“A La Mort, On Laisse Tout”: At Death, We Leave Everything. Les Catacombes de Pa

“A La Mort, On Laisse Tout”: At Death, We Leave Everything. Les Catacombes de Paris are a maze of Ossuaries which contain millions of skeletons. First built in 1774, they were needed because of the overflowing and increasingly unhygienic cemeteries in Paris. It was largely forgotten until it became a venue for macabre music concerts in the late 19th century (the most famous one being around the barrel shaped thing in the first photo) Check out the film “As Above, So Below”(2014) if you want some fairly decent horror relating to the Catacombs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #paris #catacombs #catacombes #history #theparisguru #paris_focus_on #parisphotography #parisestmagique #seulementparis #jaimeparis #parisgram #pariscartepostale #parisiloveyou #travelawesome #wanderlust #instatravel #francephoto #igersfrance #parisgram #parisianlifestyle #parisjetaime #igersparis #parisienne #parisian #parismonamour #topparisphoto #historynerd #gothic #ossuary #death #histoiredefrance (at Les Catacombes de Paris) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Y35a9Fp24/?igshid=1vz8xll1wxrpz -- source link
