  • For more than 300 years, millions of people have been buried beneath the streets of Paris. Come along as travel journalist Joel Connable takes you underground to, what many people call, one of the scariest places on Earth. Joel will also re-emerge from underground and show you something delicious in Paris.

    I feel like his trip to the catacombs actually scared the shit outta him. So much that his inner child came out and he needed to get an ice cream right away lol.

      They were buried there because back then there was disease called the plague aka the Black Death millions of people died and their cemeteries got to crowded so they made this place. So scary 😩

    Hey! I teach an online course over Poe's Cask of Amontillado through Outschool and would LOVE to use this video to show my students what the French catacombs are all about. Is it okay with you if I do? Outschool does record the classes for safety purposes.

      Yea, and that's just a small part of the catacombs where the bodies are buried.. Imagine how many bodies would fit down there, over 180 miles of tunnels. And catacombs of Odessa in Ukraine, there's over 1550 miles of tunnels.. That's pretty massive.. =P

      angel 132 steps down and a depth of 20 metres, equivalent to the size of a five storey building, the catacombs lie deeper than the Metro and sewer systems.

      Obviously they were taken apart. They were probably cremated partially so that their bones just remained and then the people took them down there and stacked them up.

    • @slobomotion
      @slobomotion 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      They change the routes here a lot and of course it's lit. The lights and the germs from visitors degrades the place with fungus and stuff, you know, the lights wear down the bones unnaturally, so they change the routes a lot. I've gone several times over the past 21 years and have not generally seen the same parts.

    • @gturner38
      @gturner38 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's lit, but not as bright as the video made it appear since they brought their own lighting. I wouldn't say I found it to be scary when I visited. Perhaps a little eerie and a reminder of our mortality that you don't need when there is water dripping from the ceiling or you pass under arches preventing collapses on the way out, but not scary.

      @slobomotion 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Most of them are. They also change the routes for visits down here fairly often, or the foul germs from visitors would destroy the old bones. If there's a part you like a lot, you probably won't see it again on subsequent visits.

    • @gturner38
      @gturner38 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The part tourists go through is rather small. There are many miles of catacombs, some with bones but most without that are the off limits areas.

      I bet some Parisians (and many non-Parisians) are happy that there's a movie about the Paris catacombs! I sure am, but I'm 11, so I can't watch it, anyway. Life sucks sometimes.
