COURSE THEME

Becoming Modern: London and Paris, 1660-1870

The cities of London and Paris, whose histories are intertwined, were the cultural powerhouses of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Europe. Learn about the changes the two cities experienced as they grew beyond their Medieval boundaries and concepts, adapting to an increasingly industrial world. Then walk through each city and see its rich history come alive through the architecture, the monuments, and the vast cultural resources that speak volumes about the spirit and energy of the people who struggled and prospered there.
