Description

Swiss Skeli and La Catrina landed in Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris as the first stop on their European trip. Swiss Skeli’s relatives in Paris are very airy and all live in Père Lachaise Cemetery. They take to bustling in and out of the tombs, or through the streets. The Marais is their favorite neighborhood, they love the smells of fresh bagels and lox.

Here is a photograph of Swiss Skeli’s Cousin Fairy Cousin L. Pasteur flying, in a panoramic view of Paris, looking toward the Ile de la Cité from the Louvre. Date between 1858 and 1860 -construction of the Pont au Change.
