The Dark Side of the City of Lights

The idea of my trip to Paris in June conjured up images of taking photos from the Eiffel Tower, sipping coffee at a pavement café and strolling alongside the River Seine. Little did I know that I would be creeping along a cold dungeon-like tunnel examining 5 human skulls! But as we waited in the queue to visit the popular Paris Catacombs, my French friend Colette assured me that while it might seem a bit creepy, it was one of the capital’s most fascinating attractions and I definitely wouldn’t be disappointed. It had taken over an hour and a half to get in, so as we descended 10 19 metres down a chilly, dimly lit, winding staircase, I actually began to experience a sense of anticipation. But I soon changed my tune again as we came to the end of a passageway. As far as the eye could see, there were pale bones and skulls neatly stacked along the sides of a narrow tunnel! Never before had I seen such a 15 sinister spectacle!

Our guide explained that originally these were underground limestone quarries which provided the stone for some of Paris’ greatest buildings including the Louvre and Notre Dame. A

whole street caved in to the ground in 1774, small tunnels were dug for inspectors to enter and prevent more collapses. Soon, a 20 network of tunnels was formed. Then, in 1786, water supplies started to be contaminated by decomposing bodies from overcrowded cemeteries. As a result, six million skeletons were moved below, transforming the quarries into catacombs. The most recent date from the French Revolution but the oldest could 25 be more than 1,200 years old!

After the talk, we were shown into an enclosed space where we came face to face with a ring of skulls. I began to read some of the inscriptions; I suddenly began to find them beautiful and mysterious. I asked the tour guide how long the tunnel was. He 30 replied “Well, this walk is just over a mile, but it’s just a small section of a 180-mile maze of tunnels; it’s like a city under a city.” “You’d definitely get lost without a map down here, wouldn’t you?” I commented to Colette. “Oh, that’s the job of the cataphiles,” answered my friend. “Cataphiles are people who 35 secretly enter the tunnels and make their own maps.”As we continued our tour, I learnt that these tunnels were used by resistance fighters during World War II, as a place for farmers to grow mushrooms and even as a safe for 2,600 tons of France’s gold. Most fascinating though was hearing about the elaborate world 40 down there – spaces which have been converted into secret cinemas, concert halls and restaurants by cataphiles. One cinema, for instance, has niches carved out of the limestone for candles and terraced seats in front of a huge cinema projector. They had even installed a security device which triggered a recording of 45 dogs barking if someone came near!“It’s all amazing, but under no circumstances would I spend an evening in a dark tunnel infested with rats!” I told Colette. She replied: “The people who come here want to escape the surface world, with its rules. They feel totally free in a place where nothing 50 is cushioned with bright lights, cars and signposts. There are few places where you can experience complete silence in the centre of a bustling city.” I had to admit, I could see the appeal of this.

As the tour ended, we emerged onto a sunlit pavement. For the rest of my trip, I found myself staring at manhole covers in the 55 road and imagining the incredible hidden world below. People dive to the greatest depths of the oceans and climb the highest mountains to explore the unknown, but perhaps one of the world’s greatest unexplored treasures lay right under my feet!
