Paris Trip 4/5
The weather today was glorious. We spent the day walking around Paris - long day, but worth it. I was a little underwhelmed by the Pompidou Centre though. The garden at the Quai Branly Museum (Jean Nouvel) was also rather lovely - great use of glass baffles to provide an acoustic buffer from the road.
I was also in far more of a people photography mood as well today. Second entry will show that.

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.
