The Tour of the Sewers

The tour of the Sewers of Paris was very interesting and very very smelly. We walked on a grate, under which the raw sewage was flowing. There was a series of posters giving the history of the sewers as we walked along.


We saw three live rats down this tunnel. If you can enlarge this photo, there is a rat right in center of the tunnel. Creepy!




These are the exit signs, this one was posted the wrong direction.


This a ball that they use to clean the sewers.
Looking at the raw waste.




We ended with a walk along the Seine river and came upon the Eiffel Tower. Benjamin took this photo.
