Catacombes de Paris - Tour
The Catacombs of Paris is the largest collection of underground cemeteries in the world, containing the bones of approximately six million Parisians in underground burial chambers and galleries.
Underground in Paris is a nearly 300 km long network of quarry tunnels used for the building blocks of many Parisian buildings and monuments such as Notre Dame. Because the Parisian cemeteries were overcrowded and very unclean, it was decided to close the cemeteries and move the bones to the underground passages.
It would take two years to empty the majority of Paris's cemeteries. Beginning from an opening ceremony on 7 April 1785 with nightly processions of black cloth-covered wagons carrying the millions of Parisian dead. The property itself was transformed into a sort of museum for all the headstones, sculptures and other artifacts recuperated from the former cemetery. The human remains were dumped into empty chambers and covered with a neatly stacked wall of skulls and bones. Plaques indicate which cemetery the bones come from. Until well into the 19th century, the Catacombs of Paris remained in use for the storage of bones.
Today, about half a million visit a 1.7 km section of the tunnels. It is a former quarry from the 15th century containing the graves of up to the 18th century. After a descent of 25 meters of stairs, a walk takes the visitor past one of the catacombs where the stacked bones and skulls lie, arranged by cemetery where the bones come from and the year they were deposited in the catacombs or by events in the Parisian history.

Sleeping Beauty Castle - just like in a fairytale. A very impressive structure to see.
---
Details
Sleeping Beauty Castle - completed in 1992, for the park's 12 April opening, Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant stands 50 meters (160 ft) tall. The Castle is home to a dragon, which, at 27 meters (89 ft) from head to tail, was the largest Animatronic figure yet built when the park opened in April 1992. The walkthrough attraction consists of a dimly lit cavern with the large dragon sleeping silently. Occasionally it will 'wake up', puffing smoke and growling. The building also contains La Galerie de la Belle au Bois Dormant, a gallery of displays which illustrate the story of Sleeping Beauty in tapestries, stained glass windows and figures. La Boutique du Château, a shop selling Christmas ornaments year-round, and Merlin l'Enchanteur, a shop specialising in handmade glass figures, are located on ground floor.

Skeleton art of the dead.
.
There are no complete skeletons to be seen, but the bones and the heads that form the outer wall of the further bones that are piled up. Often patterns of skulls and bones are formed in these walls of bones. Sometimes a bit bizarre like the skulls that form a heart in a pile of bones.

Catacombes de Paris - Tour
The Catacombs of Paris is the largest collection of underground cemeteries in the world, containing the bones of approximately six million Parisians in underground burial chambers and galleries.
Underground in Paris is a nearly 300 km long network of quarry tunnels used for the building blocks of many Parisian buildings and monuments such as Notre Dame. Because the Parisian cemeteries were overcrowded and very unclean, it was decided to close the cemeteries and move the bones to the underground passages.
It would take two years to empty the majority of Paris's cemeteries. Beginning from an opening ceremony on 7 April 1785 with nightly processions of black cloth-covered wagons carrying the millions of Parisian dead. The property itself was transformed into a sort of museum for all the headstones, sculptures and other artifacts recuperated from the former cemetery. The human remains were dumped into empty chambers and covered with a neatly stacked wall of skulls and bones. Plaques indicate which cemetery the bones come from. Until well into the 19th century, the Catacombs of Paris remained in use for the storage of bones.
Today, about half a million visit a 1.7 km section of the tunnels. It is a former quarry from the 15th century containing the graves of up to the 18th century. After a descent of 25 meters of stairs, a walk takes the visitor past one of the catacombs where the stacked bones and skulls lie, arranged by cemetery where the bones come from and the year they were deposited in the catacombs or by events in the Parisian history.

Fortifications - during the time of the United Provinces Hellevoetsluis was the naval port of the Admiralty of de Maze (Rotterdam) and could accommodate an entire fleet within a special land-enclosed fortress with harbour and dockyard facilities, accessible through a canal. Thanks to its strategic situation the town grew from the beginning of the 17th century to be the homeport for the Dutch war fleet. In later years the port was fortified more and more and Hellevoetsluis therefore became a unique combination of fortified town and naval port.
The Admirals Maarten Tromp, Michiel de Ruyter and Piet Heyn had their home base here and in 1688 during the Glorious Revolution William III of Orange's invasion fleet departed from the port.

Ancient Greek Pithoi Mannerists designs.
.
Ancient Greek pottery designs on a huge ancient Greek vase, it has the shape of a Pithoi intended for huge amounts of storage. The designs are completely appropriate in the humor that we see more in the Asterix comic books. Clear attention has been paid to the design, which has been artfully rendered in a funny form. These drawings are really great fun.
The designs on the Greek Pithoi shaped vases are called Mannerists (Greek vase painting), often depict scenes from well known Greek stories about their gods and goddesses, heroes, battles and even athletes. Many also included animals like horses, sea creatures like dolphins, or even mythological monsters.
