You may apply to be put on the waiting list\, but a place will only be allocated if there are cancellations. \nThe President and Committee of the Oxford University Society in Paris are pleased to invite you to a dinner at which our speaker will be Dr. Philip Mansel\, FRHistS\, Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres\, who will give us an illustrated talk on \n “Louis XIV and the English: from Francophobia to Francophilia” \nDate :         Saturday\, 16th November 2019You  \nTime :         6.00 for 6.30 pm apéritif\, 7.00 pm dinner* \nVenue :       Le Sénat\, Palais du Luxembourg\,  15 ter rue de Vaugirard\, 75006 Paris \nDress :         Lounge suits \n*N.B. Please note that the Senate will close its doors at 7.00 pm and that no admission will be possible after that time. So\, if you will be attending the dinner\, please make sure you arrive WELL BEFORE 7.00 pm. \nBookings are managed by the Oxford Society. Please use their registration form to reserve your places. \nPhilip Mansel read Modern History and Modern Languages at Balliol (1970) and received his doctorate on the French Court under the Restoration Monarchy from UCL. His first book\, Louis XVIII\, published in 1981\, together with his subsequent works\, such as The Court of France 1789-1830 and Paris Between Empires 1814-1852\, established him as an authority on the French Monarchy during its Restoration after the French Revolution and the July Monarchy. \nIn 1995\, Philip Mansel founded the Society for Court Studies\, together with David Starkey and others. He has also published books related to the Ottoman Empire and the Middle East. He has contributed numerous reviews and articles to well-known newspapers and journals and received many awards and decorations. \nIt may seem surprising\, but despite the wealth of historical writing devoted to the period\, Philip Mansel’s biography\, “King of the World: The Life of Louis XIV”\, published in July of this year [*]\, is by far the most comprehensive and up-to-date biography of “the Sun King”. Going far beyond an account of the public events of the reign which are perhaps better-known\, Philip Mansel explores the monarch’s contradictions and his inner life\, and presents a masterly depiction of the internal workings of his Court. He has achieved the feat of producing a biography which is both impeccably scholarly and immensely readable! \nThe dinner will be held in the splendid Salon Pourpre dining room of the Senate. \nPrices\, which include an aperitif and a 3-course dinner with wine and coffee\, are: \n\nmembers of OUSP\, OBA and CamSoc + 1 guest: €65 per person\njunior members <30 years old and current students + 1 guest: €49 pp\nnon-member alumni + additional guests: €75 pp\n\nPayment can be made \n\neither by cheque made out to OUSP\,\n or by bank transfer (details in attached Registration form).\n\nIf you wish to join us for the dinner\, please complete and return the attached Registration form as soon as possible and in any event for receipt by no later than Monday\, 4th November\, 2019. \nAs we are unable to increase the number of places reserved at the venue\, we recommend early registration to avoid disappointment. Registrations will be treated on a ‘first come\, first served’ basis and will be individually confirmed. \nMembers must provide their full names and those of their guests to be communicated to the Senate beforehand and photographic identity documents may be required for access to it on the evening. \nWe look forward to seeing you at the dinner. \nBest wishes\, \nCarol Amouyel Kent \nPresident Oxford Society of Paris \n[*] A number of copies will be available for sale at a discount.

This event is very highly recommended. \nSir Roger Penrose OM FRS is an English mathematical physicist. He studied at University College London and at St John’s College Cambridge and is now the Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of mathematics at Oxford. \nThe son of a psychiatrist and geneticist\, grandson of a physiologist\, brother of a physicist and of a chess grandmaster\, Roger Penrose has won numerous prizes and awards and is one of the most important living scientists in the world. He worked closely with Stephen Hawking and appeared in the film\, a Brief History of Time. \nThe work undertaken by Roger Penrose has been wide ranging and of immense importance. Taking but two examples: in 1964 he revolutionised the mathematical tools used to analyse the properties of space time and\, later\, his epoch-making paper “Gravitational collapse and space time singularities” lead to the cosmology of Big Bang and Black Holes which he worked on with Stephen Hawking. \nIn lighter vein\, Roger Penrose also devised the Penrose Triangle which he described as “impossibility in its purest form” which he conveyed to the artist M.C. Escher. \nThe topic of Professor Penrose’s Cambridge Cutting Edge Lecture is “Hawking Points in the Cosmic Microwave Sky” in which he will reveal his theories of cosmology and his scientific belief that our Universe is in fact just one of a series of Universes\, or eons\, each commencing with a Big Bang that had its origins in the dim distant past of a preceding Universe. \nHaving attended one of Roger Penrose’s lectures in London\, I can only say that it was utterly astounding. Deep\, cutting