EXPLORING THE SORBONNE: Paris’s Historic University and Its Academic Palace

Описание: In this video, we step inside La Sorbonne, one of Paris’s most iconic universities, and discover its rich history and architecture. Founded in 1253 by Robert de Sorbon, this legendary institution has shaped centuries of learning, philosophy, and culture.

We take you on a guided journey through the Academic Palace of the Sorbonne - a XIX century architectural gem right in the heart of the Latin Quarter. From the Grand Vestibule and the monumental Escalier d’Honneur to the majestic Grand Amphitheatre, every corner tells the story of Paris’ intellectual and artistic heritage.

We’ll uncover how the Sorbonne evolved from a medieval college to an academic powerhouse, explore its reconstruction, admire artworks by François Flameng, Benjamin Constant, and Puvis de Chavannes, and see how figures like Cardinal Richelieu, Marie Curie, and Simone de Beauvoir are forever tied to its legacy.
