Here are a few historical facts about the intriguing catacombs of Paris:

  • The ancient quarries of Tombe-Issoire, situated beneath the Montrouge plain, were chosen for their easy access, as at that time they lay outside the capital. Imagine walking where the quarrymen of old once walked!
  • Between 1785 and 1787, the first removals took place, emptying tombs, mass graves and the ossuary of Paris’s largest cemetery, the Cemetery of the Holy Innocents. Can you imagine the wealth of history accumulated here?
  • On 7 April 1786, this site was designated the ‘Municipal Ossuary of Paris’ and took on the legendary name of ‘Catacombs’, in reference to the fascinating Roman catacombs. A name that inspires both respect and curiosity!
