  • Place Saint-Michel the Place Saint-Michel Is
    Place Saint-Michel The Place Saint-Michel is simple – a triangle between two streets, uniform buildings along both, designed by the same architect, a walk of smooth cobblestone. The centerpiece is St. Michael defeating a devil; far above them are four statues symbolizing the four cardinal virtues of prudence, fortitude, temperance, and justice. This monument came to be because of the 1848 Revolution and a cholera epidemic in Paris that followed it which killed thousands. This idea of abstract concepts given human form had been popular during the Revolution, the big one, representing the kind of big virtues – like the Four Cardinal Virtues – that everyone could strive for, instead of a single human being whose actions and legacy would turn people against each other. Simultaneous with the creation of Place Saint-Michel, Napoleon III’s renovation brought the Boulevard Saint-Michel into being, and that is the next part of our walk. Facing the fountain with the river at your back, walk on Boulevard Saint-Michel, it’s the street to your left. Walk away from the river along that street. Ultimately, you’ll be turning left on Rue des Écoles, but it’ll be about five minutes to get there, and you can listen to the next track on the way. Boulevard Saint-Michel The character of the street you’re on – wide-open space lined with trees and long, harmonious buildings, plus, often, a view of some landmark in the distance – was a central part of the renovation plan, or the Haussmann plan, as it’s also known.

  • French 43A: French History and Culture
    PARIS PROGRAM UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY Director: Sarah Roberts Summer 2012 French 43A: French History and Culture Instructor: Sarah Roberts Email: [email protected] Dates and Times In Berkeley (Week 1): June 25 – July 5, M-Th, 1:00pm-3:00pm. In Paris: July 9 – August 9, M-Th, 1:00pm-3:00pm. Course Description French 43A provides a comprehensive introduction to French history and culture from the Romans to the present day. The overarching goal of the course is to help participants observe, analyze, and interpret what they experience during their stay in France. This goal will be approached in three ways: 1) by providing an historical perspective on French civilization and culture; 2) by introducing participants to a number of historical and cultural themes relevant to Paris; and 3) by developing students’ curiosity and knowledge about French culture through field trips in the Paris region. The field trips include a tour of Paris by boat (bateau mouche), along the river Seine, and two all-day excursions outside of Paris, to impressionist painter Claude Monet’s house in Giverny, and to the Palace of Versailles. Other destinations, within Paris, include the Conciergerie palace and prison, the Garnier Opera House, the Pasteur Institute, the Cluny Museum, the Orsay Museum, and the Sainte-Chapelle. Towards the end of the program, we also go to the Théâtre de la Huchette to see a performance of Eugène Ionesco’s La Cantatrice chauve, the play students study in the Program’s language and conversation courses. French 43A is conducted entirely in English. It has no prerequisites.

  • The Stained-Glass Windows of the Sainte-Chapelle, Paris
    The stained-glass windows Protection and accessibility In France, since the act of 1913 was passed on, the protec- tion of classified historic monuments, or those listed on the of the Sainte-Chapelle, Paris supplementary inventory and their opening to the public, maintenance and restoration operations and the cost these represent for the state, have been a constant issue. There BY SYlvie Clavel are two aspects to the task of looking after monuments, especially national monuments: conservation, which is our obligation on behalf of our cultural heirs; and making our heritage accessible to everyone, which is our obligation to the people of our own time, but which itself frequently leads to a hastening of the deterioration. This is of particularly high concern for the Sainte-Chapelle. A major Paris monument, emblematic of Medieval Christi- anity, which, along with the Conciergerie, bears witness to the first royal palace, on the Ile de la Cité, in a conserva- tion area of the capital that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Sainte-Chapelle, which attracts some 800,000 visitors per year, approximately 80 % of whom are foreign- ers, presents us with the challenge of maintaining a balance between these two missions.

