Today's cultural experience was the Paris Pantheon. Originally a church, it was converted to a mausoleum at about the time of the French Revolution and became completely secular. The idea behind it is that France's great and wonderful be interred there. Obviously not all of them are and there is a huge list of names of those that aren't. The crypt underneath is pretty impressive with room for many more coffins than the 300 currently interred. Madam Curie is one of 3 women interred there.
We travelled back to Braunschweig using the fast French train, Thalys, from paris to Cologne (which goes via Brussels). Security was just like flying with all passengers having to put their bags through a scanner plus each person walk through one with their jackets open. ISIS have a lot to answer for.
