Secrets of the catacombs of underground Paris! A mysterious world hidden under the facades of a romantic city

Secrets of the catacombs of underground Paris!

It’s incredible that all this is right under Paris: The Catacombs of Paris are a mysterious underground world hidden behind the facades of the romantic city.

These dark corridors and cramped chambers are the final resting place for the remains of more than 6 million people.

Created in the late 18th century due to epidemics and overcrowding of cemeteries, the catacombs became not only a cemetery, but also a repository of history.

The walls of the catacombs are decorated with a mosaic of bones and skulls, which gives them a unique and at the same time terrible look.

They extend for more than 300 kilometers beneath the city, but only a small part is accessible to the public.

The labyrinth contains the remains of French revolutionaries and riot victims, making it a grim reminder of France’s turbulent past.
