The closed part of the catacombs.
One of the main goals of the trip was to visit the legendary Paris catacombs. Miles of tunnels and caves located directly below the historical buildings of the city below the level of the subway and the sewers. It is possible to identify three separate systems in different parts of the city. We will visit the largest — under the southern part of Paris.
6 years ago I first went to the catacombs of Paris. My little trip was limited to a tour of the catacombs, which partially captures ossuary — a mass grave of skeletal remains of the XVIII century, where bones lined with galleries and halls.
This time we will visit the closed part of the catacombs. Mysterious passages of the catacombs stretch for tens of kilometers, with gates to the underground river, cable collectors, metro and railway tunnels. A good half of flooded drifts, diggers catches the underground, the police, and the friendly local exploreri happy to help lost guests — foreigners.
