You can place your order for teaching copies of the AQA Anthology: Paris.
Digital texts
The anthology includes a number of digital texts which can be accessed here:
- Stories are Waiting in Paris [YouTube]
- Rick Steves' Walking Tour of the Louvre Museum [Rick Steves website, mp3]
- Paris Riots 1968 [British Pathé website]
Please note that Lonely Planet are no longer licencing any of their online material, so we’ve removed the links to their video guides (Paris City Guide and Paris: Fine French Food) from our AQA Paris anthology.
This will not impact on how learners are assessed in the exam, as they are not required to understand and interpret the texts. In the exam, students will be assessed on their response to the written text from extracts from two texts in the anthology, and are not expected to make reference to any associated digital content.
Notes
In response to queries from teachers, we would also like to add this information to the following contextualisations:
- Mile by Mile London to Paris. The maps produced by Reginald Piggott in this text mirror the cartographic method used by S N Pike in his book Mile by Mile on Britain's Railways, published in 1947.
