Paris and Burgundy French Literature in Burgundy and Paris (May 13-21) An introduction to French literature and civilization, with emphasis on important writers connected with Burgundy and Paris--Molière, Diderot, Hugo, and Colette, among others. We will become acquainted with French history and civilization from the Age of Classicism to the present, including several major artistic movements. At the end of the term, we will study these writers sur place, in the place where the works originated and the authors lived. In Burgundy, we will visit sites of historical and artistic significance, including Dijon, the Clos de Vougeot, and the medieval town of Beaune. As part of "tasting" French civilization, there will be a dégustation de vin (wine-tasting). On the way to Paris, we will visit the Renaissance castle of Fontainebleau. In Paris, we will visit the Palace of Versailles and several of the greatest museums in the world: the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay, and the Rodin Museum. Students will also have a chance to explore Paris on their own--the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the bateaux mouches. Note: the tour will take place immediately following exams, returning
in time for Commencement. Students may participate solely in the
foreign-study portion of the course, but will receive less credit.
Estimated price $2589.
