Catacombes de Paris are a famous underground ossuary in Paris, France. The Catacombs date from Roman times as Christianity spread throughout the Roman Empire. Located south of the former city gate, the "Barri�re d'Enfer", at today's Place Denfert-Rochereau ), the ossuary fills a renovated section of caverns and tunnels that are the remains of Paris' stone mines. Opened in the late 18th century, the underground cemetery became a tourist attraction on a small scale from the early 19th century, and has been open to the public on a regular basis from 1867. Following an incident of vandalism, they were closed to the public in September of 2009 and reopened 19 December of the same year.
