After a short Armistice Day celebration, I toured a section of Paris's underground sewers. This was one of my main to-do's in the city; the sewers are legendary from Les Miserables; the book's author Victor Hugo named them Lutetia after the ancient city that once sat at Paris. The afternoon and evening were spent with Paris's illustrious dead: a walk through the famous Pere Lechaise cemetery, then to the Pantheon to see where France's greatest heroes are buried.
