Catacombs of Paris
paris, France
The Catacombs of Paris, opened for public tours in 1809, house remains of over six million Parisians in the maze-like tunnels below the city. As you descend into the ossuary, the chilling sight of artfully arranged skulls and bones transports you to a macabre world. Those fascinated by the eerie and historical will find this underground maze both unsettling and enlightening.