edge\, completely incomprehensible science delivered in a way that was\, anyway superficially\, understandable by all\, holding the audience enthralled. By the end\, my head was spinning with ideas and revelations beyond my wildest expectations. \nOver and above\, there will be the delight of seeing the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers and the beautiful historic amphitheatre Abbé Grégoire\, built in the 1840s\, named after the founder of the Conservatoire\, an important political figure during the French Revolution depicted in David’s famous painting The Serment du Jeu de Paume. \nThis lecture by Professor Sir Roger Penrose will probably be a one-off ever and a landmark experience for many. It is definitely not to be missed. \nAndrew Lyndon-Skeggs\nPresident\nCambridge Society of Paris URL:https://cambridgesocietyofparis.com/event/cambridge-cutting-edge-lecture-professor-sir-roger-penrose/ LOCATION:Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers\, 292 rue Saint Martin\, Paris\, 75003\, France CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cambridgesocietyofparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sir-Roger-Penrose.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Cambridge%20Society%20of%20Paris":MAILTO:admin@camsocparis.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20191010T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20191010T210000 DTSTAMP:20260417T204525 CREATED:20190202T115454Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191007T054614Z UID:2789-1570734000-1570741200@cambridgesocietyofparis.com SUMMARY:Challenge Debate against Trinity College Dublin DESCRIPTION:Thursday 10th October at 7 pm – Challenge Debate against Trinity College Dublin\nBooking has now closed for this event \nTHIS HOUSE BELIEVES THAT THE BEST IS YET TO COME \nIn similar fashion to our challenge to the Cambridge Union\, two years ago\, the Cambridge Society of Paris has challenged Trinity College Dublin to a debate  and we will be speaking in favour of the motion that the best is yet to come. \nOur speakers\, Andrew Lyndon-Skeggs and Edward Archer\, will be joined by Alan Riding as guest speaker. Alan graduated from Bristol University and was\, for 30 years\, a foreign correspondent for The New York Times. Alan spent two decades covering Latin America’s dictatorship\, armed rebellions\, drug wars and economic meltdown. He was later the newspaper’s Paris bureau chief and European cultural correspondent. He is author of books on Mexico\, Shakespeare and Opera and\, most recently\, of “And The Show Went On: Cultural Life in Nazi-occupied Paris.” He remains a resident of Paris. Andrew and Edward need little introduction to most of our members\, Andrew being the current President and Edward a past President of our Society. \nTCD have put forward an impressive team\, with Edward Donalon\, Declan McCavana and their guest speaker David Doyle. David is H.E Ambassador and Permanent Delegate to UNESCO of St. Kitts and Nevis\, while Declan is President of the French Debating Association. Edward is a Barrister and worked for the OECD before becoming an independent consultant in Regulatory Management. \nHE Ambassador of Ireland to France Patricia O’Brien has kindly agreed to host the debate\, which will take place at the Irish Embassy\, 12 Avenue Foch\, 75116 Paris. The Debate will be followed by drinks and the event is expected to conclude at 8:45 pm. \nTickets are now on sale: €20 per person for Society members and their guests\, with a discounted price of €10 per person for members or guests under 30 years of age. Early booking is recommended as we anticipate that demand may exceed the number of places that have been allocated to us. For members who are not able to book their place through the website\, a PDF booking form can be obtained by contacting Tony Banton on admin@camsocparis.org. \nUnless all tickets are sold before\, the final date for booking your place is Sunday 6th October\, as the list of participants then has to be provided to the Embassy’s security staff. \nAs the debate takes place in the Irish Embassy\, members and guests must bring photographic ID in order to be admitted to the event. \n  URL:https://cambridgesocietyofparis.com/event/challenge-debate-against-trinity-college-dublin/ LOCATION:Irish Embassy Paris\, 12 avenue Foch\, Paris\, 75116\, France CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cambridgesocietyofparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Irish-Embassy-Paris.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Cambridge%20Society%20of%20Paris":MAILTO:admin@camsocparis.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20190928T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20190928T163000 DTSTAMP:20260417T204525 CREATED:20190910T130900Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190924T125103Z UID:14962-1569679200-1569688200@cambridgesocietyofparis.com SUMMARY:Glory Days of Paris 3 - Guided Walk in Montparnasse DESCRIPTION:GLORY DAYS OF PARIS \nGuided Walk in Montparnasse to accompany the third lecture of the Glory Days Series \n“The Artists and Writers of the 1920s and ’30s” \nUnfortunately\, because of ill health on the part of our Lecturer\, Mary McAuliffe\, the third lecture in the Glory Days of Paris series has had to be postponed.
