Interractive Maps and Digital Reconstruction
HIST 336 “Ancien Regime and Revolution” will explore early seventeenth-century urbanization in terms of the Place des Vosges and the Place Dauphine.
During the Fall semester of 2011, students will continue adding flash componets to the Les Halles de Paris 3D model.
The Place des Vosges is the oldest planned square in Paris. It is located in the Marais district and straddles the dividing-line between the 3rd and 4th arrondissements of Paris.
The Place Dauphine- laid out in 1609 while the Place des Vosges was still under construction- was named for the Dauphin of France, the future Louis XIII.
