According to the National Institute of Arts and Crafts, France, a land of cathedrals, is the country with the largest surface area of stained glass in the world, at 90,000 m2 of stained glass.
Lesson 4: Matisse, le papier découpé

Lesson 5: Julie-Victoire Daubié, la première bachelière
In 2020, three hundred thousand candidates are trying to get the baccalaureate. On August 17, 1861, there was only one.
Lesson 9: L'école de Chartes sur un timbre
The School of Charters is the only institution in the world to train experts to decipher ancient writings, translate them, transcribe them and give their meaning to old documents – an estate, a deed of sale … – whatever either the medium, the language and the time.
Lesson 10: L'or de Camille Claudel
“I showed her where to find the gold, but the gold she finds is hers.” Auguste Rodin
Lesson 8: Bizet, musicien surdoué
Georges Bizet was a very inspired composer, drawing from literature and Italian landscapes, but above all from the torment of human feelings, of which he himself fell prey. Little recognized during his lifetime by the general public, his work had nevertheless conquered the circle of composers who saw in him the revival of French music.
