Catacombs of Paris


Wednesday, Delphine and I met up with her friend, Sophie and headed to Paris. Les Catacombes de Paris was our destination for the day to view the final destination of many. There are many fascinating stories surrounding the when and the why's of this burial venue. Deeper than the métro itself, is where they can be found and are far reaching beneath the lively city. I was lucky to be with 2 nurses who stopped frequently to identify various pieces of bone because anyone who knows me well, knows that this expedition is borderline science (at which I never excelled). The temperature is held naturally at 14°C (approx 55°F). The cool and damp tunnels added to the eeriness of the experience.
