Paris Catacombs🔘

🔘Paris Catacombs🔘
⚫The history of the Paris Catacombs starts in the late eighteenth century when major public health problems tied to the city’s cemeteries led to a decision to transfer their contents to an underground site.


⚫It holds the remains of more than six million people in a small part of a tunnel network built to consolidate Paris' ancient stone quarries.

⚫Because the catacombs are directly under the Paris streets, large foundations cannot be built above them and cave-ins have destroyed buildings. For this reason, there are few tall buildings in this area.

⚫In 1787, the Count of Artois, the future Charles X, visited the site in the company of a group of court ladies; in 1814, Francis I, the Austrian emperor, took a tour there; and in 1860, Napoleon III descended into the catacombs with his son.

⚫It was opened to public visitation from 1874 and welcome nearly 550,000 visitors yearly.
