Paris Catacombs

The Catacombs Of Paris is a great offbeat tourist attraction. Its an old ossuary which part of an underground labyrinth cemetery dating back to the 1800's when the poor couldnt afford a proper burial. Many have died back then from various diseases & plagues that haunted and hung over the villages and towns all over Europe during that time. SO they took the bones of the remains and stored them underground as their final resting place and their final closure.

Its a wonderful but eerie thing to see upclose & personal but you'll have to get there early as the lines get long and they allow 200 people at a time for crowd control purposes.
