The goal of this Jan Plan is twofold: to become acquainted with French literary classics and to explore the relationship between literature and the city of Paris. How do specific Parisian places manifest themselves in famous texts and in today's cityscapes? What roles do history, architecture, and literature play in the mapping of Parisian topographies? We will answer these questions by reading the city through literature and literature through the city. As such, this course consists of traditional class sessions and walking tours – walking tours that groups of students will plan and lead with the help of the professor.

Cost of Jan Plan (based on enrollment of 15 students): $1,850
Cost of airfare to and from Boston (subject to change): $900
Total fee: $2,750
