To overcome this arduous situation, the lime stone mines that lied
under the city were turned into a burial place. All, the corpse from Les
Innocents, were transferred into these mines. It took two years for the

in these catacombs. These tunnels are open for the general public even
today and are regarded as a popular tourist attraction for those visiting
Paris.
