Notes

In the late eighteenth century (1780) closed the cemetery of the "Holy Innocents", in Les Halles, the most important of Paris. They closed at the request of local residents, it was felt that it was public health hazard.<br />
They moved the remains to the place called "Tombe-Issoire". They accumulate the bones of all the cemeteries of Paris until 1860.
In Ossuary door is an inscription that says: "Stop, this is the might of death"<br />
There are the remains of about six million Parisians.
