Paris City & Civ

Paris City and Civ is a web platform that uses multimedia storytelling organized around tours of Parisian neighborhoods and Parisian sites to explore the urban development and rich artistic and cultural heritage of the City of Light. Each point on the interactive location-enabled map includes information about the site that relates it to the historoy, architecture, artistic and literary movements centered in Paris, and the urban development of the city.  Stories are illustrated by images that may include related art works, archival images, and photos taken by students during a study abroad experience in Paris.
