The Â鶹APP Catacombs are even more interesting in juxtaposition to the lively streets tourists all over the world have come to know and love. It&#8217;s almost ironic that a city known for its celebration of life would have such a dark secret hidden underneath. 20 meters deep, 243 steps to climb down, and 11,000 m2 total, it&#8217;s a pretty massive secret too. &nbsp;You can read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/secrets-of-the-paris-catacombs\/\">here<\/a> for even <em>more<\/em> secrets about this eerie site.

It wasn&#8217;t until 1809 that the Catacombs were opened to the public.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s even more interesting is how high up on everyone&#8217;s bucket list the Catacombs are. Nothing says enjoyment like walking through piles of century-old skeletons in cold, dark, stone made crypts. With so many things to do in and around Â鶹APP, it may seem like a bleak activity. Most people do, however suggest visiting this site at least once while in Â鶹APP! Here are some fun facts about the Â鶹APP catacombs that will either make you want to buy a ticket or perhaps a ouija board.<\/p>\n<div id=\"disco-3206722148\"><div class=\"\" style=\"text-align:center\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/recommends\/gyg-new-campaign-paris-catacombs\" target=\"blank\" class=\"buttongreen2022\" rel=\"noopener\">Book your Â鶹APP Catacombs Tickets Here<\/a> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Catacombs house the remains of over six million Â鶹APPians from the 18th Century.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11882\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/howtovisitthepariscatacombs3-1.jpg\" alt=\"howtovisitthepariscatacombs3\" width=\"960\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/howtovisitthepariscatacombs3-1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/howtovisitthepariscatacombs3-1-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/howtovisitthepariscatacombs3-1-768x462.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/howtovisitthepariscatacombs3-1-610x367.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/howtovisitthepariscatacombs3-1-816x491.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right. Directly under your feet, are the remains of six million people. The reason the catacombs exist is because in the 18th century, cemeteries were often overcrowded, and bodies were not buried properly. This caused disease to spread throughout the city. Though it may seem very dark to have stuffed millions of the dead underground, this was a practical for a city with rapid growth to have resting place for all &nbsp;those who passed. This was the only solution for such a major public health threat.

His body was not discovered 11 years later, and his cause of death was undetermined. His final resting place? The catacombs, no surprise there. An even darker fact was that he was found right near an exit&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Sure, not many deaths are attributed to the Catacombs, but a lot of people have gotten lost. in 2017, two teens got lost in the Â鶹APP Catacombs for 3 days!<\/p>\n<div id=\"disco-1796669892\"><div class=\"\" style=\"text-align:center\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/recommends\/gyg-new-campaign-paris-catacombs\" target=\"blank\" class=\"buttongreen2022\" rel=\"noopener\">Book your Â鶹APP Catacombs Tickets Here<\/a> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>The Catacombs were used during World War II<\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_30011\" style=\"width: 934px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30011\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30011\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/visitpariswithteens10.jpg\" alt=\"visitpariswithteens10\" width=\"924\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/visitpariswithteens10.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/visitpariswithteens10-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/visitpariswithteens10-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/visitpariswithteens10-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/visitpariswithteens10-816x459.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-30011\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Les Catacombes de Â鶹APP <span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I &nbsp;I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I i<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p>What is even more interesting is that the catacombs were actually used by both sides during the war.<\/p>\n<p>Those in the&nbsp;French Resistance were actively using the underground tunnels as a hide out during the war and plan attacks against the Germans. The underground tombs and tunnels concealed the resistance members from German spies and allowed them to escape without being found. Doesn&#8217;t sound like the safest place to hide&#8230;Not only the French used the Catacombs, either.&nbsp;The Nazis also had built various bunkers in the underground crypts to avoid being caught.<\/p>\n<h4>They arrange the bones in decorative displays<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/catacombs-of-paris.jpg\" alt=\"Catacombs of Â鶹APP\" width=\"650\" height=\"432\"><\/p>\n<p>At first, the bodies were just being thrown into the crypt tunnels via cart. Then, someone decided to get creative. Those who were working in the Catacombs decided to start displaying the bones in decorative shapes, They probably thought this would make the atmosphere lighter, more entertaining. They were actually built this way to attract tourists. There is even a famous bone barrel (pictured) holding up the top structures. Seems almost poetic that the dead are being used as a pillar to hold up the ceilings.<\/p>\n<p>Now with these fun facts, do you feel ready to take the 243 steps down into 6 million graves?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"disco-3607999080\" class=\"disco-amazon-box-2024 disco-entity-placement\"><div style=\"width: 100%; border: 2px solid lightgray; padding: 3% 6% 3% 3%; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Planning a trip to Â鶹APP ?
