The underground system of Paris is a veritable labyrinth covering 300 kilometres, where two of those kilometres actually serve as a cavernous cemetery.

A veritable labyrinth in the heart of underground Paris, a unique site in former quarry galleries. Opened to the public in 1809, the world's largest ossuary houses the remains of several million Parisians as the Paris cemeteries closed.
