Paris Association of Friends of the Catacombs

The Paris Association of Friends of the Catacombs is a group dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the Catacombs of Paris, an underground ossuary that holds the remains of millions of people. Established by enthusiasts and historians, the association organizes educational tours, events, and exhibitions to raise awareness about this unique historical site. The Catacombs, created in the late 18th century to address cemetery overcrowding, offer insights into Paris's history and its relationship with death. The association plays a vital role in volunteering efforts and advocating for the protection of this important cultural heritage.
