Speak English while visiting le musée du CNAM, Conservatoire National des Arts & Métiers

I suggest an outing to walk & practice, improve our oral English & enrich our culture.

Some ideas:

- The Foucault pendulum to show that the Earth is turning on itself.

- The 'Eole 2' of Clément Ader (first flying identified object) heavier than air.

- The chemical laboratory of Lavoisier (Nothing is created, nothing is lost, every thing is transformed).

- The adding Machine from Pascal.

- The Cray 1, a scalar very powerfull computer (World Wide Record).

- & A lot of technical objects, very interesting.

It's a free outing because the museum is free on the first Sunday of the month.

The goal is: improve our English & better understand our technical roots.

Let' have fun together!

PS :

- During this outing for one or two people, I leave you to go where & how you want. i. e. you visit the place the way you choose & I follow you. I can echange with you walking aside me. I well know the place & I'm a scientist.

  Due to bad wheather, meet you inside. I'll send you my cell phone number, which could be helpfull In case of problem.

  First w'll queue up at the tickets desk, inside the entrance hall, to get a free ticket. On the first Sunday of the month, the museum is free, but we NEED IT to take the lift to the beginning of the visit (second floor).
