Welcome to Study Abroad in Angers, France. The time that you spend abroad will be both educational and exciting. Living within a new culture and speaking a foreign language are challenging yet the experiences that you have and the lasting friendships that you make will be treasured souvenirs. Enclosed are information about Angers and the Catholic University of the West to help ease you into your new home. Angers is the historic capital of the Anjou region in western France. Known as a lively university town, Angers counts nearly 33,000 students among its 260,000 inhabitants. With its historic universities and textile mills and contemporary high-tech industries, Angers has served as an important cultural and industrial center since the Middle Ages. The chateaux and wine cellars of the nearby Loire valley also contribute to the character of this region. Angers is a town that is known for its quality of life. Those who visit Angers will appreciate the castles, flowers, fruit, wine, and above all, the quality of the language of the region. This area is renowned for what is known as “la douceur angevine”. Angers is a historic as well as a modern city. The “Apocalypse” is the oldest and largest tapestry in the world, dates from the 14th century, and is displayed in the 13th century castle located in Angers. Le Chant du Monde from the 20th century and the Regional Center of Textile Art also testify to the vivaciousness of the art. Art, in all its forms, finds expression in Angers: dance, theater, music, and opera. As a modern city, Angers is steadfastly turned towards the future: one finds there, along with the traditional industries (slate mining, clothing, liqueurs and metallurgy) the advanced technologies such as data processing, plant biotechnology, biological and medical science. Angers also enjoys its reputation as a major horticulture center, becoming the most famous flowered city in Europe. As a city that has 148,000 inhabitants and 250,000 including the suburban areas, Angers is the principal city of the youngest department in France. Thanks to the T.G.V., a high- speed train, Angers is only an hour and a half from Paris, providing an excellent base from which to discover French culture. For more information about the town of Angers, we recommend that you visit the town’s website. http://www.ville-angers.fr/ 2 Getting to Angers from Paris By the time you arrive at Charles de Gaulle airport just outside of Paris, you will probably feel both jetlagged and excited. Getting to your new home in Angers is probably next on your agenda, and the trip is fairly simple from the airport. In order to get to Angers, you can take a train from the Gare Roissy/Charles de Gaulle located in the airport. After collecting your luggage at baggage claim, follow the signs toward the tram which will take you to the Gare TGV Roissy/Charles de Gaulle. Once there you can buy a train ticket to Angers St. Laud for approximately 50€ to 60€. You can look up train schedules for any destination in France through the SNCF website. The SNCF is the French national train company. http://www.sncf.com. L’Université Catholique de l’Ouest The Université Catholique de l’Ouest is a private institution of higher education with approximately 11,000 students. Degree programs are offered in the liberal arts and sciences as well as in theology. It is also home to the Centre International d’Études Françaises (C.I.D.E.F.), an internationally renowned school for French as a foreign language. The scenic campus of UCO, located in town, is just a short walk or tram ride from the train station or the town center with its museums, shops, cafes and restaurants. Centre International d’Études Françaises (C.I.D.E.F.) Le Centre International d’Études Françaises, commonly known as C.I.D.E.F., is an institute of the Catholic University of the West. Founded in 1947, the C.I.D.E.F. is an establishment “d’enseignement superieur”, welcoming each year around 1,500 foreign students representing 70 countries. C.I.D.E.F. represents an international community that wants to work and live without prejudices of race, religion, political association or nationality. The university’s buildings, utilized by both foreign and French students, are surrounded by a park and are located less than 15 minutes from the train station and a short walk from the town center and university restaurant. The Academic Program KU students take courses in French language and civilization at the CIDEF. The CIDEF tests and places each student in language classes appropriate to the student’s level in French, ranging from beginning to advanced level. CIDEF courses are designed to help students reach fluency in both spoken and written French. Teaching methods are up-to- date and the facilities available to students include a library and three language laboratories. Classrooms with audio-visual equipment, computers and printers or copiers are also available to students. Students can obtain a