Crazy that each and every one of those little bones represent a person who lived a life, who laughed, cried, wanted, and loved. Really makes you think about how small our existence really is, because when it's over, you're just another addition to the pile of bones.

It's also so awesomely French that they put up a grave for Philibert Aspairt.. who died down there looking for treasure - which was bottles of liquor.
All accurate except "I'm getting out of here!" this is where things get more complicated. Depending on which *race* of American you are depends on whether or not you go running out or say "Let's walk toward the voices"
Courtney Kline yeah if you are South American or super religious you’d run. Any true blood hillbilly American wouldn’t hear voices unless it was living humans. All that hocus pocus garbage is for city folk.

I once went out with an engineer whose job it was to strengthen the walls of the St Martin Canals in Paris. He was supposed to fill in with concrete the hollows surrounding the canals and he told me that they found many huge rooms, even furnished with chandeliers etc where people had lived from the 19 th century onwards. His job was to block them and fill them in ! So sad but there are hundreds of miles of underground tunnels in Paris with many rooms.
Can I just say, thank you for this video. Straight to the point, done during daytime, no 3AM nonsense, no “ghost hunting” with electronic gadgets. Interesting historical facts and research, plus the guide was really chill and down to earth. I’ve only been to the legal part of the catacombs and it’s amazing... in no way we felt any sort of ‘presence’ or energy like other videos claim... I guess it’s the darkness and silence that can mess with your head. Thank you guys, tho 6 years after you’ve published this 😉
and those people are all hopelessly lost to history, no record of their existence , makes me realize how rare it is for a person to be remembered long past their death, like Julius Caesar or Bonnie and Clyde...and no one can ever predict who will be remembered either, takes a lot of things good and bad coming together to become a revered figure from history.
It's not because the video I *JUST* watched was about a diver who died trying to recover the body of another diver who died exploring a 300ft cave. That man's name was Dave Shaw. What are the odds.
@@joejones9520 Or take that even farther like the two fighting dinosaur fossils found in Asia. They've come to the conclusion that the two dinos were going at it when out of nowhere a giant sand dune spilled over on top of them, smothering them and encasing them in a million year old time capsule. Now their remains are showcased in a museum for us the humans to pay money to stare at. I bet they didn't see that coming, just like the sand dune.
Great video: - No exaggerated horror music / sound effects / heavy video editing just to make things scary. - Great cameraman & edit (scenes are always shooting the guide walking towards the camera) instead of shooting the persons butt in front of them & keep yelling hurry up! - The guide was exceptional, great historian, simple explanation & very calm. He chooses to sit & explain. Unlike some videos, they become breathless while they walk & talk. - The short cuts thru the main holes was a treat, because almost every catacomb videos features too much on the railway entrance, the graffiti & especially the pile of bones / skulls. - Kudos to the guide again when he fixes the main hole while exiting. Although it's illegal to enter the catacombs but this shows how he cares & respect. - Lastly, when the guide lights up an oil lamp, you know this guy is the real deal. Thanks for reading. Regards from Malaysia.
It's actually a carbide lamp, commonly used by miners in the past. The pellets he filled the bottom with are calcium carbide (CaC2) and he filled the top reservoir with water. A controlled drip of water falls onto the calcium carbide, producing acetylene gas (C2H2) which is flammable. Agree, great video. I love that he has all the appropriate equipment, wears rubber boots, old pants, but also his fancy watch XD
a spliff smoker knows how to see what is a spliff or not.. its that's not a spliff (wihite filter, smoking rolling papers) so hes rolling cigarettes in joint rolling papers... although you see him smoking normal cigarettes in other catacomb videos ;)
aliennz zillaz I have a friend at university who rolls plain tobacco cigarettes in joint papers and puts normal cigarette filters in. Pretty fat,too. If I didn't know he's just putting tobacco,I'd might as well think he's smoking up a fat spliff.

Well to answer that question, no one really would know the answer to that because those catacombs stretch for over 400 miles with thousands of entrances. Who knows if there is a secret pit that drug addicts congregate in. No one would ever find them, that's for sure.
Or maybe nobody ever wants to go down there because they'll get lost and because it's the stuff of nightmare. Or maybe there's something else down there. The poor bastard who got lost in the catacombs was running from someone, or something.

