Ok so this is something that most people have heard about but few have ever really given any thought to. Well I'll tell you a little bit about my trip to the sewers of Paris. I went on a trip to Paris with a few people and there were a few things that were already decided that we would do and some that were things we might see when we got there. Well the sewers were one of those things. Let me tell you that basically if anyone ever says that they have been to the sewers of Paris and that you should go see them, they don't like you, or they playing a very mean trick on you.
I guess the first thing that should have triggered a "this is not something you want to do" thought was when we got there, and were buying tickets the smell was awful. And of course of if you go into the sewers it's going to get worse, logic would tell you this, but for some reason that day the logical part of my brain wasn't working. It does house a museum in the sewers which I'm sure is full of great things to read and see and history that is worth learning about. But sadly I didn't see any of it. The smell was so bad that me and the entire rest of the group that I was with ran, yes ran, through the sewers just to get out. We didn't stop and read anything or take photos, nothing. Things were dripping from over us, which was very unsettling to say the least. And I ended up with something on the bottom of my jeans as did another girl that I was with and let's just say those jeans didn't make the trip home, they made a trip to the trash.
If you could avoid the things dripping and you didn't mind the smell there might be something that you want to learn or find interesting down there. But before you to decide to make the trip there, remember one thing. Remember the smell in a public bathroom and how bad that can be, and image being the sewer system where it all goes. And if the smell is really bad for you when you are buying tickets know that its only going to get worse. This is one place that I say enter at your own risk. You have been warned.
Life is a trip, and it's what we make of it. This is a travel guide that has tips, tricks and information for places that I have visited.
