On the Ile-de-la-Cité sits the Cathedral of Notre Dame ca. 1345.
The story of Quasimodo "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"
The bell
Gargoyle and Eiffel Tower
People are resting in the shade just outside Notre Dame Cathedral.
People playing with flame at night in front of Notre Dame Cathedral.
Deportation Memorial to the 200,000 French victims of the Nazi concentration camps. Descending the steps as the city of Paris disappears around you, surrounded by walls like a prisoner. A plaque on the floor reads "They descended into the mouth of the earth and they did not return."
This hallway stretches in front of you, lined with 200,000 crystals, each representing one victim. Flickering at the far end is the eternal flame of hope. At your feet lies the tomb of the unknown deportee. As you exit, above your head the message reads "Forgive but never forget."
