PARIS STUDY TOUR JUNE 28 – JULY 10, 2019 TOUR LEADER: DR MICHAEL ADCOCK

Overview The extraordinary history, art and culture of Paris make it one of the most iconic cities in the world. This study tour explores Paris over 13 days, starting with the city's medieval glory at Sainte Chapelle. We move forwards in time to survey the glory of the medieval kings of France, followed by the tumult of the revolutionary city and the rise of Napoleon, finishing with the birth of modern art with the works of Monet, Cezanne, Picasso and Toulouse-Lautrec. The tour provides you with the extensive background lectures and the expert guidance of Dr Michael Adcock, with guided visits of museums and galleries, and a sequence of historical walking tours to bring the city and its history to life. The tour takes you well beyond the main sights of Paris, to explore some of its less well-visited, but nonetheless world class, galleries, museums and historical sites. In addition, the itinerary is designed to provide you with time for independent sightseeing and to undertake optional activities with the tour leader. For the duration of the tour, we stay in a 4* hotel in the 12th arrondissement, which is rarely frequented by tourists yet just minutes from the heart of Paris. The hotel is near Bercy Village, which was the historical centre of the Paris wine trade, has many cafés and restaurants in converted cellars and warehouses, plus all the conveniences of modern living at your doorstep.

Your tour leader Dr Michael Adcock is a social and cultural historian who specialises in modern French history. Michael 's extensive teaching experience includes several years with the History Department of the University of Melbourne, where he lectured in courses devoted to nineteenth and twentieth century France and a series of popular lectures at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, the Art Gallery of Queensland and the National Gallery of Victoria.

Michael’s doctoral research examined the visual arts of the French Second and Third Republics, with much of his research undertaken in Paris. He has subsequently published books on the French Revolution with Cambridge University Press. Michael has led Academy Travel tours to Paris since 2006.

“Michael was an excellent guide. He was not simply doing a job but had a passion for the subject and a desire for everyone to get the best out of the tour. He went above and beyond.”

“Michael is a very caring tour leader and his enthusiasm and

knowledge of Paris and of French and art history is remarkable. We thoroughly enjoyed it, and, like most of us on the trip, had been to Paris previously, but learnt so much. We felt we really lived in Paris for the two weeks.”” Tour participants on Michael’s Paris: Study Tour July 2018.

Study Tours Academy Travel study tours are designed to provide in-depth intellectual stimulation. The tours feature regular background lectures, morning site visits and several free afternoons for individual exploration or optional visits with the tour leader. Compared to other Academy Travel tours, walking tours are longer and we use local public transport for short journeys within a city. The standard of accommodation is different to keep the cost down, being outside the historic centre, yet close to public transport, encouraging you to ‘live like a local’.

Tour Themes

ROMAN AND MEDIEVAL PARIS While Paris is a cultural capital of the modern world, its medieval history is no less stunning. We trace the early development of the city from its Gallic and Roman origins, through to its rise in the High Middle Ages as the permanent residence of the kings of France, whose mark on the city is still felt today, at Sainte-Chapelle, the Museum of the Conciergerie and other churches and museums in the city.

FROM THE SUN KING TO NAPOLEON The power of the kings of France grew exponentially in the 1600s as did their territory through war and intrigue. Indeed, it is in this period, under Louis XIV, that the borders of France as we know them were largely shaped. Louis more than reshaped the kingdom – he articulated a notion of absolute power expressed through public displays of magnificence, a model that was widely adopted by later leaders.

19TH-CENTURY PARIS Paris as we see it today is the result of Hausmann’s systematic redevelopment project, with its magnificent boulevards, clear lines of sight to monuments throughout the city, and beautiful new apartments lining the streets at a regular height. The new modern city facilitated a new form of modern, bourgeois living, which artists and writers of the period immortalised.

IMPRESSIONIST PARIS AND BEYOND The Impressionists made a number of radical breaks with traditional and Academic art, most obviously in their technique, but also frequently in their choice of subject matter. The focus on modern life was taken up in new ways by post impressionists, such as Toulouse-Lautrec, who captured the spirit of the bohemians and celebrated life in all its shades and colours on Montmartre.

THE CAULDRON OF MODERNISM The lively group of artists and writers from around the world who gathered in Paris at the turn of the 20th century, created the styles and ideas that have shaped modern art, from cubism, abstraction and fauvism to conceptual and installation art. Paris’ modern art galleries are exceptional – and you can retrace the footsteps of the masters.

Detailed itinerary Included meals are shown with the symbols B, L and D.

