Les Catacombes & The Left Bank

Paris: Day 6 & 7

I’m feeling like this little series of mine is dragging so I’m consolidating days 6 and 7.

Day 6


We rode bikes again to another corner of Paris to visit the Catacombs, amazing. We tried to go there last year, but it was closed due to theft and vandalism. Luckily it was open this time around, definitely one of my favorite things we saw. Before even going in there is a warning….

After walking down a loooong spiral staircase and about a half mile of underground tunnels we finally came to the bones

bones!!

When we were finished with all the dead people we took our bikes to the Musée Rodin. We didn’t spend too much time here. The Most interesting thing was in the garden

you might recognize this guy.

 I loved all the people waiting in line to sit and mimic his pose for a picture.

He had the pose down the best.

The last stop of the day was the Musée de l'Orangerie which holds some of Monet’s largest paintings.

Day 7

We decided to spend the day exploring the Left Bank of Paris. Our first stop was La Conciergerie. This is where Marie Antoinette was imprisoned before eventually being sent to the guillotine.

MaireAntoinette's actual cell which was set up just how she would have had it (She had money to pay for a private room)

We also visited the Church they used in The Davinci Code and saw the “Rose line”  according a note left in the church there is absolutely no truth to anything in the movie and the line is something totally different… yeah right!

I had the most amazing French onion soup. Or is it just onion soup? Whatever, it was good!!
