It took over 12 long years to relocate the remains of 6 million bodies to their final resting place in the catacombs. During the French Revolution, the Paris Catacombs served as the primary final resting place of most Parisians, many of whom died by guillotine, including Maximilien Robespierre, one of the revolutionary movement’s most controversial figures.
