The beginning of La Sorbonne dates from 1257 when a small college for 16 poor students willing to study theology was established.
During the centuries, La Sorbonne was rebuilt and restored so as to become the most important university in France.
The current building has, between others, 22 lecture halls, two museums, 37 tutorial rooms, 240 laboratories and an astronomy tower. Address: 47 rue des EcolesDirections: M: Cluny - La Sorbonne (line 10)

L'Université de Paris, better known as La Sorbonne, dates back to 1253. It has a long and rich history of academic excellence and student riots (does May 68 ring any bell?), and among its most illustrious students are Nobel Prize winner and novelist Elie Wiesel, Pierre Elliott Trudeau (former Prime Minister of Canada), Norman Mailer, Jean-Paul Sartre and Jean-Luc Godard, just to name a few. Students come from all over the world to study at La Sorbonne thanks to its great international reputation - in fact, it was a childhood dream of mine to one day study at La Sorbonne; it hasn't come true yet, but at least I got to see it! Or part of it anyways - unfortunately, since September 11, 2001, it is no longer possible to walk around the campus but you can still admire some of its buildings while walking through the streets of the Latin Quarter.

Built in the Jesuit style between 1635 and 1642, Eglise de la Sorbonne was designed by Lemercier.
On the cupola are painted Richelieu's coat of arms and angels.
Inside the church, that at the time of our visit was closed for restoration works, is the tomb of Cardinal Richelieu, made of white marble carved by Girardon. Directions: M: Cluny - La Sorbonne (line 10)

As it is well-known, la Sorbonne is the oldest university in France. Its age is more than 750 years. It is situated near to bd Saint Michel. Rober de Sorbonne was the confessor of Lui IX. He established the university in 1253. The teaching was conducted in Latin. Since then the area where Sorbonne is situated is named the Latin quartal. In 1635-1642 the church of Sorbonne was constructed. It is the unique ancient university building which kept up till now. Cardinal Rishele is buried in this church.

Our accommodation was in a street running along side the Sorbonne University and from our attic window we had a view across the university. Situated in the Latin Quarter the university was established in 1253 and was originally intended as a theology college and known as La Sorbonne but the name changed to University de Paris afer the revolution.
Many famous names are connected to this university, one being St Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556) the founder of the Jesuits which brings back memories of my school days being educated by Jesuits. Leave a Comment Address: 47 rue des Ecoles, 75005Directions: Metro Line 10 : Cluny-La Sorbonne
