Summary

The former limestone quarry that exists beneath the city of Paris is a creepy yet dank combination of history. These catcoms house fossils from 45 million years ago, the bones of 6 million Parisians going back to the 4th century, occult temples, and French resistance as well as German bunkers from WW2. Strider shares photos from his recent visit with his dank wife.
