Paris Catacombs
91 miles of tunnels housing the world’s biggest ossuary, an estimated 6 million people are buried here.
“Bain de Pieds” (foot bath), the water underground was so clear that as visitors went down the stairs they only noticed it when their feet got wet, hence the name.
NON METUIT MORTEM, QUI SCIT CONTEMNERE VITAM
(He who despises life does not fear death)
Out and about in Paris
A visit to Paris is not complete without strolling passed the Eiffel Tower and indulging in great food and drink.
Comic Books & Star Wars
France has a high scene for comic books with many shops dotted around.
Alex Ross, a great comic book illustrator, had an exhibition of his super hero paintings and other illustrations that we did not want to miss.
Coincidently also, the Star Wars Identities Exhibition was on in Paris, which showcased a lot of props used in the franchise, concept art all wrapped in a story game, where your character is built and grown by you until de moment where he/she has to choose between the light or the dark sides of the force.
