Paris Soirée: Echoes of the Colonial Past (3/4)
Thursday, September 17th at 5 PM Eastern Time

Best known for its universities, bookshops and vibrant student life, the Latin Quarter on the Left Bank of Paris is also home to two of the city’s most interesting colonial-era buildings. Many tourists enjoy mint tea in the atmospheric, bird-filled café of the Mosque without realizing that penetrating the interior of this religious institute is like stepping into the gardens of Andalucia.  Hordes of visitors flock to the Jardin du Luxembourg on sunny afternoons, but few look up and notice the ornate North African façades of the former colonial school on the southern side of the gardens.  Join me on a journey of discovery that will take us to Cambodia and Morocco in order to unwrap the stories of these unique institutions.
