Sorbonne, founded at the beginning of the 13th century, is one of the oldest educational institutions in Europe. Its divisions occupy several buildings of the Latin Quarter. A few more university faculties are located in other areas of the city. Sorbonne is not just a university, but a whole city of science. This university has tens of institutes that belong to it.
Of course, the most interesting sorbonna building from a historic point of view is located between the Luxembourg Garden and the Cathedral of the Paris Mother of God. It occupies a whole quarter. The beautiful facade of sorbonna also deserve attention, and the pretty square with fountains and sculptures located in front of it, and many cafes located around it. Sitting in one of them, I watched students running at the lecture and immediately remembered the series of my youth "Helen and Guys". The packs of young people seemed to be descended from the television and fled on the streets of merry and happy.
Get inside, at the University's territory you can from 9.00 to 17.00. The entrance is free.
Sorbonne to each very little pebble is impregnated with the spirit of culture and science. Yes, and it can not be different. These walls were taught and the greatest Millennium Mellenches studied! Wide the widespread stairs, sit in the full vintage books of the library, dream in the halls for lectures - and all this in the same place, where Viktor Hugo, Deni Didro, Onore de Balzac and Maria Curi herself ... Incredible!
If you have such an opportunity, be sure to come here with children (schoolchildren). I am sure, after walking here, they will have a dream. And where is the dream - there is a goal.
