Paris Trip 1/5

Day One of the Paris Trip.

Around 50 of us headed to Paris this morning (getting the 05:58 from Ebbsfleet - talk about an early start!) arriving at Gare du Nord around 09:20. We spent the day navigating around various interesting locales (Louvre, Centre for the Arab World, the Metro, Notre Dame) in what was a whistle-stop tour. 

One place though made an indelible impression - The Memorial to the Deported, or The Holocaust Memorial, next to Notre-Dame.

Everyone should visit at least one memorial to the Holocaust in their lifetime.

I couldn’t stop crying.
