In Paris Program Description A Weekend in Paris Program Description October 18-21, 2018 AFMO Weekend……………………………… Thursday, October 18 U.S. Ambassabor’s Residence 41, rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 75008 Paris The U.S. Embassy in Paris is the oldest diplomatic mission of the United States. The Department of State owns three buildings in Paris to support its diplomatic, consular, trade, and cultural activities: the Embassy of the United States of America in Paris, the Hôtel de Pontalba - also called Hôtel de Rothschild - and the Hôtel de Talleyrand-George Marshall Center. When Louis Visconti designed the urban mansion for the New Orleans-born Michaela Almonester, Baroness de Pontalba, it became known as the Hôtel de Pontalba. Edmond James de Rothschild acquired the building in 1876, he sold it to the U.S. government in 1948. It now serves as the official Residence of the Ambassador of the United States of America to France and Monaco. We are honored to be welcomed by Ambassador Jamie McCourt for the opening reception of our October Gala. Friday, October 19 Musée de l’Orangerie, The Cruel Tales of Paula Rego Private Visit with Museum Director Cécile Debray Jardin des Tuileries, Place de la Concorde, 75001 Paris The only female artist in the London Group, Paula Rego set herself apart with her strongly figurative, incisive, and singular work. She is obsessed by a literary and cultural vision of the 19th century, both realistic and imaginary (Jane Eyre, Peter Pan, Daumier, Goya, Lewis Carroll, Hogarth, Ensor, Degas), which becomes entangled with strongly autobiographical elements. Her paintings confront established conventions and reveal with great irony traits of the bourgeois society embodied by family, religion, and the State. Drawing her inspiration from the mannequins, dolls, and masks staged in her studio, she transforms and distorts her characters and creates large- format scenes where reality and fiction, dreams and nightmares, merge. Musée d’Orsay, Behind the Scenes of the Graphic Art and Photography Department, including Edward Steichen and Alfred Stieglitz, with Curator Thomas Galifot Musée d’Orsay, Montherlant Entrance, 9 quai Anatole France, 75007 Paris Musée du Louvre, Behind the Scenes of the Musée d’Orsay’s Drawings Collection, including Degas, Manet, and Millet, with Curator Leila Jarbouai Musée du Louvre, Porte des Lions Entrance (Seine Side), Quai François Mitterand, 75001 Paris AFMO Weekend……………………………… Durand-Ruel: The First Impressionist Art Dealer. Private Archives with Art Historian Flavie Durand-Ruel 39, avenue de Friedland, 75008 Paris Flavie Durand-Ruel and Paul-Louis Durand-Ruel, descendants of legendary, innovative Parisian art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, take us back in time into the universe of the man, for whom "art came before any other consideration". National Archives, Hôtel de Soubise Private Visit including the Opening of the Iron Chest containing France’s most Precious Documents 60, rue des Francs Bourgeois, 75004 Paris Considered as one of the most prestigious Parisian residences since its construction in 1731, the Hotel de Soubise was the residence of Olivier de Clisson, Constable of France, then of the Duke of Guise. Graced with a majestic courtyard, the mansion was rebuilt and decorated by the Italian artist Francesco Primaticcio and became a National Monument at the time of the Revolution to house the official documents of the French Republic. Designed in 1790, The Iron Chest holds all of the Constitutions of France, as well as documents of the greatest historical value such as the journal of Louis XVI, the prototype meter and kilogram in platinum, Louis XIV's and Napoleon I's testaments. Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Richelieu Site 58, rue de Richelieu, 75002 Paris The Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Richelieu Site has recently reopened after years of renovation work. Formerly known as the residence of Cardinal Mazarin in the 17th-century and then the Royal Library, the Richelieu site houses prestigious collections of Music and Performing Arts, Western and Eastern Manuscripts, Maps and Plans, Prints and Photographs, and Coins, Medals, and Antiques. The Labrouste oval reading room, a 19th-century neo-classical masterpiece, is renowned for its sixteen slender metal columns and naturalistic frescoes on the ceilings where images of trees and squirrels create the impression of reading outdoors. Lunch will be served in the Library’s Salon d’Honneur under the gaze of Voltaire. CHANEL, In the Footsteps of Gabrielle Chanel: Tea Time at LE RITZ PARIS with Lecture on Chanel by Justine Picardie, Editor-in-Chief of Haper’s Bazaar, UK & Visit of her Private Apartment,31, rue Cambon possible in small groups. Le Ritz Paris, 15, Place Vendôme, 75001 Paris / 31, rue Cambon, 75001 Paris At the Ritz, we will enjoy an Afternoon Tea and a Lecture on Chanel by Justine Picardie, Editor-in- Chief of Haper’s Bazaar, U.K and author of “Chanel. Her Life”. Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s famous 3rd floor apartment above the ground floor store and Haute Couture dressing rooms, and decorated in exquisite taste by herself, remains untouched since she died in her room at the Ritz at the age of 87. Highlights include beautiful Coromandel screens, dark lacquered wood, carved and painted in gold and varied colors, and the famous, faceted, mirrored staircase that connects all four floors. AFMO Weekend……………………………… Maison Lesage, Haute Couture Embroidery 13, rue de la Grange Batelière, 75009 Paris Created in 1924, Maison Lesage is one of the oldest embroidery ateliers in Paris known for opulent pieces that require countless hours of craftsmanship for Haute Couture and Ready-to-Wear clients. Artistry of the past meets today’s fashion through innovative design and the determination to keep centuries-old techniques relevant for today’s designers. The company founded an embroidery school in 1992 and became part of CHANEL’s Métiers d’art in 2002. Maison Schiaparelli, Elsa’s Legacy, 21, Place Vendôme 21, Place Vendôme, 75001 Paris Elsa Schiaparelli’s iconic couture house reopened where the famous designer once worked in the 1930s: at high-profile 21 Place Vendôme. The four-story 18th-century building houses a creative studio, an atelier, couture salons and offices, in a decadent suite of rooms, dotted with references to Schiaparelli’s work reflected in the furnishings, numerous sketches, illustrations, and photos from her life. Highlights include Giacometti gold columns, Marcel Vertès collages and sketches, original sphinx sculptures from the store interior, and various artefacts such as a Salavador Dalì powder compact and Man Ray glasses. Joseph Achkar and Michel Charrière, Hôtel Particulier du Duc de Gesvres, 17th-century Home and Collection 22, rue de la Michodière, 75009 Paris Joseph Achkar and Michel Charrière, renowned interior designers, whose work is found in eminent private residences around the world, currently restore the prestigious Hôtel de la Marine in Paris, open the doors of their stunning residence, the Hôtel du Duc de Gesvres. It is the only remaining town house by classical architect Antoine Lepautre, and exemplifies the most sophisticated level of classical architecture, artwork and décor, with works by Watteau and the original “cabinet of mirrors”. This splendidly restored and brilliantly decorated home earned the owners the Institut de France's highest award for restoration. Max Blumberg and Eduardo Araujo, Neo-Classical Home and Collection 210, rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris Distinguished private art collectors Max Blumberg and Eduardo Araujo open the doors of their outstanding Paris home, with an extraordinary Neo-Classical Art Collection and marvelous views of Paris, the Tuileries gardens, and the Musée d’Orsay. AFMO Weekend……………………………… Musée National Picasso-Paris. Private After-Hours Visit of Picasso. Masterpieces! Special Welcome and Introduction by Museum President Laurent Le Bon 5, rue de Thorigny, 75003 Paris What is the meaning of “masterpiece” for Pablo Picasso? The exhibition Picasso: Masterpieces! attempts an answer by bringing together many of his greatest works, some of which will be shown in Paris for the first time. Thanks to exceptional loans, masterpieces from all over the world unite with those from the Musée National Picasso-Paris. The collection offers a new look at Picasso’s creativity and gives special attention to its critical reception: exhibitions, articles, and publications that accompanied each artwork and helped forge their reputation as masterpieces. The Musée