If you don't know any French, say "Musee >des Arts et Metiers" three times before breakfast and develop a taste for >moules marinieres! > >Our custom-designed two-week trip will begin in Paris on 19 June 2002 and >will end (probably in Switzerland) on July 3 2002. Our accommodations in >Paris will be in the Latin Quarter, on the left bank of the Seine, in a >comfortable two or three star hotel right in the center of everything. We >will visit many sites of interest in the history of science, including the >Institut Pasteur, the Curie Museum, and the above mentioned Musee des Arts et >Metiers, which contains a wealth of objects of great importance, including >Lavoisier's laboratory equipment and the design model of the Statue of >Liberty made by Bartholdi prior to his construction of "our" Statue. The >itinerary for the rest of the tour through France and Switzerland is not yet >fixed, but may well include a visit to the Burgundy region, where a close >study of the wine-making process would be undertaken, including a visit to a >vineyard. Pasteur's birthplace, some of the lovely chateaux of France and >CERN, the European particle physics lab are other places which we may >include. Then we would travel on through the Swiss Alps to Berne and Zurich. > As this is a special, custom-designed tour, you will often be able to visit >places to which you would not be able to gain entry on your own and meet >local speakers who can give insights into the local culture or aspects of >science history. > >The cost of the trip is not yet determined, but as a guideline, this year's >(2001) trip cost $2400 per person double occupancy. This price DOES NOT >include transatlantic airfare but DOES include all accommodations, >transportation by luxury coach, all breakfasts, many other meals, all >entrances fees, lectures and often a glass of wine. > >Science History Tours is a non-profit organization set up to provide >education in the history of science for teachers and other interested >persons. Non-scientist traveling companions will find much to interest them. > Graduate credit of 3 semester hours will be available for a small extra >charge, and CPDUs will be available for teachers. > >Many people have already expressed their interest in joining the trip, but >space is limited, so if you would like to join us, please let us know early. >The maximum group size will be around 25 people. > >To be put on the mailing list for further information about the 2002 tour, >contact: >Yvonne Twomey, 841 Kinston Court, Naperville, IL 60540 Tel:630-961-9811 >e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] >or Lee Marek, Tel: 630-420-7516 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Attachment converted: Macintosh HD:IrerlandTrip2001.doc (W8BN/MSWD) (000196CE) -- Diana Dummitt College of Education 1310 S.