@@fred6059 it has happened, I watched this one video and the group the guy was with had their entrance welded by police while they were down there. Took them a few more hours to find another way out. The showed a picture of the entrance welded shut as well
It's scary to think about that the catacombs are so easily accessible by what it seems like virtually anywhere in Paris. It's like a borderline free adventure underground to take anytime you like

It's also interesting how air is able to flow down far enough to be breathable. I wonder if it's really thin down there. He's smoking cigs so it can't be that bad.
*****, i've never done anything like this so I can't really relate, but it still seems like there wouldn't be much air flow down there, especially because they keep blocking off access points. I'm not saying you're wrong, however, because I have nothing to compare it to.
+SheldonLudlow their isn't anything to limit the flow of gases. The air gets thin usually at really high altitudes where the molecules are far apart.

Thank you for the best tour of the catacombs that I have experienced on RUclips - and I've experienced a gob of 'em. Your choice of a knowledgeable as well as personable guide is a great factor in making this a very entertaining video. I thank you again. . .
One of the small things that I love to do in any historic location is look at the stairs if they're from that original time. I connect to the place through looking at those stairs straight on and seeing the way they are shaped from the wearing down of feet over time. I don't know why but out of everything it helps me connect the history the most.
This is the best Catacombs video I've seen. I wish I could clean up his subtitles for him, but they appear to be embedded into the video. And that lantern! Damn that's legit. Gives you that 1800s feel.
Theses are the guys Id trust down deep to get you out safe as fuck. They know parts that no other video shows, With no or very minimal graffiti you see the beauty in the tunnels mush better. Notice he never gets his feet wet like a boss 👊 Shares knowledge and took the time to add subtitles thank you. And probably one of the very few that knows every tunnel / levels even by the whales and secret short cuts. This is the guy you want heading up the search and rescue for deep deep wander. Respect
Yep, just what I was thinking. Never been anywhere else but once in Estonia, once a quick stop in Rostock, German. Twice on a road trip up in North Norway. But these catacombs are just too cool, maybe some day I get to go there, just need to persuade some of my friends to come with me. =)
Ivy H How old are you then..? =) I know the feeling, where I live, here are not so many cool places, at least not anymore. You would have take a road trip if you want to seek old abandoned places for example.. =P
At 14:38 you can see a stick figure not unlike the one seen in the Paris Catacombs "lost tape" featured in the "Scariest Places of the World "episode". Perhaps it is a common type of graffiti for someone.
***** I saw a series of photos taken during an exploration of an old facility in the United States where someone used glow in the dark paint to creepy effect. Could you imagine seeing some glowing eyes in the darkness of the catacombs? ; )
I didn't buy that video either. If someone were really missing and there was proof their last known whereabouts were in the Paris catacombs there would be at least a few news articles about it.
the old miners carbide lamps! I never thought to see one of those still alive and kicking. I don't even know where you'd find miners grade Calcium Carbide nowadays
@Simon you dont know what you're talking about ... There's places where you have to squeeze through literall "walls of bones". Bones of your ancestors beneath your feet, over your head and pressing against your sides . I've never had a more humbling and terrifying experience... ever. Je peux t'assurer aussi que y a des personnes de tout genre qui viennent dans les Cata et la plupart des graff sont en Français donc je vois pas ce que t'appelle "distinctly French" -.- It has nothing to do with being foreign or not, respecting history or whatever. In the end bones are just bones... one day when the last person that remembered you or your dids dies then you become just like every bone down there unamed, inconsequential, forgotten. Like most of the human race really🙂
Thanks for recording these wonderful trips into the underground. Going down there for real is a dream I would probably never achieve in my life, but watching your videos is the best closest thing.
Yeah its litterally impossible, the only way to get to all of it is to stay down there and have water,food, and lights and batteries for weeks. It's like going from fort worth to san Antonio walking and than walking back. You would have to live down there temporarily to do the whole thing
Wow I watched a ton of footage but this series is just the best of them all. Easy to follow his route on the map, thanks to the frequent comments on landmarks, also his explanations are very interesting.
I’ve always wondered how the catacombs haven’t been completely mapped. I mean, even if there’s no graffiti, the fact that you’re seeing stone walls instead of solid rock means _someone_ was there to build them at some point, right?
Dude you know that before the catacombs there was emptyness? Walls where built to support buildings, because there was absolute emptyness there. So, as you guess, the guys who built these walls sisn't do it full random and where smart enough to map it...
@@timfrolov7891 then where is this map and why does my friend who goes down there say that most of it is unmapped or people rearranged the bones where they made they're own hideouts , usually cults but they don't mess with u
48 years ago when i was 7 I lived in a house in Harborne, Bhma, UK. Behind the house was a large patch of wasteland where we had bonfires & kids played etc. One day I was playing there & I found hundreds of small black & white photographs of what I now know are the catacombs. However at the time I was horrified & so were my sisters & parents. My dad took all the photos away & desroyed them because he & my mom thought they were to do with stan. It was 1972. Ive never forgotton it & I would love to go there one day.

