These underground ossuaries hold the remains of more than six million people. It was created beginning in 1774 as part of the effort to eliminate the effects of the city’s overflowing cemeteries and from 1788, nightly processions of covered wagons transferred remains from most of Paris’s cemeteries to a mine shaft.

there are still people living there down below
and occasional rave parties too 🤷
Social media is doing an absolute number on that culture.
Yeah… IDK… if you asked me for a literal recipe for “bad trip” I’d be hard pressed to do better than that.
Hadn’t considered that.
IDK… I can imagine it being a bit different if you go into the situation prepared for the bone-dance (Giggedy)… I had a German friend, Mark, in art school who was a crazy alcoholic — genuinely a great guy, but we’re talking about taking down a 24 pack of beer in hours —who (drunkenly) insisted that the whole point of ecstasy was that you could ordinarily only drink one case of beer by yourself, but “On E, PEEEEEETEEEE! No listen to me!!! Pete… on E… you can drink twooooo cases!”
Point being; raver culture might be a bit different over there.
Its not like there’s a refreshment tent. Its a catacomb
Still a rave… someone’s selling water for $20 a bottle. Maybe even a very expensive bottle of champagne… crap. Now I have to both remember what that 90’s movie was called and watch it again 😎
They’re currently closed!
they don’t use the official entrance ;)
I’d definitely rather live on surface-world… but lee-france ain’t getting any bigger 😉
As Above, So Below
“Ah… oue, yew know… jesst have fun wis it!”
I counted 94 skulls
