Join us for a six-week course to explore politics, society, religion and culture during the Stuart Restoration era, with reference to the reign of the ‘Merry Monarch’ Charles II (1660 – 1685) and the succession crisis that followed his death in 1685.

Venez découvrir et écouter celui qui, à ses débuts, sera surnommé Charles, le Fou chantant. Avec une carrière remarquable commencée en 1933 et qui s’achève en 1999, soit deux ans avant sa mort, Charles Trenet a pu se produire sur les plus grandes scènes françaises et internationales. Malgré les épreuves qu’il a rencontrées dans sa vie, il a su rester une figure incontournable de la chanson française, célébrée pour son talent d’auteur-compositeur-interprète. Certaines de ses chansons sont restées des succès populaires intemporels (Douce France, La Mer, Ménimontant), au-delà même du monde Francophone.







This course is designed for both advanced French learners as well as native speakers of French.