  • La Conciergerie, Une Enclave Patrimoniale Au Coeur Du Palais De
    DOSSIER THÉMATIQUE 1 L’EDIFICATION DU PALAIS ROYAL PAR LES ROIS CAPETIENS Le palais royal est construit par les rois capétiens progressivement, dans un contexte de réorganisation du royaume et de réaffirmation du pouvoir monarchique. Conciergerie et Sainte-Chapelle sont les seules traces visibles de cette période, mais en fait, comme le souligne l’architecte Christophe Bottineau, les structures architecturales médiévales sont toujours là. LE SITE DU PALAIS ROYAL ET LES PREMIERES CONSTRUCTIONS L’historien Yann Potin rappelle que l’idée d’une continuité du palais de la Cité est discutable. Les plus anciens vestiges, découverts au XIXe siècle, datent en effet du XIIe siècle. La localisation d’un oppidum dans la partie occidentale de l’île, sur le site du palais, est aujourd’hui remise en cause par les archéologues, qui posent l’hypothèse d’une fondation gallo-romaine ex nihilo, à quelques kilomètres de la ville proto historique. Les rares chantiers Le palais royal de Paris, 4e lancette, de fouilles, menés principalement lors des travaux des années 1842- baie XV, Histoire des Reliques. 1898, montrent seulement la présence de demeures privées jusqu’aux IIIe et IVe siècles. La construction d’un palatium, abritant le Tribunal du prétoire et un hébergement occupé temporairement par les empereurs en campagne, est contemporaine de celles de deux ponts et des fortifications (dont un tronçon a été identifié sous la cour du Mai), édifiée lors du repli dans l’île au Bas Empire. Dans les siècles qui suivent, le palais paraît abandonné : les Mérovingiens y séjournaient peut-être, mais les sources mentionnent plutôt une résidence à Cluny ; les Carolingiens s’installent outre-Rhin, laissant probablement l’usage des lieux aux comtes.

  • É an Installation by JR #Aupanth·On Ê
    Press release, 25 February 2014 The CM N is inviting JR to create a participatory work at the Pantheon çTo the Pantheon!é an installation by JR #AuPanth·on ê www.au-pantheon.fr Press officer: Camille Boneu ê +33 (0)1 44 61 21 86 ê camille.boneu@ monuments-nationaux.fr çTo the Pantheon!é An installation by JR The restoration work currently being carried out on the Pantheon is one of the largest projects in Europe. The purpose of the current phase is to consolidate and fully restore the dome. A vast self-supporting scaffolding system ê a great technical feat ê has been built around the dome and will remain in place for two years. Last October the President of the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, Philippe Bélaval, presented the President of the French Republic with a report on the role of the Pantheon in promoting the values of the Republic. The title of this public report was “Pour faire entrer le peuple au Panthéon” (Getting people into the Pantheon), and it contains suggestions on how to make the monument more attractive, encourage French people to truly identify with it, and give it a greater role in Republican ceremonies. In order to give concrete form to these proposals, which have since been approved by the public authorities, the CMN has chosen to ask a contemporary artist to carry out a worldwide project embodying the values of this monument, which is so emblematic of the French Republic. Hence for the first tim e the worksite hoardings installed around a national m onum ent will be used to present a contem porary artistic venture instead of a lucrative advertising cam paign.

  • Paris-In-The-Middle-Ages.Pdf
    This walking tour focuses primarily on Middle Ages Paris, but it begins at the beginning, in the place where Paris originated on the Ile de la Cité. The walk ends atop Mount Sainte-Geneviève on the Left Bank. In between, the tour winds through the narrow medieval streets of the Ancient Cloister Quarter on the Ile de la Cité and the Latin Quarter on the Left Bank. It includes Notre- Dame, the Conciergerie and Sainte-Chapelle, three of the the city’s most famous Gothic buildings. The walk also encompasses some less well known but no less interesting places including the church of Saint-Séverin and the Hôtel de Cluny, the former Paris residence of the wealthy abbots of Cluny. It’s now a wonderful Middle Ages museum. Stops at the Sorbonne, at the charmingly eclectic church of Saint-Etienne-du-Mont and at a remnant of Philippe II’s medieval city wall round out the picture of Paris in the Middle Ages. Start: Petit Pont (Métro: Saint-Michel) Finish: Medieval City Wall (Métro: Cardinal Lemoine) Distance: 2 miles Time: 4 - 5 hours Best Days: Wednesday - Monday Copyright © Ann Branston 2011 HISTORY Louis IX, “Saint-Louis” (1226-1270), was known for his religious piety (some Politics and Economics say neuroticism) and charity, as well as for his intolerance and anti-Semitism. He built Sainte-Chapelle for his daily devotions and to house his religious relics. At the beginning of the Middle Ages (around 500 AD) the area known to the Romans as Gaul and known today as France, was a dangerous, ungoverned Philippe IV “The Fair” (1285-1314) rebuilt the French legal structure.
