The Nord is a high speed train station
of ancient Roman architecture
Behind the wrought iron grill and gates...

The underground entrance to the top of the arc
Back in Cluny for supper!
Our restaurant of choice
and the nearby Notre Dame
The Place de la defense further west
complete with street performers
Few of the many posh shopping arcades

An early example of neoclassicism

The first in Britain!
it's a 2 layer cell
it's one of the most famous monuments in Paris
Underground access under the Charles de Gaulle
the life on the rock
Behind these walls
The view of freedom
A new day! along Saint Michel!
A sight to behold at least
That's all for Paris, for now!

Inaugurated in 1836
No wonder it's called the rock!

Many interesting ways inmates try to break out of the cells
