PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Each student will select one individual metro stop in Paris. During the first week of classes, the student will visit that metro stop and reflect upon their first impressions of Paris by way of the metro stop.

Students must go above ground and walk in at least a quarter mile radius around the metro stop. What is the neighborhood like? What type of businesses or monuments are there? Restaurants? Street food? How is Paris different than Miami? How is Paris similar to Miami? Which social and economic issues does the neighborhood make you reflect upon? Which cultural issues engage you?

PARIS METRO STOPS
Below are 18 suggested metro stops to select from chosen by Professor Bailly. No two students may select the same stop. If a student wishes to explore a metro stop not listed here that is fine, as long as no other student has selected that stop.

Abbesses
Cité
Champ de Mars
Charles de Gaulle Étoile
Concorde
Denfert Rochereau
Gare d’Austerlitz
Les Halles
Luxembourg
Madeleine
Odéon
Palais Royal
République
Saint Germain des-Prés

Trocadero
Tuileries

METRO STOP SELECTION PROCESS
Professor Bailly will create a “Paris Metro Claims” chat on WhatsApp.
At a specific time, in class, the claims will open.
Students will post their one metro stop pick. Students are to post only their first choice.
The student that posts a metro stop first on the chat, as seen on Bailly’s phone, will get that Metro stop.
If the metro stop a student wants is already claimed, the student must repost a new choice.
