Enter the Empire of Death<\/h4>\n<p>If you have got a steady stomach, the first thing to start with are the Catacombs of Â鶹APP. During the time of Revolutionary Terror in the 1790s, many cemeteries of Â鶹APP were closed for sanitary reasons. But the remaining bones of the six million corpses had to be put somewhere and the best idea they found was actually to bury them under Â鶹APP. But they are not just piled up and covered with mud: they give form to a macabre but romantic underground maze covered with skeletons and skulls.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/montparnasse-empire-of-death.jpg\" alt=\"montparnasse-empire-of-death\" width=\"650\" height=\"404\"><\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t it the best way to start the Top 10 things to do in Montparnasse to discover what is underneath?

Take a Look Back in the past with the Â鶹APP Observatory<\/h4>\n<p>Built in 1667, it is the oldest observatory still in use. It is actually one of the observatories that helped to launch the field of meteorology in Europe. This observatory started construction in 1667 for the Sun King&#8217;s, Louis XIV of France, astronomers! He ruled over France for a whopping 72 years and 110 days! Today, the observatory is still at the heart of French astronomy and considered a major institution in the world of science today!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/observatory.jpg\" alt=\"observatory\" width=\"650\" height=\"425\"><\/p>\n<p>The building is made of many very cute little rooms that look quite old fashioned.

Discover Contemporary artists at the Fondation Cartier<\/h4>\n<p>I told you that following the top 10 things to do in Montparnasse meant linking the present to the past. This foundation was created by the very famous French jewelry maker \u201cCartier\u201d. But the goal of this artistic centre has nothing to do with jewelry: it is actually to discover and promote new contemporary artists from France and all around the world.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/foundation-cartier.jpg\" alt=\"foundation-cartier\" width=\"650\" height=\"347\"><\/p>\n<p>This aerial building playing with light and reflection hosts temporary exhibits on photography, paintings, videos, fashion, live shows.

These two really were the centre of the intellectual and artistic effervescence. La Coupole, for instance, was painted by the very artists that would actually hang out in this caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Among the most famous personalities that frequented it are Hemingway, Josephine Baker or Giacometti. But nowadays these two aren\u2019t much a place of creativity but have rather became classy restaurants where you can have delicious gastronomy for quite an expensive price!
