Millennials in 13th century Paris

In fall 2018, we will follow the life of a typical 20-year-

old in Europe’s largest, most cosmopolitan city. From

royalty and aristocrats to merchants and clerics, from

knights and students to gamblers, prostitutes, and

beggars. We will examine the private lives of people

within their homes, and their public life in the city and

will discover how they dressed, ate, washed, slept,

loved, worked, fought, worshipped, danced, and played.
