We're pleased to continue to provide free, daily lectures. We are hearing from teachers around the country that they are enjoying our lectures and sharing them with their students.
- Loving these and that they are presented by people living in the specific countries.
- These are fabulous! I always recommend them to my students. I can only hope they're watching.
- Really enjoying these webinars. My kids are frustrated with online learning, and this is such a bright spot for them, so I'm very thankful.
- Fantastique! I will definitely use this video with my classes.

Parisian Street Furniture: The Sequel
With Julian Moseley
Parisian streets are teeming with interesting and often quite beautiful objects that today we would call “street furniture”, and yet many visitors know little about them, or may not even notice them. I can guarantee that this lecture will open your eyes to things you’ve either never noticed before, or had noticed but had no idea what they were. You’ll never see Paris in the same light again!
