From troubadours to artists, from ancient Romans to modern-day expats, the south of France has attracted individuals and communities to its natural wonders, history, and culture. Join Professor Karin Maag on a four-week virtual tour of key sites and moments in the history of southern France from the ancient world to the present. Along the way, we’ll focus on the impact of French Protestantism (the Huguenots), the draw of the French Riviera, and the legacy of Vichy France (including the actions of inhabitants in Le Chambon to protect and conceal Jewish children and families).
