Dialog - Paris 2011

In Paris with the "men's group" consisting of Volker, Michael, Sven, Seth, Sascha and myself.

The trip started on Friday morning at the Karlsruhe train station - from where we took the TGV train to Paris. After we had checked in to the hotel, we went out for lunch in the "Rue Mouffetard", a colorful street ligned with restaurants, bars and cafes. In the afternoon, we walked towards the Seine , visited Centre Pompidou and the Louvre before heading out into the night.

The night out in the 5th arrondissement of Paris.

We spent most of Saturday walking past some of the major site seeing locations in Paris, the Eiffel tower, the Champs Elysées with the triumphal arch, up through Montmartre to the Sacré-Cœur, down back on the other side through the 10th arrondissement of Paris.

Our second night out.

After two long days and nights, we were exhausted and relieved to be on the train. Unfortunately we had to wait quite a while for its departure - a time I used to walk around the Gare de l'Est a bit.
