This was such a cool thing to do in Paris!! I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about the dark history there. It’s eerie but so interesting!! It’s a little tricky, but definitely try to buy your tickets online before your trip. I wrote a step by step guide on how to do this on my blog. The site is entirely in French with no option for translation so it’s really hard to navigate. Send me a message if you want more info!

    The burial site of the skeleton, known as the "cave", was established in the late eighteenth century, the place called Izuwar ((Tumbe-Isova) cemetery, formerly an abandoned underground quarry, dating back to the fifteenth century. The Holy Spirit Cemetery was closed in 1780 at the request of the city government. By a resolution of the Parliament in 1777, the mining department was established to protect and consolidate the Paris underground buildings, and to select and plan the site for the dead bones. Slowly, the bones of all the cemeteries in the center of Paris were transferred to these ancient limestone quarryes. Especially when the Ottoman mayor organized the construction of the city, the construction of the earth, the bone transfer work continued until 1860. From the beginning of the 19th century, the catacombs were open to the public, which caused everyone's curiosity and attracted more and more tourists. I was worried that the atmosphere in the cemetery was depressed. Maybe scare yourself. I thought it would be scary, but it was part of us. After the visit, the view of death was even more different.

    The catacombs in Paris are definitely a very secret place, where tens of thousands of bones are buried, and they feel cold as soon as they walk in. Tens of thousands of skulls are piled up in various patterns, which may be an ancient European culture. If you are not afraid, you can visit.

    The Paris catacombs are also a historical monument, and here is also a huge disease outbreak. The plague outbreak in France is also important here. The catacombs are also a very important historical witness.

    It was because a movie knew about it. The door face is super small, but it's big underneath. It takes about an hour to queue up. Personally, I think it's worth going. It's convenient to get off the subway.

    If you also have a curiosity, I suggest that you go to see, subway line 6 or Denfert Rochereau of lineB get off, cross the road, the entrance is not very conspicuous, but you can see people queuing, need to make an appointment at the entrance, we go at 3 p.m., and make an appointment at 5:05. Tickets are 12 euros and student tickets are 10 euros. The commentator is 5 Euros, but it can be rented without good English in Chinese. The burial site is about 300 kilometers long and only 2 kilometers open. It was originally a limestone quarry where the French who died of smallpox and cholera in the 18th and 19th centuries were buried, with about 6 million to 7 million skeletons. All walks, entrances and exits are spiral ladders, and there is no bathroom inside. If there is a need, it needs to be solved in advance. It is recommended that the older and younger visitors and the more exclusive visitors do not enter the tour. Internal personal feelings do not feel very frightening, but very shocking, wandering in the meantime, may let you temporarily forget the secular world, feel another understanding of life.

    It's right across the street from Denfert Rocherale Station on Line 4. The queue began at 2 p.m. and didn't enter until 4:30. There was more than one person in the queue. It's hot and sunny outside. It's cool to walk down the tunnel inside. It's better to wear a shawl or a thin coat. It takes half an hour to walk through the winding passage, with skeletons on both sides. It feels like a shock, because the skeleton Church in Italy has been ornate before. Compared with the pile here, it feels almost the same after seeing a few.
