The Light Side of the Parisian Underground
A group of four people crept in underneath a centuries-old clock in Paris and got it working. It took them about two years, but hey!

Restoration of a Clock

Score another point for the benevolent anarchists! Okay, admittedly, these people don't sound very anarchic, but I love the reaction to the government officials at the intrusion into the clocktower. Actions like this are what make life worth living, to me; the fact that some people just want to help... and get all sneaky about it.

It's especially amusing that they only told the officials because they wanted to get the clock working. And there's this:

"Opening a lock is the easiest thing for a clockmaker." Badass.

Boggle yes.

It's no wonder you like Paris. It sounds bloody crazy. This group of restorers has about 150 members, and the article doesn't mention a connection to the catacombs. :D
