    Well, I have unfortunately crashed in that university to study my favorite subject...English, and I…read morewas pretty much disappointed; to the point of resenting contempt towards the so-called 'English teachers' who worked there. I say 'so-called' because to my surprise -- or, should I not have been surprised -- some 'teachers' in the English department didn't speak English. As a result, something didn't square in the equation. For how could they claim to teach something they didn't know to speak?! Can a pilot be a pilot without knowing to pilot?! The teachers I met there were the most hypocritical people I had ever seen! Some teachers would tell you they were 'linguists'. But here again, it didn't square with the result because they neither knew to analyze nor speak the language they were studying. As a strategy to confuse you, they would say a huge development in French about the language but this development was disastrous because it didn't explain anything about the language. The seminars were a series of plagiarisms which the 'teachers' couldn't even corroborate. So, they kept giving you a list of what such and such person said on such and such topic. They just couldn't analyze scientific facts because they knew very little about the language. I remember a 'supervisor' telling me about the phonetics and phonology of English. But it was wrong because it was an assertion based on French observation and, most importantly, rendered invalid by phoneticians and phonologists who wrote literature on the subject in England! I cannot end without saying a word about an erudite Canadian friend of mine who spotted the plagiarism and who, for being too bright to have spotted it, got a bad mark! Well...too bad to be claiming one is so bright and knowledgeable for the sake of reputation and social welfare when the very opposite is the real truth! Learning the language on your own is even better than relying on this university, as far as English is concerned.

    From the owner: Classé au titre des Monuments Historiques Créée à l'initiative de Robert de Sorbon en 1257, cette…read moreuniversité n'était alors destinée qu'à seize étudiants de théologie démunis de ressources. Elle devint cependant rapidement le siège de théologie de l'université de Paris, jusqu'à sa fermeture lors de la Révolution. En 1822, ses activités reprirent sous le nom de siège du Rectorat et faculté des Lettres et des Sciences, dans des bâtiments reconstruits et agrandis au cours du XIXè siècle - dont la cour et les galeries se visitent librement. Seule la chapelle de la Sorbonne conserve son architecture du XVIIè siècle, de même qu'elle abrite toujours le tombeau de Richelieu, mais elle n'est ouverte au public que lors d'expositions temporaires.

    This is a lovely and interesting monument to visit. It's right across from Galerie Vivienne (also…read morerecommended). Mom and I came in on a bit of a whim--a coffee break was in order a head of our shop--and we're very pleased with what we discovered. Entry to the building is free--just pass through security and head on in while the building is open. If you want to check out the museum portion, just buy a ticket at the counter. The awesome news is the that the famous Oval Room is part of your free admission (it's one benefit of visiting an actual library). In addition to the beautiful architecture, you can head around the perimeter of the room and enjoy interactive mini-exhibits that include a virtual dress-up, trivia, and a hidden images game. On your way out (or in), stop and enjoy a coffee and a snack. The scones are great!

It houses a copy of all publications in Paris, and its museum traces back to 1368. My nephew had spent a lot of time studying in the Oval Room, and wanted to show it to me, since he knows I like libraries. He knew the less busy entrance, so got in after a few minutes in line, having to go through both an x-ray machine and hand search for backpacks. We didn't stay very long as the Oval Room's sitting areas were completely full, but that first view into the Oval Room is breath-taking.
