Today’s family outing took us to Les Egouts (The Paris Sewers). Les Egouts is a small underground museum which practically sits under our apartment building and features exhibits on Paris’ sanitation system from its earliest days to present, plus a walk through of the sewers in action.
Although the exhibits in the museum itself were fascinating, the thought of the contents in the water rushing below my feet, coupled with the overwhelming ‘odeur” were too much for my bionic sense of smell and pooh phobia. Our "walk" turned into a run and fifteen minutes later we were out on the street. The trip home was dominated by potty humor and methane induced giggles. BTW, no smoking allowed in Les Egouts!

OK girls, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING and watch out for overhead dripping.
