Sites of History: France
This course, taught in France, explores the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of modern France. What better way to understand the bohemian life of the Belle Époque than to walk up to the top of the Butte Montmartre? What better way to understand the impact of urban transit than to experience the Paris Métropolitain in all its crowded glory? What better way to understand the crisis of the Great War than to journey to the fortress city and ossuary of Verdun? What better way to understand the centrality of art and culture to the French than to take in the museums of Paris? Participants in this course learn about—and experience—the history and culture of modern France.
