Episode notes

There are hundreds of kilometers worth of tunnels under Paris but only around 11,000 square meters are said to be bone zones housing an estimated six million people's remains. Only about 800 meters of these tunnels are arranged into sculpture and open for look you lose like us so I found a video of YouTuber fun for Lewis who just wriggled like a ferret into some of the zones that are less tourist friendly this just doesn't compute in my head Lewis says. "It's just bone stacked on bones like you would only see this in a movie"

Let’s get spooky. Venture below Parisian streets and into the catacombs: hundreds of miles of subterranean tunnels housing millions of human skeletons, some fashioned into sculpture. Alie tracked down Dr. Erin-Marie Legacey – author of “Making Space for the Dead,” professor of French history and one of the world’s foremost experts on this eerie place. We chat about everything from miasmas to sinkholes, boggling cemetery history, smells, skulls, hidden chambers, (very) underground parties, and how we view our bodies post-life. Also: Alie takes a trip to see them herself.
