! Paris will be our home for the next 2 days. I am tingling with ex- citement! Have I told you that Paris is my favorite city in the world!! Paris is separated, both geographically and politically, into twenty arrondissements which are organized on a map in a spi- ral fashion like the shell of a snail. Each arrondissement is numbered with the most central (around the Louvre) numbered 1 and then increase progressively until the furthest and most east arrondissement, which is numbered 20.. You will also notice references to the Left and Right banks which separate Paris into the ar- rondissements north of the Seine (Right Bank/Rive Droite) and the area south of the Seine (Left Bank/Rive Gauche). These terms are from the Middle Ages and reference direction based on a downstream orientation. To help further define geography, hotels, museums, restaurants and other establishments usually reference the metro station(s) which is closest to the establishment. (for example, M-Invalides, M-Ecole Militaire). Paris has a terrific Metro system and many of the sites, such as Versailles, outside of the city also have train service from Paris. There are simple apps you can download to your phone for the Metro. The distance from the center of Paris (the Louvre) to most of the tourist’s sites in any direction is about 1.5 miles so if you prefer to walk, you might not use the Metro at all. The bus system, RER, is a little more complicated but once you get the hang of it, it is a great way to get to your destination.

  • WALK 2 | Jardin Du Luxembourg Start – Metro Station, Line 4 St-Germain-Des-Prés Approximate Length: 3.4 Km
    WALK 2 | Jardin du Luxembourg Start – Metro Station, Line 4 St-Germain-des-Prés Approximate Length: 3.4 km 7 8 10 9 N U = Underground Metro Station = Optional route Emerging from the Metro station, you will be on Boulevard Saint Germain. Go to Place Saint Germain des Prés. Pass by the café Les Deux Magots, and in the middle of the plaza across from the church, you will find a Wallace Fountain. Fountain 7 Place St. Germain des Prés, 6th Arr. This fountain is near the entrance to the old abbey church, Saint Germain des Prés. In warm months, the fountain is surrounded by outdoor seating for nearby cafes and restaurants. One 7 cafe is Les Deux Magots, made famous by its former clientele - lost generation writers, surrealist artists, and existentialist philosophers. Today, the cafe attracts tourists and those who want to feel they rubbed shoulders with the ghosts of long dead French intellectuals. Perhaps Hemingway or Sartre drank from this Wallace Fountain after they had too much to drink at Les Deux Magots. Saint Germain des Prés is the oldest church in Paris with parts dating back to the sixth century. If you have time, look inside. Undergoing renovation, it is slowly being restored to its original glory. Cross Boulevard St-Germain and walk south on Rue Bonaparte until you arrive at Place Saint-Sulpice. In the square and across the street from the town hall of the 6th arrondissement is a Wallace Fountain. Fountain 8 Place Saint-Sulpice, 6th Arr. At the southwest corner of the square stands the fountain.

  • Paris Le Meurice
    PARIS LE MEURICE Two day itinerary: Parks & Gardens The city of Paris is home to more than 400 green spaces, ranging from grandiose historic parks to quaint hidden gardens frequented only by those who know where to find them. When in need of some peace and quiet, follow Parisians into secret corners of solace around the city, discover rare plant life in the capital’s botanical gardens, or relax in the impressive grounds of noble estates that date back many centuries. Day One Walk across the road from the hotel to the Jardin des Tuileries. JARDIN DES TUILERIES Rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris Overlooked by the Louvre, Tuileries Gardens is more than a garden; it’s a historic landmark. Created by Queen Catherine de Medici, the park stretches alongside the River Seine and is a beautiful spot for a morning amble. Stroll along the picturesque avenues and soak up the imperial ambience of the Palais des Tuileries, which once stood there, or picnic by the ponds. Next, take a 15-minute drive to Jardin Anne-Frank. JARDIN ANNE-FRANK 14 Impasse Berthaud, 75003 Paris Located next to the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire du Judaïsme, Jardin Anne-Frank is a small walled garden with great symbolism. The little-known space is dedicated to Anne Frank, author of one of the most famous diaries in the world. In a prime spot a treasured chestnut tree grows, cultivated from saplings taken from a tree Frank had admired from the window of her Amsterdam apartment. Take a 15-minute walk to Square René Viviani.
