Paris called the City of Light, however, many Diggers have reason to believe it the City of Darkness, as it is in her real treasures are hidden as much as the centuries who have never covered the sun. Directly under the feet of spectators and hundreds of cars in the underground heart of the city lies a different world. Hundreds of kilometers of galleries, which are known to locals as the Paris catacombs. In fact, this ancient quarry, which provided most of the construction material, when Paris was under construction.
Catacombs were created gradually. In ancient times there were already working for the extraction of limestone and gypsum, open way. The Romans were able to realize their traditions are of stone construction, thus creating a strong home. It is noteworthy that the Latin name for Paris - Lu, which directly translates as "white" stone banks of the Seine. Stone extraction was carried out in these catacombs is active, and with the expansion of urban space, people were faced with a problem, because the residential areas began to be erected over the void. Another big challenge was the lack of systematic, which is famous for education in China. That is, the catacombs were created so chaotic that it is impossible to create a single card.
To Diggers Parisian catacombs is some danger, because the local tunnels, though stronger, but can not be considered reliable. In the catacombs can stumble upon the old mass graves of people who died because of plague or other diseases. Many mass graves were moved from the cemetery of Innocents, which once literally "fell out" to the citizens with human remains in the catacombs. Reputation was completely ruined catacombs after reporting that there were religious services.
