Unfortunately this is one of the ways that they dealt with the plague at the time, as well as several other tragedies, and seeing as Paris has such a high living capacity but so much of that is covered by buildings there wasn't many options to deal with the dead at the time, to continue burying the dead traditionally would have likely led to Paris itself being buried by collapsing in on itself, the tunnels of the catacombs were the much more reasonable option, and while some parts of the catacombs are still open to tourist's it's primarily as a way for us to remember the horrors of the past and pay our respects to the dead, Paris is as equally a necropolis, city of the dead as it is the city of love. Now the tunnels of the catacombs are long winding and mostly unmapped from what I know these days, there were problems of people travelling into the restricted sections to explore, or to do uncouth rituals, and unfortunately some of those same people have also joined those corpses. The tunnels are dangerous and are willing to claim those who are living if you get too complacent. I give my utmost respects to the catacombs, a place of morbid beauty, of tragedy, of horror, of history, of mystique and intrigue.
