About this audio guide
This guide to the Musée de l'Ecole in Carcassonne's medieval Cité starts at a single inkwell and the pupils who dreaded it. It follows the unwritten justice of the French classroom from an eighteen thirty-three law to the donkey-eared cap, and the collector who began saving old school desks in nineteen eighty. Best heard beside the wooden desks in the first classroom.
