Our Programme
The Association’s annual programme covers free, public lectures on the Cathedral,
and – for its members – excursions, guided tours and themed travel.
Lectures
Whether big-name speakers or rising stars from university departments in France, Germany and Switzerland, many of them use it to give their hearers a preview of ideas and discoveries which have not yet been aired in the specialised journals.
Drawn from a broad range of relevant disciplines, they include historians, art historians and archaeologists, as well as theologians, musicologists and others.
Talks of 1-1 1/2 hours, question time included, are held every month-or-so from October to June at the Munsterhof, 9 rue des Juifs.
Talks begin at 6 p.m. They are open to all and free of charge.
Our programme is now defined in close collaboration with the Œuvre Notre-Dame.
Follow our blog for summaries of our talks.
Excursions and tours
Members-only tours, led by specialists, are another important part of our programme.
In Strasbourg itself, we organise tours of the Cathedral, the city’s medieval churches, museums, exhibitions, etc. several times a year.
Once or twice a year, we have excursions to towns in Alsace or adjacent regions, as well as longer journeys, lasting several days.
Follow our blog for news and insights on our excursions and tours.
