#8. If you were ready to leave your provincial village, see the world and maybe party a bit, what options did you have? Then as now you went to college! Join us as we go back to school at the medieval University of Paris in this episode of Paris Gone By!
Correction: I mention the Bishops of Cluny, however their correct title was the Abbots of Cluny.
Links for the Episode:
- Musee de Cluny.
- Église Saint-Séverin.
- Church of Saint Julien le Pauvre.
- Collège de Bernardins. The nave is available for free. If you want a guided tour of the full building (for a fee), scroll to the bottom of their info page. They will resume Sept. 21 on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 4 p.m. Reserve day-of only.
- Notre Dame De Paris.
- La Chappelle de la Sorbonne. Available for pre-booked group tours (includes other parts of the Sorbonne as well)
