Secret Paris

Apriest who blesses animals, winemaking
firefighters, a tree in a church, an inverted phallus
at a well-known entrance, an atomic bomb
shelter under Gare de l'Est, a real Breton lighthouse near
Montparnasse, unsuspected traces of former brothels,
a patron saint of motorists, royal monograms hidden
in the Louvre courtyard, the presentation of Christ's
crown of thorns, a prehistoric merry-go-round, a sundial
designed by Dalí, war-wounded palm trees, bullet holes
at the ministry, religious plants in a priest's garden, a
mysterious monument to Freemasonry at the Champ-de-Mars,
a solid gold sphere in parliament, a Chinese temple
in a parking lot, the effect of the Bièvre river on Parisian
geography, a blockhouse in the Bois de Boulogne ...
For those who thought they knew Paris well, the city is
still teeming with unusual and secret places that are easily
accessible.
