{"product_id":"2940154477656","title":"The Weirder Side Of Paris: A Guide to 101 Bizarre, Bloodstained, or Macabre Sights, From the Merely Eccentric to the Downright Ghoulish","description":"\u003cp\u003eWelcome to the weirder (and darker) side of the City of Light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou've probably visited—or plan to visit—the Paris Catacombs. But for history buffs, travelers trying to escape the overcrowded \"must-sees,\" and fans of the bizarre, macabre, or morbid, there's a lot more than the Catacombs to explore in the offbeat, often creepy side of the city that most tourists never see.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForget all the clichés about romance—the most romantic sight you're likely to find in this oddball, grim, or gory Paris will be a tombstone. In these pages you'll discover the city's stranger secrets and grislier history, from the sites where the guillotine did its bloody work, to the graves of its victims; from the Louvre's forgotten medieval basement to a Métro station that celebrates potatoes; to statues of Death, a stroll through the sewers, and an irreverent look at some of the oddest (and ugliest) tombs in the famous cemeteries. With background and practical information for over a hundred bizarre and sometimes gruesome sights, weird artworks, wacky museums, and out-of-the-way historical locations, many free to visit, The Weirder Side Of Paris is an indispensable guide to the city that you never knew existed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spyderwort Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159011639536,"sku":"2940154477656","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940154477656_p0.jpg?v=1764069183","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940154477656","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