It may look the same to you, to me I see a culture, regional style. Uk graffiti is different to french graffiti and so on. Wether you like it or not graffiti is art with different facets, styles and disciplines. So to say it’s not individual is false just because you’re to pigheaded to embrace and understand it.
I started exploring a cave in Arkansas once. But when I got up to the part where I had to squirm along on my belly, I started getting a little freaked and turned back.
This was very informative and genuine, unlike the other exploration videos of this platform. As a side note, much of this documentary had the same energy as Tarkovsky's Stalker.
Just imagine, all of those bones have so many individual stories to them.
I was thinking the same thing. Who were they? Whats their story and such?
Probably mostly prisoners and men and unknowns killed during the multiple wars, some also say sacrifices from long ago but I don't think many people want to know..

Thank you for the best tour of the catacombs that I have experienced on RUclips - and I've experienced a gob of 'em. Your choice of a knowledgeable as well as personable guide is a great factor in making this a very entertaining video. I thank you again. . .
I saw a bug fly by how the heck does it survive down there
This really knows his history which a great thing to see and hear about. Great video.
I wonder who figured out you could get inside from that street opening lol
The guys working for street maintenance / Someone who looked up street plans ?
They are well known in Paris
@wagner1va You're clearly an asshole
wagner1va 😂😂😂
Hii
One of the small things that I love to do in any historic location is look at the stairs if they're from that original time. I connect to the place through looking at those stairs straight on and seeing the way they are shaped from the wearing down of feet over time. I don't know why but out of everything it helps me connect the history the most.
One of my favourites were the stairs in Versailles.
Very nicely done. I like the information you shared. Thank you.
Hii
This is the best Catacombs video I've seen. I wish I could clean up his subtitles for him, but they appear to be embedded into the video. And that lantern! Damn that's legit. Gives you that 1800s feel.
The drawing of a Face at 9:00 looks like Boris Karloff's Frankenstein monster.
Theses are the guys Id trust down deep to get you out safe as fuck. They know parts that no other video shows, With no or very minimal graffiti you see the beauty in the tunnels mush better. Notice he never gets his feet wet like a boss 👊 Shares knowledge and took the time to add subtitles thank you. And probably one of the very few that knows every tunnel / levels even by the whales and secret short cuts. This is the guy you want heading up the search and rescue for deep deep wander. Respect
THERE IS A PLACE WHERE THE SPIRITS CAN DANCE
I might have to visit Paris to explore the catacombs
Yep, just what I was thinking. Never been anywhere else but once in Estonia, once a quick stop in Rostock, German. Twice on a road trip up in North Norway. But these catacombs are just too cool, maybe some day I get to go there, just need to persuade some of my friends to come with me. =)
I'm going with ya
Ivy H Me..? =)
I wish I was older and that there would be so many more places where I can go with my friends. There are just no cool places where I live goddammit...
Ivy H How old are you then..? =) I know the feeling, where I live, here are not so many cool places, at least not anymore. You would have take a road trip if you want to seek old abandoned places for example.. =P
4:40 To be or not to be? This dude is hilarious
At 14:38 you can see a stick figure not unlike the one seen in the Paris Catacombs "lost tape" featured in the "Scariest Places of the World "episode". Perhaps it is a common type of graffiti for someone.
