History immersion courses in Paris
 
Hello everyone
Can anyone help me with schools, associations, etc who does short-term history immersion courses in Paris. Plan to stay in Paris one month and take a course to learn about the history of Paris/France as well as its' art.

Any ideas?

Check to see if the Musee Carnavalet, the museum of Paris history, has any such classes.

Have a look at this website- WICE-
I think you'll find what you're looking for:

WICE, a nonprofit anglophone, volunteer-based association, provides cultural and educational programs and services to the international community in Paris.

thank you very much for your replies. I shall check out WICE.

If anyone has more suggestions, it would be much appreciated.

I'm guilty. I'm a history buff. From your computer seat, a lot of history is offered on what I think is a new website offered by a guide that is chock-full of historical comments
www.paris-promenades.com
Architecture, good walks, interesting sites...have fun
Also, the book "Seven Ages of Paris" by Alistair Horne is intense.

Are you looking for classes in English, or would French be okay?

In English, my French is terrible!
