SEA 297-FRN Paris: Turning Points in French History (Sharon Wilkinson); ECC: Historical Perspective Paris. There is no other city quite like it anywhere in the world—cutting-edge, yet steeped in tradition and history. In this course, we will follow in the footsteps of several colorful characters from the time of kings, queens, castles, and palaces, taking us to places like the Louvre, Versailles, Fontainebleau, and some castles of the Loire Valley. Love affairs, bloody massacres, royal court gossip, assassinations, and some pretty eccentric people will all come alive as we study three key events in the period of French history from the Renaissance to the Revolution. The May Term portion of the course will include 10 days in Paris and the surrounding area, as well as class sessions on campus before and after traveling. Besides your active participation in the course, graded work will include a photo journal project, a book presentation, and a final learning assessment.
