Paris Catacombs



The Paris catacombs,
or l'Ossuaire Municipal.
A cool place to go when
Paris is hot.








This cemetery covers a part
of Paris' former mines near
the Left Bank Place
Denfert-Rochereau.






Most of Paris' larger
churches once had
their own cemeteries,
but city growth and
generations of dead
began to overwhelm
them.






When you leave
they search your
bags for souvenirs.
