Next stop ROME. The pictures and videos of the Catacombs under Rome are a lot narrower and tighter. From say age 12 or so I remember being told stories of people going missing in The Catacombs, usually during Channel 11 horror movies.
I had been told they were under Rome. It is only as an adult that I learned there are some in Paris and possibly other places where similar conditions existed.
