| Most people know Paris’ “City of Lights” nickname, but do you know where it comes from? In the latter half of the 19th century, Paris installed 15,000 gas-lit streetlamps, allowing shops to stay open late and citizens to stroll the boulevards in greater safety. |

the period and design of the local buildings, and

explore the museums of Paris. This six-week program earns you 6 credits in art history.

home to the masters who
defined Western art.

There’s no argument: Paris is the perfect tourist city.
From beautiful landmarks to priceless cultural treasures,
from world-class shopping to unforgettable local color, all
other cities are judged by how close they come to Paris.
The only thing better than visiting Paris is living there.
The Summer Institute in Art History gives
you that chance. This six-week, 6-credit program will make Paris
your city, taking you on a guided tour of its streets and museums.
After this summer, you’ll never feel like a tourist in Paris again!
You
and your roomies will take advantage of Parisian
hospitality at your downtown apartment-hotel. With a
kitchen, bathroom, CD-player, cable TV, and cleaning
service, you’ll have everything (including the kitchen
sink) at your fingertips. But with Paris’ famous parks,
cafés, and nightlife just outside your door, you might
spend less time at the apartment than you’d think!
