πβ¨ Hidden One-Day Tour in Paris
For the faint-hearted, beware of the underground world: the Catacombs of Paris! ππ° Itβs a unique experience! What you think is a mere burial site is actually a museum. Originally limestone quarries, the catacombs became a burial place during the plague outbreak at the end of the 18th century. Located 20 meters underground, beneath the metro and groundwater, it's said to hold the bones of 6 million people, though only a small part is open to the public. One of my favorite quotes from inside: "In the catacombs, true equality is achieved. Regardless of wealth or status, in the end, we all become bones, placed here together." π€π π« Ticket Tips: Itβs recommended to buy tickets in advance and select your visiting time. The daily visitor limit is 200 people. β° Visit Duration: 1-2 hours #ParisHiddenGems #FrenchAttractions #CatacombsOfParis #WeekendInParis
