Texts in Context: 戛纳 and the 法国里维埃拉

Students fly together to France and travel to 戛纳这是一个旅游胜地 法国里维埃拉，以其 国际电影节. 这是克鲁瓦塞特大道, 沿着海岸弯曲的, 那里有沙滩吗, 高档精品店和富丽堂皇的酒店. 

Students will travel throughout 戛纳 to see several original documents studied in class and experience numerous locations mentioned in the documents to get richer and fuller understanding of the context and history of France.  

Study locations and texts unique to the region: documents related to Napoleon’s debarkation in the Golfe Juan before Waterloo, newspaper reports on the explosion of the fashion and perfume industry in the 19th century with rich noble families using the “Côte d’azur” as their playground, texts documenting the importance of the South of France in 20th century art history (Picasso, 考克, 马蒂斯, and Chagall) as well as posters and advertisements documenting how the 戛纳 Film Festival was affected at the beginning of the Second World War. 

In addition to various locations within 戛纳, the following day trips are planned:   

• A day trip to the “îles des Lérins” is scheduled. L’île Marguerite is where the “Man in the Iron mask” was imprisoned. The legend of the man in the iron mask predates the period covered in this class. However, the story provides a fascinating introductory lesson on the topic of history vs. legend and the importance of documentation and evidence in the recording of history. As such, the study abroad will begin with a visit of the prison museum on L’Île Marguerite. 
• Another day trip to Golfe Juan (and 戛纳). Having been exiled to the island of Elba in May 1814, 拿破仑于3月1日返回法国, 1815, 降落在戛纳附近,000人. He won support from the rural peasantry as he marched toward Paris, and Louis XVIII fled the country prior to Napoleon’s arrival in the capital on March 20.
• Art day trip (the Rothschild Villa Ephrussi, 夏加尔博物馆, 马蒂斯 museum) 
• Perfume and fashion industry day trip to Grasse (the center of the perfume and fashion industry)
• 滨海波利埃艺术一日游, 不错的, and Antibes (the Rothschild Villa Ephrussi, 夏加尔博物馆, 毕加索博物馆)
