French daredevils explore the catacombs under Paris<\/h3>\n

Paris: it is the city of love, the city of wine, the city of good food, the place where literary greats were born, and the site of one of Western Europe’s bloodiest revolutions.<\/p>\n

The Catacombs of Paris were built in the late 18th century to overcome the city’s overflowing cemeteries.<\/p>\n

Today, the catacombs are home to the remains of more than six million people in a space that some estimates put as spanning 200 miles.<\/p>\n

Amanda Rollins, an American living in Paris who documents her life on social media, shared with her followers the unsettling story told by her former Parisian boyfriend.<\/p>\n
