Since the day was free, the group split into several subgroups. We were 6 to visit the Catacombs (Annie, Danielle, Kim, Katherine, Luke and Marie-Pier). First, the tour begins with a descent into an endless spiral staircase, dark and narrow, to reach a sign telling us that we had a distance of 500 meters to go before reaching the Cemetery of the Innocents. The road is under the city in a long tunnel carved into the stone by construction workers in 1777. It must not be claustrophobic to go there because the output is far, it's dark and damp, and the place gives goosebumps. The tour lasts approximately 45 minutes and there are between 6 and 7 million bones arranged in different phyla. It is quite impressive to see how the bones are presented. Each cemetery has its location, sign and year of arrival in the catacombs and we think that works of art made with the bones are in good taste.
Subsequently, the small band broke, we (Annie and Danielle) went to visit the small shops on the edge of the Seine. What surprised us most is the pet. Did you know you can buy in the middle of Paris, chickens, ducks and pigeons? We, we did not know. Also, question to $ 100 for Quebecers: Who among you has never been offered a free kitten? Well, I do not think this is money running in Paris since the kittens cheapest we've found are at 420 € each, and they look strangely like our cats! So you can imagine the price of a cat or a Persian Himalayan!
Then all those emotions we have an appetite and filled with happiness, we found a Pizza Hut! We arrive just in time for the buffet. In France, there are 8 different kinds of pizza and contains none of pepperoni! After conducting a sampling of each kind, and sensory evaluation of each (they were all tasted!) We agreed that our favorite pizza is the BBQ (BBQ sauce, mozzarella and meatballs).
The full stomach, we drove to the Louvre Museum ... The entry we have borrowed in the shape of a pyramid, which leads directly to the center of the Museum. We were impressed by the grandeur of these places and marvel at its architecture. Also, paintings and sculptures are of exceptional beauty. Among other things, the Mona Lisa is still as popular as we struggled to get close.
Meanwhile, some of our colleagues went to the Musée des Invalides. Many have enjoyed this visit as the Museum is divided into several separate issues and there is something for everyone.
The evening is free, everyone could do what he wanted, but it was strongly advised to prepare our bags for the big departure from last week.
