#Paris Catacombs

[radiocurrency]

Ayooo but imagine exploring the illegal part of the Paris catacombs. You turn a corner and its just Armand, sitting on a pile of bones, on his iPad.

My first thought is how rad it would be to sit on that throne. My second is that boning on the bone throne would definitely break it (plus be desecration of human remains, whatever).

The Paris catacombs

If memory serves from when I visited when I was 12, most of the bones aren't even glued in place -- they're so tightly packed that they stay in place like stones in an arch.

halloween is over but i just wanna note that paris is factually the most terrifying city and not just because of the catacombs and populists and bedbugs and princess diana dying but also because the film irréversible is set there

As requested by @i-am-a-stupid-robot, a few photos of the spoooooooooky Paris catacombs:

We went in late May and it was chilly and very, very quiet. The queue to go in lasted around an hour because it's a major tourist destination, but when we were down there, it was like it was just me and my friends. You could hear water dripping, and the occassional voice in the distance. And everywhere you look, the bones are organised in this similar style. Like I said, wandering off the route is a good way to get lost for days and in fact people have done that.

For real though, if you're ever in Paris, you have to go here.

“Oh! If all the people who once belonged to these inanimate remains could appear in one single instant before our eyes, we would see, alas! what we cannot avoid: that virtue is mixed up with crime, opulence with misery, good sense with foolishness, brilliance with stupidity, wisdom with folly, composure with debauchery, thrift with extravagance, generosity with avarice, gentleness with brutality, thankfulness with ingratitude, courage with cowardice, activity with laziness, honor and glory with shame and scorn, and finally; humility with pride and modesty with temerity.”

— Thomas Détruisard, a curate from Gentilly, visiting the Paris Catacombs in 1812, in Essai sur les catacombes

I know they use the Eiffel Tower bc it’s like a super well known landmark but they managed to use the Pont des Arts for the lock scene in Perfuma and the louvre once or twice but there’s lots of places to see and such in Paris

My point here is that in my au I want an episode in the catacombs
