Spooky: Halloween in Haunted Paris

As we approach the witching hour over half-term, perhaps you might want to take the kids to a spooky place like Paris!!

Travel Blog on Viator.com is running an article on Top 25 Haunted Places around the World, and Paris features!

There are 25 haunted spots featured on this list, and plenty more around the world besides what is listed below. How do you pick just one each year in which to spend your Halloween? Well, the good news is that these places retain their scary reputation year-round, so even if only one of them makes the cut for October 31st this year you can turn the rest into a frightening world tour if you want. It may not be a relaxing trip, but at least you’ll keep your adrenaline going at full speed.

How can one of the world’s most romantic cities also be haunted? It may sound crazy, but Paris is home to a number of haunted spots. One of the most famous is the city’s catacombs, a network of tunnels underneath Paris’ streets that became a storage facility for human bones when the city’s cemeteries were getting overcrowded. Visitors today can get tours of the catacombs, walking past thousands upon thousands of bones. Other haunted places in Paris include the Garnier opera house, which served as the setting for The Phantom of the Opera.
