From mummified écorché figures to bone-lined catacombs, during this tour you will discover the foundations of the modern science of medicine in two French cities: Paris, where the ‘Paris School’ of hygiene and hospital teaching flourished and Montpellier, home to the world’s oldest university medical faculty and its medicinal garden. Follow in the footsteps of scientists including Louis Pasteur who pioneered the first vaccines, Rene Laennec whose stethoscope is a symbol of medical professionals still today, and Marie Curie – the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. Accompanied by award-winning journalist and author, Linda Geddes, we will travel by train throughout, spending the first four nights in the French capital, followed by two nights in Montpellier.
