Multidisciplinary by design (history, literature, performance arts, philosophy, musicology, aesthetics, etc.), this seminar is for the Masters students in the faculté des lettres de Sorbonne Université.

After a morning of classes taken by their professor, they spend the rest of the day visiting the Versailles estate with the palace curators or members of the Centre de recherche.

The Centre de recherche holds around ten days throughout the university year based on a programme drawn up with the teaching staff.

The programme for the 2026–2027 academic year will be published shortly.