i saw that too
It's from the tape of this one guy who got lost. Someone copied it because it Looks creepy.
***** I saw a series of photos taken during an exploration of an old facility in the United States where someone used glow in the dark paint to creepy effect. Could you imagine seeing some glowing eyes in the darkness of the catacombs? ; )
I think i would run for my life lol. But as a graff Artist myself i gotta say most of those creepy drawings/writings in lost places are just a Hoax.
I didn't buy that video either. If someone were really missing and there was proof their last known whereabouts were in the Paris catacombs there would be at least a few news articles about it.
What an incredibly cool place! Thank you for your thoughtfulness and respect.
the old miners carbide lamps! I never thought to see one of those still alive and kicking. I don't even know where you'd find miners grade Calcium Carbide nowadays
Amazon.
Très bon guide, les infos sont intéressantes merci
Kinda hate to see their remains just scattered and walked on.
Simon Nagy some of it looks distinctly French
Simon Nagy French graffitis
Just a pile of bones
@Simon you dont know what you're talking about ...
There's places where you have to squeeze through literall "walls of bones".
Bones of your ancestors beneath your feet, over your head and pressing against your sides .
I've never had a more humbling and terrifying experience... ever.
Je peux t'assurer aussi que y a des personnes de tout genre qui viennent dans les Cata et la plupart des graff sont en Français donc je vois pas ce que t'appelle "distinctly French" -.- It has nothing to do with being foreign or not, respecting history or whatever.
In the end bones are just bones...
one day when the last person that remembered you or your dids dies then you become just like every bone down there unamed, inconsequential, forgotten. Like most of the human race really🙂
@Simon ... he said 200 yrs ago cops were tagging the area too... So yeah it's not foreigners
its really cool seeing some of these videos of random people breaking in and exploring
lol imagine people on the surface watching them descend into the sewers and then close the lid behind them.... they'd be like..... uhhhh??????
Wear a high visibility vest and a hardhat, no-one will question you.
If you’re French, you probably already know they are going in the « catacombs ».
Thanks for recording these wonderful trips into the underground. Going down there for real is a dream I would probably never achieve in my life, but watching your videos is the best closest thing.
Perfect place to quarantine
This guy may have been down there So many Times he knows every corner every inch every speck of dust any way great vid keep it up :-)
there are over 270 miles of tunnels, no one has ever gone onto.. what this guy just showed was .2%.. i agree with you but remember the place is huuuge
Yeah its litterally impossible, the only way to get to all of it is to stay down there and have water,food, and lights and batteries for weeks. It's like going from fort worth to san Antonio walking and than walking back. You would have to live down there temporarily to do the whole thing
No one questions what he is carrying in his duffle bag, for the same reason no questions why a man is entering or exiting the underground
You never ask question to the man who is wearing the right uniform for the task. Really useful for robbers
Excelent work, great knowledge
Wow I watched a ton of footage but this series is just the best of them all. Easy to follow his route on the map, thanks to the frequent comments on landmarks, also his explanations are very interesting.
He's wondered into a darksouls level. 😂

