I’m now about a quarter of the way through my stay in France, carrying out preliminary research for my dissertation and regaining as much as I can of my somewhat atrophied spoken French (reading a language is such a different matter from speaking it!).

So far, I’ve primarily been working at the Archives nationales.<\/p>\n

The staff there have all been very helpful so far, and very gracious as I fumble with remember my vocabulary.

Next week, however, I’ll be moving to work at the Biblioth\u00e8que nationale, where hopefully there will be more documents which are more directly relevant to what I’m working on\u2014though of course a brand new system for me to get used to!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