Friday June 28 Arrive

The tour starts in the late afternoon, when we meet in the hotel for an orientation walk of the local neighbourhood and Bercy, a quiet neighbourhood in the 12th arrondisement and the historic centre of Paris’ wine trade. In the early evening, we have a lecture on Paris’ history from its Celtic and Roman origins to its medieval splendour, followed by dinner in a local restaurant. (D)

Saturday June 29 Medieval splendour

Paris was the heart of medieval France and the influence of its art and architecture extended across Europe. We immerse ourselves in the gems of medieval Paris today, starting with the astonishing 13th-century Sainte-Chapelle, a royal or ‘palatine’ chapel built by Louis IX to house major relics, including the Crown of Thorns. This structure consists almost entirely of stained-glass windows, having virtually no walls apart from the fine Gothic columns that support the building. We then visit the Museum of the Conciergerie, the medieval royal palace that was converted into the centre of the judiciary, and would become the seat of the Revolutionary Tribunal. After a break for lunch in the nearby St. Michel area, we visit the Cluny Museum. This extraordinary collection of medieval fine and decorative art ranges from ivories, stained glass windows, everyday objects, sculpture and tapestry (including the Lady and the Unicorn cycle) and is housed in a medieval residence built on top of the very well-preserved Roman bath complex.

Sunday June 30 Canal St Martin

The early history of Paris is rarely explored, partly because it is buried beneath centuries of history and the city’s major monuments. This morning we enjoy a cruise along one of Paris’ best-kept secrets: the Canal St Martin. The canal was constructed under Napoleon’s rule, and leads through a tunnel beneath the city, to a series of spectacular locks and the leafy, arty suburbs of Paris. The cruise ends at La Villette, where we have a break for lunch, before returning by metro to the city centre. The afternoon is at leisure, and you may wish to explore the Saint Germain district, formerly Paris’ intellectual centre and today lined with boutiques and restaurants. In the early evening, there is a lecture on the Louvre. Note the Bercy markets are on today between 7am and 3pm. (B)

Monday 1 July The French ark

From its very beginning, the Louvre Museum was conceived to be the world’s premiere art gallery, with collections tracing the history of art from Egyptian, Greek and Roman antiquity,

Above: The Canal St Martin, which passes from the Seine beneath the streets of Paris to emerge in the quiet tree lined inner-suburbs Below: Sainte-Chapelle, the jewel box of the Gothic age

Above: Delacroix’s Liberty leading the people, symbol of the revolutionary spirit Below: Pierre-Paul Prud’hon’s portrait of Empress Joséphine Bonaparte at Chateau Malmaison

through to the Renaissance in Europe and then modern developments in France. We begin our tour with some of the less-visited, but no less spectacular, collections including the rich collection of Delacroix, Corot and the Barbizon School of landscapists, and the beautiful rooms of 17th and 18th century French painting, where we discover the intense beauty of works by the likes of Lorrain, Poussin, Chardin and the much-neglected Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun. The rest of the day is free to explore the other collections in the Louvre, and you may wish to visit the nearby excellent Museum of Decorative Arts. Returning to the hotel, we have a lecture on Versailles. (B)

Tuesday 2 July Napoleonic Paris

France changed dramatically under the Napoleons, whose systematic program of modernisation largely created the Paris we see today. This morning we have lectures on Napoleon and Joséphine and the extensive modernisation of the city under Napoleon III, which gave Paris its modern appearance and made it an iconic capital. After a break for an early lunch, we travel by coach to the Chateau Malmaison, the former residence of Napoleon and Joséphine, now a museum dedicated to their memory. The point of our visit will be to evoke the extraordinary garden and zoo that Joséphine established here – including kangaroos and emus from a distant land called Australia – and to acknowledge thereby her considerable erudition. Contrary to a thousand sentimental paintings, and a hundred gushy romantic novels, Joséphine was very definitely ‘not just a pretty face.’ We then continue by coach to visit the Museum of Les Invalides, a military hospital built by Louis XIV, to see the monumental tomb of Napoleon I in the Church of Les Invalides, and then explore the recently renovated Napoleonic wing of the military history museum. In the early evening there is a lecture. (B)

Wednesday 3 July At the court of the sun king

The Palace of Versailles redefined what a royal palace must be and how it must reflect royal magnificence. This morning we travel to Versailles by train and begin with a guided tour of the Private Apartments, an area which is reserved for groups only. Upon completion, we independently explore the part of the palace open to the general public and its extensive grounds before returning to Paris. Late afternoon and evening at leisure. (B) Note the Bercy markets are on today between 3-8pm. (B)

