Paris is sitting on top of miles and miles of underground tunnels known as stone mines. In the late eighteenth century the bones of approximately 6 million Parisians was moved down into these mines. The result is astounding. The bones were carefully arranged, so they almost look like lace patterns. Quite beautiful. I have always had a strange love of graveyards and bones- so this was a highlight of our trip for me!
