===Cemeteries===
[[File:Catacombes De Paris.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Catacombs of Paris|Paris Catacombs]] hold the remains of approximately 6 million people.]]

Paris
\' main cemetery was located to its outskirts on its [[Left Bank]] from the beginning of its history<ref>{{Ccitation needed|date=August 2008}}e web|last=Smith|first=Jacques|title=Titre|url=www.titre.fr}}</ref>, but this changed with the rise of [[Catholicism]] and the construction of churches towards the city-centre, many of them having adjoining burial grounds for use by their parishes. Generations of a growing city population soon filled these cemeteries to overflowing, creating sometimes very unsanitary conditions. 

Condemned from 1786, the contents of all Paris\' parish cemeteries were transferred to a renovated section of Paris\' then suburban stone mines outside the [[Left Bank]] \"Porte d\'Enfer\" city gate (today [[14th arrondissement of Paris|14th arrondissement]]\'s [[place Denfert-Rochereau]]). Part of this network of tunnels and remains can be visited today on the official tour of the Catacombs. After a tentative creation of several smaller suburban cemeteries, [[Napoleon I of France|Napoleon Bonaparte]] provided a more definitive solution in the creation of three massive Parisian cemeteries outside the city tax wall called the '\'\'[[Wall of the Farmers-General]]'\'\'. Open from 1804, these were the cemeteries of [[Père Lachaise Cemetery|Père Lachaise]], [[Montmartre Cemetery|Montmartre]], [[Montparnasse Cemetery|Montparnasse]], and later [[Passy Cemetery|Passy]].

When Paris annexed all communes to the inside of its much larger ring of suburban fortifications in 1860, its cemeteries were once again within its city walls. New suburban cemeteries were created in the early 20th century: The largest of these are the '\'\'Cimetière Parisien de [[Saint-Ouen, Seine-Saint-Denis|Saint-Ouen]]'\'\', the '\'\'Cimetière Parisien de [[Bobigny]]-[[Pantin]]'\'\', the '\'\'Cimetière Parisien d\'[[Ivry-sur-Seine|Ivry]]'\'\', and the '\'\'Cimetière Parisien de [[Bagneux, Hauts-de-Seine|Bagneux]]'\'\'.
