13-17 September 2008 --  Tour to Chartres / Paris / Laon -- with Dr. Karen Ralls, presenter and guide, organized by the Jupiter Trust (Oxford, England).  Come join us as we explore the extraordinary birth and development of the Gothic style in France, which led to a futher flowering of the great Gothic cathedrals of the High Middle Ages. Our journey will also explore the wisdom of the medieval builders and the symbolism they have left us,  stained glass,  the sacred Feminine, the Black Madonnas, geometry,  music,  and much more.  Based initially in Chartres with its stunning cathedral, crypt and labyrinth, we will also be visiting Paris -- including Sainte-Chapelle ("Holy Chapel") with its world-renowned stained glass windows, the many glories of Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Musee Cluny, home to the famed "Lady and the Unicorn" tapestries and other medieval treasures -- as well as Laon, one of the oldest Gothic cathedrals in France.  Far from a mere "Dark Age", the 12th-13th centuries peak of Gothic did not occur in a vacuum, but was in fact part of a much larger cultural milieu at the time that included other elements, such as the writing of the Grail romances, the crusades and pilgrimages, the Knights Templar,  east-west cultural exchange, and more.  Dedicated to Notre Dame, the cathedrals and medieval chapels still reveal to us today the Wisdom of the ages. "Sold out"
