Dead bodies. Everywhere. Went down 130 steps and was in a tunnel 45 minutes long. It was a lot of fun going with friends, because we were able to make jokes and we had people to talk to. But I think that if I had gone by myself I would've been thoroughly creeped out.
Bordering the passageways of the tunnels were skulls arranged in a pattern and bones piled up according to type of bone. It makes you wonder who arranged them in the hearts and crosses we saw. Very cool experience.
They were built by workers overseen by Inspector General of Quarries, Charles-Axel Guillaumot, and then later, Louis-Étienne Héricart de Thury.
