Exploring the Catacombs in France #Catacombs #Paris #France
During the French Revolution, the Paris Catacombs served as the primary final resting place of most Parisians, many of whom died by guillotine, including Maximilien Robespierre, one of the revolutionary movement’s most controversial figures.
It would take the city of Paris many years to fully complete the process, eventually moving some six to seven million bodies to the city's underground tunnels. Over the years the Paris Municipal Ossuary eventually came to be known as the Catacombs of Paris (an allusion to the ancient Roman catacombs).
