But wait! Up some windy stairs is a sunlit room with about the same amount of art. Some things were creepy, some were a level of obsessive detail that required long minutes of marveling, and some were inspiring. 2 hours is a sufficient visit, and you will want to reserve time to peruse the bookstore and get a snack, lunch, or beverage at the café. The museum is in the garment district, and the art may inspire you to pick up some fabric to make a collage.

We popped in for the Jeunet/Caro exhibit, because when in Paris, you Amélie. The design of the exhibit space is in a wagon wheel, with fixtures from the duos filmography segmented by "pie piece."

A floor up, sunlight floods a year-long showcase residency called Turbulence in the Balkans, featuring Eastern European works but unfortunately, no brass bands. Sad dance party loss.

The sounds of champagne bottle popping everywhere really adds to the ambiance. The place was completely packed to see a tried and true review complete with feathers, sparkles and full body makeup.

The admissions price you pay is worth it. You just don't see this type of local flair anywhere else. Soak in the history about Paris and also its darker side. Your perspective about things will change, for most people anyway. The takeaway the hubs took from this experience is that nothing really matters at the end. It's a real eye opening experience TBH. As you wander the dark corridors, you will see piles of real human bones piled in neat stacks. It was saddening to realize that these were once human beings. Now they are part of a collection of unknown souls. It was just a down to earth experience. The audio tour will allow you to wander at your pleasure so there's no real rush or live tour.

The major thing we wanted to do in Paris was visit the catacombs, an underground ossuary containing…read morethe bones of more than six million people. The catacombs are part of Paris' abandoned mine and quarry network, and bones were moved to the catacombs because the cemeteries were running out of space. The first bones were transferred from the Cimetière des Saints-Innocents after the cemetery was closed in 1780 due to overuse. The catacombs are an extremely popular attraction, and purchasing tickets in advance is highly recommended as a limited number of people are admitted each hour, and with good reason -- the experience would be extremely unpleasant if overly crowded. However, you can only purchase tickets one week in advance, and the catacombs are not open on Mondays. The two full days we were in Paris were Sunday and Monday, so I had to ensure that we were able to get tickets for Sunday April 7. Fortunately I was successful! Tickets were €29 each, although per the website, they are now €31. Unfortunately, the catacombs are not accessible for people in wheelchairs or who have mobility issues -- the 1.5km long route has 243 stairs -- 131 to descend and 112 to ascend. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and if you want to see bones and skulls (no full skeletons, though), the Paris catacombs won't disappoint!

The weekend brunch concept is basically that you pick either the vegetarian (20€) or omnivore version (22€) of whatever savory brunch plus dessert they've put together, and you get unlimited self-service hot drinks, bread, butter, and jam. Once you order at the front, they give you a buzzer and you find a seat and wait for your meal to be prepared; when the buzzer goes off, you collect your food from the kitchen area. They have a lot of low-waste and eco-friendly measures, including sorting food waste and focusing on using local products. When we arrived, the place was packed--unsurprising, given the day and time. The tables are very close together so we did have to awkwardly squeeze between a lot of other tables to get to 1 that was open. Since it's so cramped it's possible it's not the most comfortable dining experience if you're claustrophobic, but I felt the restaurant had a very community-oriented vibe and the packed dining areas just added to that. The restaurant is actually not small at all, as there was a wide floorplan and 2 levels of seating, so the fact that it was as busy as it was is quite a testament to the its popularity. Our buzzer went off after a few minutes, and the brunch plates were huge and delicious. That day the vegetarian plates came packed with a very balanced selection of items, including quinoa with raisins, salad, bread topped with scrambled eggs, some cheese, potatoes (my favorite) and a coleslaw-like concoction. The omnivore plate included all of this as well as a filet of smoke salmon, which was really delicious. The dessert, also included in the brunch price, consisted of fruit, some kind of pudding, and a few mini tarts. I ultimately wasn't a huge fan of the desserts, but I loved the savory plate. Given the quantity and quality of the food, as well as unlimited bread and hot drinks, I considered the price of the meal to be very reasonable. The staff at La Recyclerie were very friendly and efficient; multiple employees were happy to explain to us how the weekend brunch menu worked and where things were. There was also a little market at the front of the restaurant, where local vendors were selling candles, textiles, etc. Definitely a lovely place to visit if you're in the area!

And we found this place! Definitely a little odd, but a whole lot of interesting! It was about a 40 minute metro ride to the outside of Paris and then a short walk to the museum. It was a little freaky to say the least and we may have even though to ourselves 'today is the day we die....or become vampires.' The front of the house is overgrown and in disrepair, which only adds to the experience! You then have to walk around to the back alley to enter through a red door into the back yard and the building where the museum is located. We knocked and stood there for 15 minutes waiting for someone to let us in. Just as we were about to give up and leave, a man dressed in black came through the door and escorted us in. Anyway, we survived I think. And we really enjoyed our several hours of discussing vampires with our host. If you are looking for something different to do. If you like vampires. If you want an adventure then do this! Just make sure you call in advance, as the museum entry is by private reservation only.
