FREN 340: France's Sites of Memory
Course Description
This course complements French 336, Civilization of the Past. Students will travel to France to visit the "sites of memory" that have shaped France's collective memorial heritage, from the Roman Empire to the French Revolution, to today. Visits to the Catacombs, Roman ruins in the South of France, Roman and Gothic cathedrals, Renaissance castles, museums, royal palaces, and the Place de la Bastille will bring France's history and civilization alive, and help crystallize a material memory of France's rich culture.
