The Sorbonne's international reputation has always placed it among Europe's most important universities. It is a vital part of a long university tradition.

Robert de Sorbon founded a college in 1253 for theology students without money. The pope approved of the idea, and it later became the University of Paris.

Cardinal Richelieu was elected president of the Sorbonne in August 1622 and decided to rebuild it all. He gave the work to Jacques Le Mercier and the first stone was laid on March 28, 1627. The Sorbonne Church was begun in 1635, and is the home of Richelieu's tomb, and Girardon's sculpture of the Cardinal. The chapel is the only building still standing from this era. The Sorbonne was rebuilt again by Nenot in 1883 in order to provide more room for the increasing demands of students. Amphitheaters, test rooms, labs, a library with over 2 million works, and an observatory were all built for the growing student body. La Sorbonne view from the sky. The left side of the chapel acts as an edge of the big courtyard of the Sorbonne. It is flanked by a portico formed by ten Corinthian columns between which opens the big door.

Musee du Louvre Until 4th january 2010 From 9:00 up to 22:00

A major event at the Louvre: powerful canvases by the greatest Venetian painters of the sixteenth century are presented side by side in Napoleon Hall in an exhibition allowing visitors to observe the play of inspiration and admiration between these geniuses as well as the competitive nature of their artistic dialogue. Including eighty-five canvases, most of which have been loaned for the occasion by prestigious museums worldwide, the exhibition brings this noble rivalry into focus through juxtapositions of paintings treating the same or equivalent themes, thus demonstrating just how much these artists were influenced by one another or instead used their paintings as critiques or to put forward their own personal interpretations. Although Titian, named official painter to the Republic in 1516, dominated the Venetian art scene, the arrival of later generations—Bassano, Tintoretto, Veronese, Palma the Younger—and the influence of artistic developments in central Italy, resulted in novel treatments of subjects favored by Venetian artists in the second half of the sixteenth century.

From wednesday 28th octobre 2009 to monday 4th january 2010 From 9:30 to 22:00

Galeries nationales - Grand Palais, Champs-Elysées

This is the first exhibition ever organized that focuses on the Impressionist master’s late career. From 1890 Renoir returned to a more classic way of painting focussing on the female nude and deploying a flowing Rubensian brushwork. His move to Cagnes in the south of France also affected his color which became hotter and richer echoing his need for warmth and vitality at a time when he was increasingly crippled by arthritis. His late paintings had a great impact on the work of younger painters, like Bonnard and Denis but also on Picasso and Matisse, who actually visited him on several occasions during WWI. This a unique opportunity to see some of Renoir’s best late works in a show organized in partnership with two major American museums, LACMA and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
