Catacombs of Paris Official Site | Tripadvisor Reviews & Information
The Catacombs of Paris are a maze of underground ossuaries containing the skulls and bones of several million Parisians. Known locally as Les Catacombes de Paris, this subterranean resting place rose in popularity in the late 18th century due to major public health problems.
