Dove Cottage
& Wordsworth Museum
Dove Cottage was home to the Romantic poet William Wordsworth (1770-1850) and his
family for 8 1/2 years (1799-1808). Here Wordsworth wrote many of his most
famous poems. There are many ideas associated with 'Romatic' poetry, but one of the most important for Wordsworth was to show the link between human experience
and the natural world. Wordsworth loved and drew inspiration from the landscape
of the Lake District, his home. Today we hope the the importance of place
has been retained: that interacting with Wordsworth's work, in the place it was
created, allows the freshness of the original inspiration to live. |

The Louvre -
Paris
The Louvre, in its successive architecural metamorphoses, has dominated central
Paris since the late 12th century. Built on the city's western edge, the original
structure was gradually engulfed as the city grew. The dark fortress of the
early days was transformed into the modernised dwelling of Francois I and, later,
the sumptuous palace of the Sun King, Louis XIV. Here your group can explore
the history of this extraordinary edifice and of the museum that has occupied it
since 1793 |
