An object of enduring curiosity, the Paris Catacombs were installed in the galleries of a former quarry that was used to provide building stones for the capital. Twenty meters underground, an ossuary containing the remains of several million Parisians is found. The presence of statements, poems and other sacred or profane texts adds a meditative aspect to the circuit.
