Hear stories about how the Paris Catacombs were built as a massive underground cemetery, housing the bones of roughly six million people since the 18th century. Paris' dead were moved en masse from existing cemeteries to the Catacombs from 1786 to 1788. By the early 19th century, the Catacombs had already started to attract tourist attention.

Traveler Tips
- "Note it's a spiral staircase to go down and up, also it's dusty/wet in the catacombs so wear appropriate shoes." See review
- "Skipping the line is a must, as the regular line was four hours when we were there." See review
- "Since the facility can only accommodate 200 people at once, the wait can be long." See review
