One Click Trip- The Catacombs of Paris

Head underground virtually to the Catacombs of Paris which holds the remains of more than 6 million people in a small part of a tunnel network. The site allows users to virtually walk through the tunnels. There are more than 200 miles of tunnels with some lined the ceiling with skulls and bones. It came about because by the 17th century enough people lived and died in Paris that the cemeteries were overflowing so as a solution they placed them in these tunnels beneath the streets of Paris. Now over a mile of the catacombs is open for visitors to explore which you can do virtually. You’ll get an up close look at how some of the bones are stacked. Some neatly arranged along the halls, others are in a pattern like crosses. It’s one of the spookiest attractions and you can visit online virtually and explore the bizarre history of this cemetery. : http://catacombes.paris.fr/visite-virtuelle/
