The Catacombs of Paris


Listen Later

Join Kelli as she explains how and why the French built their famous Catacombs, an Ossuary filled with the bones of possibly 6 million, anonymous people. Skulls and femur bones line the walls of this grotesquely beautiful, and immensely famous, Parisian attraction. But where did the bodies come from? And why were they put into the tunnels under Paris? Find out in the latest episode of A Popular History of Unpopular Things!
