The entrance. Pretty sure this says "Stop! This is the empire of the dead"
Promising start...
skullz & bonez
Lots of skulls and femurs so far? Not much else..
My limited French doesn't extend this far but i'm sure it's nothing good
Skull fireplace maybe?
(still nothing but skulls and femurs?)
gettin' spoopy
"The way is shut - it was made by those who are dead, and the dead keep it. The way is shut."
...maybe?
Decorative.
We found love in a bony place
All in all, it was about a half hour walk to the other end across Paris, and it was very claustrophobic. Although mostly we were just concerned about why only skulls and femurs? Where are the other bones?? If anyone knows the answer to this plz let me know..
For those interested: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catacombs_of_Paris

I speak fluent French and you are way off - all of these signs are really positive and upbeat. One is instructions for a tasty apple pie.

Heheh spoopy

I remember the audio tour telling me something about like a concert being held there in the dead of night that was through secret invite :)
Inarticulated
Didn't wander off, find spoops and gate to hell and documented it.. 4/10

Can someone please make a necromancer "heavy breathing" meme for this.

So what happens to the bones that aren't skulls or femurs?
Muttons1337
Upvoted purely for that pun in the title
zzstarscreamzz
When we went through we were told that all the other bones are behind the skulls and femur facades
CoronelDelicinha
Steal a skull and put your dick in it

6million+ people are in those catacombs

And not one of them laughed at my jokes! Talk about a tough crowd.

The cemetery in the village next to mine has quite a gate : /a/8xv79
Malbak
It reads "Today it's me, tomorrow it's you".
WifiBee
The plaque says "Where is she, Death ? Always future or past. Barely she's present ("around", pun intended) and already is she gone.
WifiBee
The other plaque is about bones recovered from 2 old cemeteries (decommissioned) back from september 1859 (7bre means Sept-bre .. septembre)

I'm going in March! Beyond excited!

I see dead people
ShanDolftheGrey
When I went I saw a skull that had an upside down cross drawn between the eyes and it was the most metal thing I have ever seen.
JimmyShinkicker
"Where is Death? Always future and past. Sadly, it is present, for already it is no longer."
wellwellwelllookwhoscomecrawlingback
Is this where I'm meant to stand and play the ocarina before running in to find a heart piece?
GAFAtape
For #7? Neat.
Ooidal
Moreso "Where is Death, always in the future or past. Hardly here, and yet she is already gone." She being death (female noun, ergo pronoun)
DapperButtSlapper
You got most of it right! The last sentence translates to "As soon as it is present, it is already no longer"
MrsAcacia
Could it be "she" instead of "it"?
DarKalimHero
Yes.
Dudeism
Hah! "spoopy"

Nice one on the LOTR reference

You know it's a little mindblowing to think those skulls belonged to living breathing everyday people like you and I.
Snooj
And someone slaughtered them all just for the sake of art.
YogaQuotesErmIMeanYodaQuotes
Nope the catacombs are a cemetery
Snooj
You resurrected a six month old joke for what?
YogaQuotesErmIMeanYodaQuotes
To fight for the truth good sir
Snooj
But you do realize I was making a joke, right?
DarKalimHero
"Bones of the old cemetaries from La Trinité and Saint-Leu (Sebastopol Boulevard) laid in 1859 in the west ossuary and...
DarKalimHero
...transfered in the catacombs on november 1859. "

Necromancer heaven right here
Vectorman2
I don't know, I don't think a skull walking around on two femur bones would be very effective...
GadenKerensky
Just make some sort of bone monster out of skulls and femurs all stuck together.
Vectorman2
I'd rather imagine an army of two foot tall femur/skull things running around kicking people in the shins
GadenKerensky
But that would just be punt city.
Ragnarok1030
HAUNTED. AS. FUCK.
Vectorman2
FALSE, 10 feet there is a Glade plugin that keeps spirits away and the air 'mountain stream' fresh.
OatmealBreakfast
So haunted in fact that it circles back around and is actually the safest place on Earth.
Esdog
Why the safest on earth?
OatmealBreakfast
I imagine a movie where there's some kind of supernatural attack on the local population but because there's so much chaotic ghost 1/2
OatmealBreakfast
2/2 activity in the catacombs, it's like the probiotic activity in yogurt and repels the individual new attacking ghosts because of
OatmealBreakfast
3/2 supernatural saturation of the local area.
DarKalimHero
I see you took the cute and touristic tour. Find some crazy french and visit the muddy, tiny, stinky parts of them. And party like a fool !
elfoe
People get lost in those and die, so make sure you have a knowledgable guide
Simthu
Do you know anyone that can show me ? If someone will show me, i will travel from norway to do so..
DarKalimHero
They're not imgurians. You just have to find dark pubs, wander under bridges or on train tracks, drink beers at night. You'll find a way
Vectorman2
Did you talk to Bob the Frenchman? He is who I usually go to, you can find him at bobthefrenchman.eu
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
Yeah this is so cute. I've never seen the touristy version before. Try the one where you have a strong chance of getting lost and dying.
DarKalimHero
Yeah like crawling for half an hour in a tunnel filled with filthy water just big enough for a medium adult which finishes to a dead-end \o/
HoneyBadgerDoesNotGiveASingleFuck
Don't watch 'As Above, So Below' the night before you enter the Catacombs...
StevenFarmer
Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope
muisverriet
Don't watch it at all because it was shit
Honeynutkeagles
Some parts were cheesy but it still gave me the creeps total WHY THE HELL ARE YOU GOING BACK moments
balsamicninja
Don't watch it ever. Just terrible
iNeverPoopAtWork
I gave you an upvote, because we should all avoid terrible movies such as 'As Crap, So Shit'
asukara
The true story of a woman who got lost inside was way scarier
