underneath paris is a whole new world how deep is this it's just dead people
all right so we just got into paris uh we had to take the roof box off because it wouldn't even fit down here um yeah we're just getting all our stuff and get to the hotel and we're gonna plan from there well we got the smoke bombs out right now we'll talk about everything when we get in the hotel
all right are you guys ready get ready we're gearing up what are you so what are you bringing all right so we got the headlamps the camera gear uh you got oh dance can you tell us about the grenades and why do we need uh these smoke grenades okay so the small grenades they play a crucial part and if anything does go wrong down then we need to get away so as you may be aware people do live down though they're called the car files now they do not like people down there especially those with cameras anyone
taking video of all tools they can get very aggressive uh as i have seen before now the smoke grenades act as a bit of a camouflage for us so if they do start kicking off we can start running while pulling the grenades we run down the tunnels with the small grenade causing a smoke screen between us and the car files therefore getting away safely all right so we have four grenades one for each of us there's four of us here obviously but we're meeting up with some people that we actually don't even know
i was referred a uh tour guide for down there there's no official tour guys there's no laws down there there's anything goes there's no rules um it could be dangerous people do get mugged they do get their stuff stolen um and i got this random guide from somewhat of a cool friend that i kind of met but didn't meet so i don't really know but he referred me to this guy and he goes down there a lot now i've been to the catacombs five years ago underneath these grounds that we're
walking on holds over six million bodies bones everything they're all down there and it all started back in 1738 paris made tunnels mining tunnels eventually the cemeteries got so overflown they had no place to put the body so they put them inside reinforced tunnels there are new rooms there's rooms that i've never seen there's even a throne of skulls there which you might have seen in other people's channels but there's other rooms that no one has shown i'm trying to find these rooms we're all
trying to find these rooms underneath paris is a whole new world and we're trying to get in there and you have to gear up and you have to wear the right stuff you need the gloves the powerades for the energy um the boots just in case you if you twist your ankle down there you're in big trouble and to top it off you need headlamps lights food everything is geared up but the last
thing you do need to bring is an id which is in my hand now the reason why you need an id is because actually police do go down there now and they do checkpoints they don't really kick people out but they can if you don't have an id you're getting kicked out right away they write your names down and they can find you or bring you to the police station it's getting a lot stricter down there people getting a lot more violent down there and we don't know what's gonna happen today for the headlamp i made sure i would not run out of batteries i got
extra batteries i got some for seth as well i even got some coffee i might need energy down there we don't know how long we're gonna be down there so we also brought some food um we don't know we can get lost there's anything anything can happen i even got two beers because the guy our guide he actually the guide it's our guide actually said for payment all he wants is ten beers so it could be sketchy i mean we do this for a living we're always exploring we're always paying our
way into different places if we have to this is definitely one for the books and only the locals here mainly know about these secret rooms i mean there's even like a nazi room that's secret that they that the cops and the certain task force down below found it because the task force this certain group of cops work with the cataphiles the people down there and they made a group agreement down there where they're not going to bother them they're not going to bother each other and if something happens they can report to them it's weird that
underneath this entire place is full of 9 million dead bodies it's beautiful out here you wouldn't even expect it all right just an update we just got to the meeting point and um we just met them they're really cool only one of them wants to be on camera um i have to blur their faces throughout this entire video and i mean it's going to be awesome it's going to be amazing they're they seem cool so far they're showing us all the rooms and stuff that we're gonna go into um they're just saying how the people
down there don't want to see our cameras and how people like us like youtubers are not welcome down there so we have to do our best there's rooms down there that's never been documented in any youtube video that we want to see one of them just got destroyed yesterday because the person who built it got into a fight with four other people and they smashed the whole room and it was amazing so we lost one room already but there's many rooms down there and we have a long walk to get there the thing is there are entry points all around
paris that are hidden some are even in bars and restaurants one right one entryway could even be literally under here it's crazy it's a whole underworld out there there's our meeting point right there literally it's like so suspicious like they're everyone hanging out and then we're all just hiding under there the guy will the guy will talk he's a little i don't know maybe shy in terms of like speaking he says his english is kind of bad but he says when we get down there he doesn't care he'll talk to us and stuff i'll feed you guys whatever information he says and we're gonna go
and we're gonna film this this is a document video i'm showing you this a lot of the stuff you're gonna see might not be on any youtube videos or maybe they are i don't know i didn't do my research so we're going to see oh josh he's nice man yeah me too it's nice to meet you so i'm just walking back here because i just got more information two of the
people we are with are building rooms down there and they built their own room to hang out in and at the end of this whole explorer they're gonna take us to their room that they built i'm telling you it's a crazy city under there
so i make uh youtube videos on abandoned places we're all waiting for something over here i don't know what maybe there's a drop here i don't know bro what the hell dude i don't even know what the heck's going on i am so freaked out
this is crazy dude what is this that is a baby hole can i even fit in there oh my god i don't know i will try i don't know i'm kind of scared of heights no no i'm kind of claustrophobic but i don't know we're so scared we don't even know where we are right now i'm saying heights and i'm like dude my heart's beating fast this is crazy we're with what i'm assuming is a solid group though so i'm very happy if i look into the light it blinds you guys so i have
to kind of like look up like this and i think it's okay we're trying to document everything we don't have a camera microphone on because if anyone sees that on our thing they're gonna know we're filming and they're gonna smash our cameras what the [ __ ] that's a small hole okay here we go you can do it bro i'm gonna
draw yeah all right so we made it through the hole and now we're all here are we going through another hole oh getting ready okay and then down here there's another way and god knows where that leads you remember there is 200
miles of tunnels so anything could happen so just so you guys know if you're hearing any music that is to let the cataphiles know that we're not the police as we go through here because if they hear a bunch of people coming and there's no music oh they're gonna assume that we're the they're the police we're the police they're gonna run or do some crazy stuff true story wow look at this 1790 1790 yep damn

yeah this these tunnels have been here since again the 13th century and at first they were here for uh limestone quarries they were mining everything here they would come down fetch their limestones and would build paris can you see how this uh thing we're walking through this tunnel look is in and it's shaped as a coffin ain't that a bit weird
