A sacristan at the old Carmes convent preserves the remains of about 117 martyrs who died in September 1792 during the Paris Revolution. He shows the path from sacristy to the crypt, where skulls and bones rest behind iron grates and are tended nightly, with reverent ritual and memories of the priests and monks who refused the oath.
