The Adventure Continues...

I went on a private tour, it was by Paris Greeters.  It's free, you just need to give them about a 2 week heads up.  It was great, and the guide was awesome!  We started in Jardin de Plantes, where his father had worked.

in the Latin Quarter



Fredric pointing out where he grew up.  Since his father worked in the Garden, they lived right in it.

the only grave in Paris, not in an official cemetery.

Fredric's, the tour guide, home, it was on the second floor (which the French would call floor one, they start with floor ).

They host 6-7 million animal remains below ground, and this brings air down there.  The guide estimated that 40% of the animals are extinct.


Lussac worked here, he was the person who invented the measurement of sugar in grapes, and how it would convert to alcohol.




The Charles Darwin museum.  After they study the remains, they piece together what it evolved from.

They serve tea and small desserts, that are all naturally sweetened with honey.

Fredric!  Great tour guide.
