Memorial to the dead of Paris |
1 Place Denfert-Rochereau Paris 75014 +33 1 4322 4763 |
In 1810, the Montrouge stone quarries became catacombs. Because of a lack of space in the graveyards of Paris, it is here, twenty metres underground, that the remains of six millions of Parisians are exhibited. These ossuaries, illustrated by texts, create a chilling atmosphere and describe some of the events in the history of Paris, giving visitors substance for meditation. During the Second World War, this network of galleries was used as a hideaway for the Résistance movement; its vastness and the discretion of its entrances were great assets indeed. Admission: adults (EUR 7) Review © 2009, Wcities |
