L'espérluette

America is my country, but Paris is my home town. -Gertrude Stein

The most moving monument in Paris...

The memorial to the 200,000 French citizens deported and killed by the Nazis is not designed to make you comfortable. It's hard, it's hidden, it's claustrophobic.

Come here first, then head to the other end of the Ile de la Cité to see Sainte Chappelle. You'll feel better.











Forgive, don't forget.
