For me it is the beautiful, spacious and light-filled old building through which I travel when I am going between two places I love, Paris and Champagne. But there is also a very poignant, understated, and mostly overlooked memorial to the Jews who were deported from France from this station during WWII, etched into the wall of the station near the quais. I always take the time to read it again whenever I am there and I have time to spare.