National Picasso-Paris archives play an essential part in this story. Saturday, October 20 Giacometti Institute, Artist’s Studio, Drawing Cabinet, and Special Exhibition 5, rue Victor Schoelcher, 75014 Paris Boasting a collection of 300 sculptures, 90 paintings, over 2,000 thousand drawings, and a remarkable collection of archives and photographs, the newly opened Giacometti Institute owns the world’s richest collection of works by Alberto Giacometti. In addition to a dynamic program of engaging exhibitions, it houses an education and research center, but the stunning reconstituted version of Giacometti’s atelier remains the Institute’s centerpiece: his mythical studio became the symbol of Post-War Parisian artistic life. Musée Rodin, Home, Atelier, and Garden in Meudon 19, avenue Auguste Rodin, 92190 Meudon Auguste Rodin bought the “Villa des Brillants”, a modest-looking Louis XIII-style building on the heights of Meudon in 1895, as his private residence. Although he continued to frequent his Parisian studios, Rodin lived and created in Meudon many of his

    Fiche pédagogique LA SALLE RICHELIEU SERVICE ÉDUCATIF DE LA COMÉDIE-FRANÇAISE ENTRE TRADITION ET MODERNITÉ Salle Richelieu © Cosimo Mirco Magliocca, coll. Comédie-Française La salle n’était pas éclairée. Les théâtres sont obscurs le jour et ne s’illuminent que la nuit. Le soir est leur aurore et la lumière ne leur vient que lorsqu’elle s’éteint au ciel. Ce renversement s’accorde avec leur vie factice. Pendant que la réalité travaille, la fiction dort. Théophile GAUTIER, Histoire du romantisme, « première représentation d’Hernani » Fiche pédagogique LA SALLE RICHELIEU SERVICE ÉDUCATIF DE LA COMÉDIE-FRANÇAISE ENTRE TRADITION ET MODERNITÉ 1 LA RÉVOLUTION DU THÉÂTRE À LA RENAISSANCE L’histoire du théâtre se confond avec une histoire des lieux de représentation. De l’amphithéâtre antique aux tréteaux dressés sur une place publique ou un parvis d’église au Moyen Âge, des salles de palais princiers aux édifices spécifiques, les lieux sont occupés et les espaces aménagés pour assembler, montrer et divertir. La salle « à l’italienne » est un de ces lieux particuliers qui « naît » dans l’Italie de la Renaissance. À cette période, on redécouvre Vitruve, un architecte romain du premier siècle avant Jésus-Christ. On peint les premiers décors en perspective comme le fait Baldassare Peruzzi pour La calandria, comédie du cardinal Bibbiena donnée devant le pape Léon X en 1514, au château Saint-Ange, à Rome. Et on se passionne pour les travaux de Sebastiano Serlio et son traité sur l’architecture. Établissant un lien entre le théâtre antique – avec son amphithéâtre – et les découvertes techniques de son époque – avec sa scène en « perspective » le Théâtre olympique de Vicence, construit entre 1580 et 1584, est souvent considéré comme l’une des premières salles dites « à l’italienne ».

  • 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.

    Abby’sAbby’s TopTop ParisParis RestaurantRestaurant && BarBar ListList JUST MY FAVORIT ES! This is the short list of just my very favorite restaurants and bars that I have tried so far in Paris (I update this list regularly as I find new must try’s!) As I explained for the full list, I find that most decent restaurants will run about €40-€50 per person for a full 3-course dinner with 2-3 people sharing a bottle of wine. If I note that a restaurant is “pricey” it means you’re closer to the €60-€70 per person range. None of the restaurants listed below are going to cost much more than that, assuming your ordering is reasonable! Please visit us at www.ParisWeekender.com! P French: • Verjus (1st) 47 rue Montpensier (wine bar)/52 rue de Richelieu, Tel. 01 42 97 54 40, [email protected], http://www.verjusparis.com. Wine bar: Mon - Fri, 18h - 23h, Restaurant: Mon - Fri, 19h - 22h. Adorable wine bar with a stone-vaulted ceiling and tasty small plates for under €10. But if you're looking for one splurge in Paris, the restaurant upstairs should be it. 5-course set menu at €60 but do not miss the spot on wine pairings for €40 additional. It's worth it. Very friendly and inviting, run by Laura and Braden of Hidden Kitchen fame. An evening at Verjus is not just a dinner, it's an experience. • Au Vieux Comptoir (1st) 17 rue des Lavandieres, Sainte Opportune, Tel. 01 45 08 53 08, www.au-vieux-comptoir.com.
