The Communication & Media Studies Conference is pleased to offer the following pre-conference Walking Tour.
From the guide: "Ile-de-la-Cite, the little island dominated by the towers of Notre Dame Cathedral and the spire of the Sainte Chapelle, is the cradle of Paris. It is a unique place where it is still possible to read the history of the city from the beginning to the XXI century. Follow me in this tour back in time: I will bring Medieval Paris back to life. We will start our tour at the Sainte Chapelle (outside and inside), to admire its amazing stained glasses and walk in front of the Conciergerie, to learn the history behind its imposing. Following the little street of the Latin district we will finally arrive in front of Notre Dame. The church is now open after the fire so we will visit it. The tour will end just in front of the Cathedral."
