Planning a trip to Paris? Have you been, but didn't get to experience all the sites? Did you brave the Paris Catacombs? Tourcaster now offers an audio walking tour of the underground mass tomb, to download and listen to on your iPod or mp3 player. Although there are many other downloadable Paris audio tours offered, this is the only tour that is conducted completely underground and with no map.
Beginning in 1786, Paris began moving their dead underground. With improper burials and many overcrowded cemeteries, parts of the city were becoming contaminated and disease-ridden. Since Paris sits on a limestone-quarry, the subterranean tunnels were turned into mass graves, to help control the spread of infection. The dead from riots in the Place de Greve and Rue Meslee were some of the first to be placed in the catacombs.
Since then, les carrières de Paris, has become quite the attraction as many of the original tunnels are still open to the public. The tunnels are policed by the Cataflics to ensure the preservation of this amazing site. There are of course those who wish to explore beyond the open tunnels, and these people are called Cataphiles. The most notorious group calls themselves the Mexican Perforation , and their underground movie theater was busted in September of 2004. To download this tour visit our website
