Fluidr / old&timer's favorites

I have walked around and sat inside Notre-Dame. It took my breath away. I had always wanted to see this great historical and religious building since I was a child. I had read Victor Hugo's "Notre-Dame de Paris" and was always fascinated with this magnificent cathedral and it's history. 800 years old. It seemed eternal.

If this tears my heart out I can't imagine how The French, who are so proud of their rich history, must be feeling. The Eiffel Tower might be the most immediately thought-of icon of the country, but Notre-Dame is the very heart and soul of France. My heart goes out to all who loved Notre-Dame and everything that it meant, to the French and to the world.
