This is one of Paris's more unusual tourist attractions. A few centuries back, downtown Paris was running out of land, but had numerous cemetaries that were so old that no one even remembered who were burried there. So, they decided to dig up the graves, place the bones in some abandoned tunnels from former rock quarries, and then re-use the cemetary land. The end result is that there are now several million skeletons neatly stacked in the caves below the streets of Paris, and tourists can wander through the caves to check them out.
