  • Paris History Early History Julius Caesar Conquered Paris in 52 BC It
    Paris History Early History Julius Caesar conquered Paris in 52 B.C. It was then a fishing village, called Lutetia Parisiorum (the Parisii were a Gallic tribe), on the Île de la Cité. Under the Romans the town spread to the left bank and acquired considerable importance under the later emperors. The vast catacombs under Montparnasse and the baths (now in the Cluny Mus.) remain from the Roman period. Legend says that St. Denis, first bishop of Paris, was martyred on Montmartre (hence the name) and that in the 5th cent. St. Geneviève, the patron saint of Paris, preserved the city from destruction by the Huns. On several occasions in its early history Paris was threatened by barbarian and Norman invasions, which at times drove the inhabitants back to the Île de la Cité. Clovis I and several other Merovingian kings made Paris their capital; under Charlemagne it became a center of learning. In 987, Hugh Capet, count of Paris, became king of France. The Capetians firmly established Paris as the French capital. The city grew as the power of the French kings increased. In the 11th cent. the city spread to the right bank. During the next two centuries—the reign of Philip Augustus (1180–1223) is especially notable for the growth of Paris—streets were paved and the city walls enlarged; the first Louvre (a fortress) and several churches, including Notre-Dame, were constructed or begun; and the schools on the left bank were organized into the Univ. of Paris. One of them, the Sorbonne, became a fountainhead of theological learning with Albertus Magnus and St.

Objectif général: Chaque élève réalise une plage d'audio-guide qui sera écoutée lors de la visite des différents lieux marquants du Paris antique. Par groupes de deux, les élèves font ensuite une recherche approfondie sur une oeuvre du Louvre en rapport avec la mythologie et l'histoire romaines afin de proposer un document publisher mais aussi de réaliser une autre plage audio-guide qui sera elle aussi écoutée lors de la visite. Chaque plage s'achèvera sur une question posée par l'élève qui l'a réalisée. L'ensemble des questions permettra de réaliser deux questionnaires qui seront les fils conducteurs de la journée.

With 100 rooms and suites, two restaurants including the only Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant in France, one bar and four historic events and reception rooms, guests may look forward to a princely stay in a historic retreat. A Refined Setting in the Heart of Paris’ Most Chic and Discreet Neighbourhood Passing through the original iron gates, guests arrive in a small, protected courtyard under the restored glass porte cochere. Two Ming Dynasty inspired vases flank the entryway and set the tone from the outset for Asia-meets-Paris elegance. To the right, visitors take a step back in time to 1896 as they enter the historic billiard room with a fireplace, fumoir and waiting room. Bathed in natural light, the hotel lobby features high ceilings and refurbished marble. Its thoughtfully placed alcoves offer discreet nooks for guests to consult with Shangri-La personnel. Imperial insignias and ornate monograms of Prince Roland Bonaparte, subtly integrated into the Page 2 architecture, are complemented with Asian influence in the decor and ambience of the hotel and its restaurants, bar and salons.
