Yesterday we went to the Catacombs , underground tunnels filled with hundreds of thousands of neatly stacked bones dating back to the 18th century. It was created because as the city of Paris grew many cemeteries had to be moved/removed, and this was seen as a hygienic way to keep the bodies. Plus it took up a lot less room.
Me and Niki waited in line for more than an hour but it proved to be totally worth it. 1.7 kilometers of creepy underground tunnels filled with bones and monuments. We took so many pictures I had a hard time narrowing them down for the album here. I'm so glad we went, this was something totally different!
