For travelers to stay in a boutique hotel of Paris and hoping to explore the secrets of the city, an authentic Parisian experience that throws new light on the religious history of the city is exploring the catacombs that run under the streets. An underground Ossuary located south of the historic town gate (named ' Durango ' Enfer), who possess the remains of nearly six million people, filling what once were mine stones. With the official name of Ossuaire Municipal, Parisians ' today often refer to the entire tunnel network as ' the catacombs ', and is an incredibly atmospheric place to visit during a stay in Paris.
Origins
Since Roman times, the inhabitants of Paris buried their dead on the outskirts of the city. But this changed as Christianity was introduced, with its tradition of burying the faithful within consecrated ground adjacent to a church. By the 10th century, the city was expanding rapidly and cemeteries became overcrowded. It was not until the late 18th century that it was decided to create burial grounds in large scale suburban outskirts of the city and to condemn all parish cemeteries within the city limits. He makes a very different picture of the city to enjoy the comfort of a modern boutique hotel in Paris.
Creation
In its early years, the catacombs were primarily a repository of bone, but in 1810, were renovated, transforming them into a sepulture real on an equal footing with any mausoleum. In addition re-order skulls and femurs housed in the mausoleum in positioning which remains today in the catacombs, the gravestones and decorations of the cemetery were placed to complement the walls of the bones. Although it may seem macabre to ruminate a subject from the comfort of his Paris boutique hotel, is a fascinating slice of cultural history of Paris.
Today
Visitors going to the catacombs of his Paris boutique hotel will find an experience waiting for them that may seem like stepping into a different world underground. After descending a spiral staircase with stone close, silence broken only by the gurgling of a hidden aqueduct, visitors pass through a corridor of mortared stone twist. The bones begin in the halls and caves, with some arrangements very artistic in nature, such as a heart-shaped outline on a wall made of skulls. The other is a fourth round with a central pillar created with an arrangement of bone ' keg '. There are also rusty Gates blocking the passages leading to other parties ' unvisitable ' of the catacombs, many fallen into ruins and un-navigable for regular walks.
