Day Five Itinerary

Jul 22, 2013

The Catacombs of Paris are a fascinating but grim tourist attraction. They go on for miles (no one really knows how far they go) and the endless winding tunnels house thousands of bones. It’s a morbid tourist attraction but an interesting look into the history of Paris. They are often closed so check ahead of time before you walk down to try to see them. We definitely plan to have a fun & interesting time. We plan to walk to our destination and hang out here most of the day.
