Visits – Saturday 5 AprilIn the morning\, we’ll go to the house and grounds on the Left Bank (now Les Missions Etrangères) where Elizabeth Gaskell stayed several times on her visits to Paris. The site is not normally open to the public. Then to the house of the novelist Emile Zola (1840-1903)\, which is half an hour to the west of Paris by train. Zola was a socially concerned novelist and Maison Zola is a superbly restored example of a 19th-century writer’s house\, full of ideas for how Elizabeth Gaskell’s House might be developed. NotesEasyjet offers a choice of flights to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport every day from almost all UK airports\, while flights from the rest of the world are also regular and plentiful. The Eurostar is more comfortable and environmentally friendly\, though more expensive\, with costs depending on your point of origin.  Paris time is an hour ahead of UK time. https://larca.u-paris.fr/en/home/   \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n Categories: \n Conference \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Université Paris Cité\n \n \n\nSalle 0011\, bâtiment Sophie Germain\n \n \n Campus des Grands Moulins\, Place Aurélie Nemours\,\n\n 75013 Paris\n\n\n France\n\n\n\n\n + Google Map \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n Add to calendar \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Google Calendar\n\n \n iCalendar\n\n \n Outlook 365\n\n \n Outlook Live\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n Knutsford Meeting - Adam Bede\, Ruth and Mary Barton \n\n\n \n \n The Gaskell Society Annual General Meeting 2025 URL:https://gaskellsociety.co.uk/event/paris-conference-elizabeth-gaskell-revolutionary/ LOCATION:Université Paris Cité\, Salle 0011\, bâtiment Sophie Germain\, Campus des Grands Moulins\, Place Aurélie Nemours\, 75013 Paris\, France CATEGORIES:Conference END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
