Fall 2008

The French People: Their History and Culture

Join us to discuss in a relaxed atmosphere the Evolution and History of the French People from the beginning of time to the 21st century. We will discuss the Gauls, ancestors of the French, explaining how they were conquered by the Romans and later by the Franks. Following the Middle Ages, we will discuss the Renaissance period of the 16th century and the French Religious Wars. We will emphasize the importance of the Bourbon Dynasty in the 17th century and the 18th century with the French Revolution. The course will conclude with the 20th century including the Belle Epoque, WWI, WWII, the Cold War and our current days.
