Inside the Paris Catacombs
What's the dark history of the Paris Catacombs?
Beneath the streets of the French capitol lurks a city of the dead: the Paris Catacombs.
Why they were piled up there is a dark and fascinating story, that includes everything from the bloody days of the French Revolution, to the making of 'corpse candles' and a mystery man found amongst its passageways.
Joining Anthony and Maddy for today's episode is the fantastic Cat Irving, Human Remains Conservator for Surgeons鈥� Hall in Edinburgh, to take us down to this underworld.
