CATACOMBS OF PARIS
1 avenue du Colonel Henri Rol-Tanguy, 75014 Paris
The Catacombs of Paris are a vast underground ossuary located in the city’s former limestone quarries. Created at the end of the 18th century to address the overcrowding of cemeteries, they hold the remains of several million Parisians.
This labyrinth of tunnels stretches for many kilometers beneath the 14th arrondissement.
Today, a small section is open to the public, offering a unique visit that combines history, art, and mystery.
