Everything and Anything In Between

The Quarries of Paris
As I’ve said before if you’re not looking for the typical Paris tourist spot go and visit the catacombs.
I’ve actually never seen that many bones in one place before. It fascinated me that the bones (skulls and femurs) were made to form patterns such as hearts and other shapes. It was a bit creepy but an otherwise cool experience. We were surprised that guards were checking our bags at the exit. They told us that a lot of visitors have tried to steal the bones to bring home as souvenirs!?! We were quite shocked!