Thursday 4 July Civilising the city

In the mid-19th century, Emperor Napoleon III empowered his prefect, George Hausmann, to literally tear down the urban tangle and accretion of centuries of Parisian life, and to create wide, straight boulevards, lines of sight, monumental foci, as well as infrastructure such as a vast underground network of sewers to cleanse Paris. Our walking tour this morning explores

the new world created by Haussmann, including the Paris Opéra and the Avenue de l’Opéra, as well as the historic Galeries Lafayette. This world will be oddly familiar to us, for it was the plan of renewal, largely competed by 1875, that created the new urban conditions that inspired the generation of young Impressionists painters, who embraced and recorded the new thrill of the modern. In the early afternoon, there is the option of visiting the nearby Museum Jacquemart-André, with its astonishing personal collection of Old Master paintings. The afternoon is otherwise free for individual sightseeing. (B)

Friday 5 July Giverny and the Marmottan

Monet’s gardens at Giverny, where Monet lived from 1883 until his death in 1926, allow us to make contact with his greatest masterpiece, the Nymphéas, or water lilies. This morning, we travel to Giverny by coach and, rather than follow a guided tour, we will immerse ourselves in the experience of the gardens. In the afternoon we return to Paris via the Marmottan Museum, a mansion-museum created when a wealthy art collector left both his house and his collection to the City of Paris. In addition to its elegant Empire style rooms, it has an impressive collection of paintings by Berthe Morisot, a talented painter who is still somewhat neglected as ‘a woman Impressionist’, a collection of medieval manuscripts and paintings, and an underground gallery with dozens of paintings by Claude Monet, including the iconic Impression Sunrise and the breathtaking Train in Snow. In the early evening we have lectures on the art and culture of 19th and early 20th century Paris. Evening at leisure. (B)

Saturday 6 July Petit-Palais

While Paris’ most famous museums, such as the Louvre, attract millions of visitors per year, its 200 other museums are perennially under-visited. This morning we visit the Museum of the Petit-Palais, which was constructed for the great International Exposition of 1900, with the intention that it would then become a permanent art museum for the City of Paris. It has recently been splendidly renovated to make it one of the most exhilarating museum visits in Paris, with its quiet rooms of Old Masters, Impressionists, ancient Greek bronzes, and intriguing paintings of the 19th-century Naturalist school. The museum also has a delightful café, looking out onto a colonnade and a beautiful interior garden. The afternoon and evening are free for independent sightseeing. (B)

Sunday 7 July The painters of modern life

In the 1860s and 1870s, painters responded to the modern world they saw emerging around them. Following Baudelaire’s injunction to study ‘the heroism of modern life’, painters such as Edouard Manet and Edgar Degas adopted novel points of view and radical techniques – sometimes inspired by the old art of

Above: The Galleries Lafayette, a pantheon of bourgeois Paris; and the famed pond in Monet’s garden at Giverny Below: Monet’s Train in snow, just one of the many gems in the Petit Palais

Japanese woodblocks and the new art of photography – to capture the acrid flavour of what Robert Hughes would call ‘the Shock of the New.’ We start the day at the Musée d’Orsay, where we will actually use the examples of formal, academic salon art exhibited to ‘see the 19th century whole’, that is, to really see what was so radical about Impressionist art and fully appreciate the technical revolution operated by the Impressionists. After a break for a light lunch, we cross the Seine to visit the Musée de l’Orangerie, whose oval-shaped galleries contain Monet’s massive ensemble of vast waterlily canvases, as well as a significant collection of modern art of the 19th and 20th centuries. The mid-afternoon is free for independent sightseeing. We have a lecture in the early evening, followed by dinner in a local restaurant. (B, D)

Monday 8 July The Cauldron of Modernism

Today, we will take the metro to Les Abbesses metro stop (one of the few that still has a completely original 1900 metal entrance) and enjoy a walking tour in the footsteps of the likes of van Gogh through the fabled streets of Old Montmartre ending at the Basilica of Montmartre with spectacular views of the city. After a break for lunch in the old square at the top of the hill, we visit one of the most charming local museums in Paris, the quaint Museum of Montmartre. This museum was small in scale and intimate in nature, but a recent renovation has both extended it and transformed it, creating new rooms and vastly increasing the amount of material on display. The standard of display, too, has been massively enhanced, and is truly state-of-the-art. The rest of the afternoon is free for independent sightseeing. We enjoy an early evening lecture on modernism in Paris. (B)

