The course focuses on the study of the Latin poet Catullus through the reading of texts.

It will also tend to examine the contribution of Latin work to French poetry, or their acquaintances.
The reading of texts also involves the examination of significant facts in the fields of phonetics, morphology, lexicon and syntax.
Each poem is explained grammatically in class and translated, in order to constantly review the grammar of Latin on the basis of practical texts.
