Full shownotes at www.80dayspodcast.com/paris | Support: www.patreon.com/80dayspodcast In this episode of 80 Days: An Exploration Podcast, we’ll be talking about Paris, or rather, what lies underneath it -- The Paris Catacombs. What began as a network of mines beneath the city which spanned approximately 200 miles or 322 km soon morphed into something much more. A crisis in the 18th Century quite literally shook the foundations of the city, prompting the creation of an ossuary or network of catacombs beneath the city, which would go on to become home to generations of Parisien dead.
