Day 32

February 11, 2012

Went to he Jardin du Luxembourg. It was looking a little crappy since it was winter, but I can't wait to see them in the Spring. The fountain was frozen since the weather's been freezing cold.

Tour Montparnasse

Eiffel Tower sneaking in there

Went to the catacombs later, a mass graveyard beneath Paris. See, what had happened was by the 1800s the cemeteries in Paris were reaching capacity or full so it was decided to unbury all the dead and transfer them to this mass underground cemetery to make room for the future deceased at existing graveyards. There are probably millions of people packed down here. It took about 45 minutes to walk through the tunnels, there were parts closed off, so once can only imagine how far they run and how many dead are here.

"Stop. This here is the Empire of the Dead"
