Beyond the Tunnel of History by Jacques Darras.
3: Highways of Freedom 'Freedom is never genuine without the liberty to move freely.' In medieval times European students would travel from
Oxford to Paris to
Heidelberg or Padua. In the 18th and 19th centuries it was the wealthy and literary who undertook the 'grand tour'. Today a new mobility is within everyone's grasp - and will be further eased by the opening of the Channel Tunnel.
