The Catacombs of Paris are an underground ossuary holding the remains of more than six million people, arranged in eerie walls of stacked bones and skulls. A roughly 1.5-kilometer route winds through the tunnels beneath the 14th arrondissement. It is not for the claustrophobic, and the walk-up queue is long, so book a timed ticket to skip it.
