The Catacombs of Paris
|
Beneath the streets of the City of Lights is an dark and haunting place that rambles in a labyrinth for over 186 miles. The catacombs are the final resting place of over 6 million skeletal remains, first constructed at the end of the 18th century as a solution to overcrowded cemeteries. Curious visitors who wish to see the catacombs and their gruesome contents may only tour limited areas, which are open to the public. You can explore the catacombs, however, from the safety and comfort of your sofa.
