This article is totally crazy. Apparaently it never occured to you that some people (in fact, a lot of people) might like this kind of thing and find the historical value of it. When I go to Paris this is something I definitely want to see. I'm researching the Catacombs for a project and it sounds pretty interesting. Um, narrow minded much? This article is totally crazy.

I have been to catacombes and ossuaries all over the world and they are macabre and beautiful. Speaking of wierd art, Cedlec ossuary near Prague is decorated all over with chandeliers and coats of arms made from bones. I think that the way we have treated our dead in times past, and now, is fascinating. And turning the long dead into a beautiful monument to rememembrance is surely more useful and respectful than the sentimental clap-trap spouted over modern boneyards. Worth a visit, unless you are truly claustrophobic. And yes, very suitable for children- they love the weird and wonderful, as Roald Dahl proves!

The catacombs are absolutely fascinating and unique, and the chance to experience such a vast subterranean area in a major city such as Paris is a rare opportunity. It really is another world down there. If the first reviewer was put off by the amount of 'dead people' down there then maybe it wasn't such a good idea to chose to visit an underground cemetary- the clue's in the title! Also, it's not particularly 'odd' that some of the bones were arranged into patterns down there when you imagine the daily grind of piling up millions of bones and what a repetitive and boring task it must have been. It seems the reviewer lacks any sort of imagination. Do not be put off by the first review.