copy card for 5€ which will purchase 3 approximately 100 copies. KU students will receive approximately 18 hours of credit per semester in French, although actual credit may vary. The particular courses for which the student receives credit will depend on the student’s level and previous course work in French. A typical schedule at the CIDEF would include courses in subjects such as grammar, composition, phonetics, conversation, translation, and civilization. All credit earned will be counted as KU resident credit. Fall 2012 Calendar September Course Arrival Date: 3 September 2012 General meeting and Placement Test: 4 September 2012 8:30 am (Amphi. René BAZIN) Classes End: 28 September 2012 Autumn Trimester Classes start: 8 October 2012 End of trimester exams: 21 December 2012 Departure date: 22 December 2012 CIDEF Contact Information Centre International D’Etudes Françaises (CIDEF) B.P. 10808 3, Place André-Leroy 49008 ANGERS Cedex 01 FRANCE Tel.: (0)2 41 81 66 30 or (0)2 41 88 30 15 Fax: (0)2 41 87 71 67 Email: [email protected] Web: www.uco.fr/instituts/cidef 4 Telephones and Email in France You will have access to telephones and email in Angers. However, in general, there is slightly less access to high-speed Internet connections in France. The CIDEF does have a number of email stations where you will have free access to send and receive email as well as a computer lab with high-speed internet. In town, the average price is 13 Euros for 10 hours. To call France from the U.S., dial 011 for international access and 33 for France. Thus, if you wished to call the CIDEF from the U.S., you would dial 011 33 2 41 88 30 15. Note that the initial 0 is dropped if you are calling from outside France. Cell phones are easily available in Angers as are pre-paid telephone cards. These cards can be purchased at the Post Office or at almost any newsstand or tobacco shop (tabac). Another popular option is text messaging. Many students are requested not to use the host family’s phone so cell phones are very useful for meeting with others. There are three main companies: SFR, Orange (both can be found on Boulevard Foch) and Bouyages Telecom. An option for calling the U.S. at a low rate is the phone card: Tele 2. It can be found at several tabacs on Rue Bressingny. This card allows you to call the U.S. for $.10 per minute instead of $.50 per minute like most other cards. Please note that you must specifically ask for that card. Your Address in Angers The CIDEF will make housing arrangements for all students on the program unless you specify that you prefer to make your own arrangements. Your address in Angers will become known sometime during the month prior to your departure. The CIDEF usually notifies students by mail and also sends the information to the Office of Study Abroad. We will be in touch with you as soon as we receive confirmation of your address. Your address abroad* (for regular mail service) Your name CIDEF B.P. 10808 49008 ANGERS Cedex 01 FRANCE *Students living with a host family can use either the school address or address of the place of residence. We advise students to leave a copy of this contact information with a family member or friend here in the U.S. We also recommend having packages sent to the university.

  • Being a French Protestant in 1559
    May 25, 1559 It is hard to envision being a French Protestant in May 1559. Some pastors and ministers elected from groups of Reformed churches were accompanied by Elders from those churches similarly elected. They arrived on foot or horseback or carriage. They came from Paris, and from towns in northwestern, central, southern and south-western France, to attend the First National Synod of the Reformed Church or Synode Premier National des Eglises Reformées de France in Paris. The men travelled in some secrecy since they were subject to the increasingly draconian laws promulgated to suppress the heresy of Protestantism. Books, printed material, and speech were severely censored. The last of the edits to repress the Huguenots was the Edict of Compiègne issued in July 1557. It mandated the death sentence for all Calvinists. Despite the repression of Henri II, the Reformed faith was spreading quickly in France, among women and men, nobles, aristocrats, and ordinary, mostly middle class persons. Still the men entering Paris for the Synod would have done so cautiously. We do know from the cover of the printed proceedings that the groups of churches represented were located at: St. Lo, Dieppe, Angers, Orléans, Tours, Poitiers, Saintes, Marennes, Castelheraud, and St.- Jean d’Angeli. The Synod was convened from May 25-28, 1559 by François Morel, the pastor of the Church of Paris. An influential contributor to the Synod was Antoine de la Roche Chandieu, a friend and pupil of Jean Calvin. Calvin had sent a draft confession of faith and three delegates to Paris. But it was the Synod and Chandieu that gave the confession its final forty articles.
