TRA200: LYON - FRANCE'S MOST
UNDER-RATED CITY
Session | Thursday | Jan 25 | 10AM-12N
In-Person only | Beaufort campus
When you think of France, you normally think of Paris.
Pressed for another answer, you might come up with
Nice, Bordeaux, the D-Day Beaches of Normandy. But
Lyon? It is usually much lower on the list - but it
shouldn't be. Arguably the gastronomic capital of the
country, and home to several UNESCO World
Heritage sites, Lyon tends to y under the tourism
radar. Surprises await you around every corner: old
and new at the same time, leisurely and exciting,
urban with a small-town vibe. Join us as we learn
something about its history and its present-day life.
TRA201: KEY WEST - CLOSE TO HOME
BUT FAR FROM NORMAL
1 Session | Friday | Jan 26 | 10AM-12N
In-Person only | Bluton campus
James William Buet may have recently left us, but
the place that inspired so much of his music (and his
life) remains - in all of its strange and unusual glory.
Key West may be small (2 miles by 4 miles) but is so
dierent from the rest of the state in which it is
located that it has to be experienced to be believed.
Military base, shing village, gay mecca - even a
separate country for a few short minutes - writer
Hunter S Thompson once said it was "where the
weird turn pro." Jimmy wasn't the only person to
leave his mark on the island - join us to meet the
entire cast of characters over its almost 200-year
history.
JIM NICHOLSON is an OLLI instructor for
several South Carolina OLLI Lifelong Learning
institutions including OLLI Furman, OLLI
Clemson, and Lifelong Learning at Woord
