This course was born from the collaboration of the Association Paysage et patrimoine sans frontière with numerous collaborators, in France, Italy, Portugal. In this course, we build pedagogic tools of the history of the blue colour, as European social fact, through the articulation of language, literature, photography, multi-sensory approachs, and art history. Positioned at the crossroads of humanistic culture, literature and science, the course is a great success for teachers and trainers. Since Paris and Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the blue colour is buildind roads through all the European capitals.