Tuesday 9 July The Cauldron of Modernism

The early 20th century saw a proliferation of new art movements, and today we explore the birth and development of modernism in Paris. We begin at the recently renovated and extensively expanded Picasso Museum, a rich collection created in one swoop when the artist, charged with failure to pay taxes, covered his arrears by donating a core collection of his work to the French state. After a break for lunch in the Marais, we visit the National Museum of Art located in the Pompidou Centre. This was one of the first of Paris’ modernist buildings, built partly in response to the youth revolution of 1968 and intended to show that France could embrace modernity. This collection will take the narrative of modern art on from that of the Orsay, that is, from 1900 to the present. It is rich in the ‘classics’ of modern art – the Fauves, the Cubists, the Surrealists, but the museum is also resolutely contemporaneous, exposing us to aspects of recent art that may be less familiar. In the evening, we enjoy a farewell meal at an excellent restaurant. (B, D)

Hotel information

Hotel Mercure Paris Bercy Bibliotheque 4*

The Mercure Bercy offers clean, comfortable rooms in a great location on the banks of the Seine. We have the metro at our doorstep, the picturesque Bercy Park just across the river and a supermarket for convenience over the road. In Bercy, in the 12th arrondissement, we are on the edge of the Latin Quarter and only a 2.5km walk along the river to the Île de la Cité. Bercy Village used to be the centre of the wine trade and there are great cafés and markets in the area, often located in converted cellars and warehouses. The bars on the riverbank are an excellent spot to enjoy the summer sun and not pay typical Parisian prices! Hotel rooms in Paris are generally small but here we get larger rooms and more value for money than in the central tourist areas.

Weather on Tour Paris in July is variable but generally very pleasant, with long hours of sunlight and average temperature of 20°C. The average maximum is 24°C and the average minimum is 15°C. It is reasonable to expect some rain, such as the occasional afternoon thunderstorm, but it is typically a dry time of year.

Study Tours While study tours are full of group activities, a reasonable degree of independence is also required. Local public transport is used and there is a significant amount of walking. Some group dinners are included but not as many as on our standard tours. Your tour leader will of course show you around the neighbourhood, recommend restaurants and cafés and will provide full assistance if you encounter any difficulties.

Above: Manet’s The Balcony, now in the Musée d’Orsay Below: Bercy Village is housed in a former 19th-century wine storehouse. The Cour Saint Emilion is ideal for shopping and anyone who loves to watch the world go by from the terrace of a cafe. Bercy Park has also preserved the original orthogonal outline of its roadways and some cobbled pathways once used to transport wines from the banks of the Seine, well worth exploring

Tour Price The tour price is $5,470 per person, twin share (land content only). The single supplement for use of an apartment is $1,410 per person. A non-refundable deposit of $500 per person is required to secure a place on the tour.

About Academy TravelEach year Academy Travel organises around 60 journeys to Europe, the Mediterranean, Asia and the Americas, each focusing on a distinctive historical, artistic or cultural theme.

Academy Travel is an Australian-owned travel company, founded in 2004. The company’s staff includes both academic experts and travel professionals with over two decades’ industry experience. We also have our own office in Rome which organises our tours in Western Europe. This means we have direct control over the selection of hotels, restaurants, coaches and local guides, guaranteeing superior quality.

Years of experienceAcademy Travel was founded in 2004 by a team with decades of prior experience in small group travel. On average, our tour leaders have over 11 years’ experience, some with 25 or more years. To ensure quality, we have our own office in Rome, Italy and a network of trusted suppliers around the world.

Great itinerariesAcademy Travel works hard to create itineraries that provide a balanced experience – walking tours, museum and gallery visits, live performances, city and countryside. We’re proud to be constantly innovating, from opening up new destinations, creating tours around festivals and special exhibitions, to providing unrivalled depth in our residential tours.

Like-minded groupsOver the years we’ve been in operation, we’ve developed a loyal band of Academy Travellers, some of whom have travelled with us more than 10 times. They say the small groups (maximum 20, average 17) and distinct themes of our tours attract like-minded travellers and create a relaxed, convivial atmosphere.

Long staysFeedback from our clients consistently tells us that creating itineraries with three and four-night stops, or even longer, is far more appealing that rushing from place to place. Wherever possible, we plan our tours around a limited number of stops, making your travels more relaxed and more meaningful.

Special EventsA private viewing of the Sistine Chapel? Tickets to a sold-out concert by the Berlin Philharmonic? A world-famous art fair? Access to private homes and gardens? Behind-the-scenes visits? Many of our tours feature access to places and events that are usually not offered on most group tours.

Expert tour leadersWe work closely with a team of academically qualified and highly experienced tour leaders. They don’t just ‘rattle off the facts’ – they help us plan our itineraries and, on tour, freely share their deep knowledge and genuine passion. Most of our tour leaders are still teaching at an advanced level and many are still undertaking academic research.
