Filmed in January 2021 with Iphone 12 Pro.
The Parc Montsouris covers 15 hectares and is built on top of a labyrinth of former gypsum quarries from the Montrouge mines.
These quarries were made into catacombs at the end of the 18th century and filled with 5-6 million bones from discontinued cemeteries of Paris.
The name of the park is derived from the old name of the area “Moquesouris” translated as “mock mouse”. It was a place of mills which generally attract mice. Later, these mills were abandoned.
The area is also the place of the 13th century legend of the giant Isoire being slain by Guillaume d’Aquitaines.
