Les Catacombes de Paris

The Catacombs were one of the most beautiful, morbid, haunting, and powerful things I've ever seen. Lucie helped translate many of the writings but some were also in Latin so those will be googled later (I have probably 40 more pictures).

Regardless of the time that has past, I felt it distasteful and disrespectful to pose with the remains, as these were humans who lived, breathed, and loved. As the audio-guided tour explained to us, the conditions in which these people came to become part of the Catacombs was more out of necessity than many realize.

And to the people who have desecrated some of the bodies with vandalism: 🖕🖕🖕

p.s. Around 6 million people are buried in the Catacombs.Lue lisää