I die. 👏🏽
Girl, as fine as you are I'd die there with ya

Video starts with man unscrewing manhole: Automatic suspense
I’ve always wondered how the catacombs haven’t been completely mapped. I mean, even if there’s no graffiti, the fact that you’re seeing stone walls instead of solid rock means _someone_ was there to build them at some point, right?
Dude you know that before the catacombs there was emptyness? Walls where built to support buildings, because there was absolute emptyness there. So, as you guess, the guys who built these walls sisn't do it full random and where smart enough to map it...
Pretty sure they stretch all the way to italy,
@@timfrolov7891 then where is this map and why does my friend who goes down there say that most of it is unmapped or people rearranged the bones where they made they're own hideouts , usually cults but they don't mess with u
@@HamguyBacon no. Rome also has catacombs
It wasnt 'someone' it was many people over hundreds of years. It wasnt designed. It just grew.
"To be or not to be"
this is refreshingly matter of fact. no bs scare tactics
Most suave tour guide ever.
This is wonderful, thank you ^__^
Merci pour cette géniale ballade sous Paris, j'aimerais tant les visiter aussi !
this was the gnarliest catacombs video i’ve seen. so sick
Anyone else expected "Tomb of Giants" to pop up?
Sir, You win 5 Internets for this comment.
@1400 reminds me of the start of Oblivion :) Thank you for an amazing tour x
48 years ago when i was 7 I lived in a house in Harborne, Bhma, UK.
Behind the house was a large patch of wasteland where we had bonfires & kids played etc.
One day I was playing there & I found hundreds of small black & white photographs of what I now know are the catacombs.
However at the time I was horrified & so were my sisters & parents.
My dad took all the photos away & desroyed them because he & my mom thought they were to do with stan.
It was 1972.
Ive never forgotton it & I would love to go there one day.
4:49 ''To be or not to be'' ...love it :)
actully i love when you close the cover with sense of responsbility
Good tour. Thanks for sharing this. Lots of history there.
Super intéressant c'est digne d'un reportage au cœur des cata bravo à toi pour cette histoire de Paris on apprend beaucoup de choses
2:01 sounds like that minecraft skeleton dude
This look like where they filmed the movie As Above So Below
It is
Good video. Very knowledgeable cata-phile. Always wanted to visit this place.
Im obsessed with these catacombs i cant watch enough videos with them
le mec il est tellement serein et il connait super bien l'endroit , probablement un des meilleurs guides aha !
The irony of graffiti is that it supposed to be a mark individuality but in reality makes everywhere in the world look the same.
I think you should check out some culture.
@@druidofthefang By 'culture' do you mean any given populated area on the planet that has a written alphabet and is within a 25 mile radius of a shop that sells spray paints ?
@@LeeRaldar Proving my point, good way to show your ignorance and simplicity.
@@druidofthefang I really wish that whoever programs you NPCs would update your response databases from these ubiquitous retorts such as: ignorant, uneducated, unintelligent, simple and that perennial favourite 'do your research'.
Anyway I have an oil painting to complete so au revoir et bon chance with your aerosol spraying.
It may look the same to you, to me I see a culture, regional style. Uk graffiti is different to french graffiti and so on. Wether you like it or not graffiti is art with different facets, styles and disciplines. So to say it’s not individual is false just because you’re to pigheaded to embrace and understand it.
Zombies map for black ops 3
Hell yeah
that's what origins is
+Bella C Counter-Strike map find the bomb haha.
+Puxi ten years later. "Found it!"
Nathan Young that would be funny.
Thanks for this video! No dramatized nonsense like the other stuff on youtube. Just experiencing the wonders and history of the catacombs :)
the catacombs are crazy interesting i cant stop watching no matter how terrifying it is
I would die to go down there with you, you seem to know everything about that place. Great content! Keep up the good work man.
I love this tour very interesting have watched it twice well done , very brave
That's so awesome you're using carbide lanterns I haven't seen anyone use those in forever..
amazing to rewatch those videos once i've been down there myself!
i wanna go toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo:(
+Peter B. Lucky, I hope I'll be able to find a guide like the guy in the video someday
"To be or not to be, that is the question" Wtf lol
It's a literary reference lol. Probably Shakespeare.
@@weneedmoreconsideratepeopl4006 this was definitely a Shakespeare reference.
now that is one hell of a tour guide, wish the people who took me there while i was in Paris knew so much about them..
The guide is a remarkable historian/researcher! Super interesting! Thanks!✌🏻
Vim pelos caçadores... Quem mas??? 🇧🇷
Que miedo meterse, me daria la claustrofobia. muy padre el video. saludos desde Toronto Canada. Abiantot
Speak English for others to understand I speak Spanish but my comments are English that is rude to others were are your manners
I started exploring a cave in Arkansas once. But when I got up to the part where I had to squirm along on my belly, I started getting a little freaked and turned back.
This was very informative and genuine, unlike the other exploration videos of this platform. As a side note, much of this documentary had the same energy as Tarkovsky's Stalker.
