Day two in Paris

September 4, 2008

As our second trip to Paris we went for the sites that were unique. In 1785 the hygiene problems posed by Paris’ over flowing cemeteries was solved by exhuming the bones and storing them in three disused quarries. One created in 1810 is now known as the catacombs. 130 steps below street level, 1.6 km of corridors stacked with the bones of millions of Parisians. Spooky but super. And we could not pass on another trip down the Champs’ Elysees, Arc De Triomphe and Eiffel Tower.
