    I’m on my way to the 2024 Olympics in France. This time I took the train it took us three hours to get there. I must say it was really comfortable. We were really lucky to get a really reasonable Airbnb in Paris.

      The cathedral was built over 600 years, from 1248 to 1880.
      To this day, constant maintenance and renovation work has to be carried out on the building. It is a permanent construction site and involves immense costs every year.
      There is a joke among the people of Cologne:" If Cologne Cathedral is ever completely finished, the world will end."

      @@heatherstephens9295 Entry to the building itself is free. If you want to climb the tower you have to pay, as well as if you want to visit the cathedral treasury. And there are also guided tours that cost something. Yes, there is also a cathedral Shop where the profits from sales benefit the cathedral. But a large part of the costs will proberly be covered by tax money and donations. If you are a member of a Church in Germany, you also have to pay extra church tax.

      During the Olympics, Paris is a safe city. It's full of french cops and foreigner cops (Slovakia, GB, Spain, South Korea, Qatar). Local people do not recognize their city. It's a happy period. But as soon as the Olympics will end, all the crap will be back.

    I went to the Cathedral in 1979 when I was a small kid. My mother got her Seiko watch repaired. For the first I had a hot dog and a slush and bought a cassette of BoneyM. My late father was posted in Moscow then and my late brother ( who was born in Moscow and died in Melbourne very young) was left with his Ukranian Nanny.

    The reason for the British flag at the Gare du Nord train station is it's the area where travellers to the UK go through UK immigration & customs before they board the train to London. It's because the UK isn't in the EU anymore.
