The old mining tunnels under Paris (later the catacombs) are 3-10 feet under the street in most areas, however, later on they go deeper and deeper. Some urban explorers even report finding that they go as deep as 50-75 feet below. The catacombs are vast, pitch-black, easy to get lost in. Strange pictographs are seen on the walls, galleries of bones exist. The catacombs are most uncharted. As they go deeper, it becomes more visible that the tunnels were once used for mining. The primitive limestone becomes cruder and cruder and the walls eventually become nothing but carved out bedrock. No one is sure exactly how deep they go, if they have some sort of final area. Few people are brave enough to go down very deep. Some tunnels have collapsed and/or flooded. There are also several legends about them. Ancient cults, Paris' rather sketchy characters and the entrance to hell itself all exist down there according to popular belief (by popular I mean the kids on my block).
