Parisian Tourist Spot Becomes Hotspot for Porn Shoots


Catacombs porn

YNOT EUROPE – The Catacombs of Paris have long been a popular tourist destination, but recently they’ve become popular with another type of visitor: adult content producers.

Photographers, filmmakers, models and actors reportedly are caught daily filming porn among the six million human skeletons that reside in the Catacombs. The artsy backdrop makes an avant garde set, although the Musée Carnavalet, which manages the historic underground caves, routinely rejects requests to film on the premises. Because adult films can’t be filmed on the premises with permission, porn stars disguise themselves as tourists to get past the guards and enter the caves for filming.

A regular tourist to the caves told Le Parisien, “These sly people pass themselves off as tourists, hiding all their equipment, like cameras, in bags. Then as soon as they get downstairs, the girls strip off, the crew films without any fuss, and they leave, unseen and unnoticed.”

Unable to stop the unwanted visitors in any other way, officials at the Musée Carnavalet created a Catacombs police team to deal with the problem — which they barely admit exists.

“From time to time visitors escape the vigilance of our officers and take unauthorized photos,” a Musée Carnavalet spokesman told The Local. “They are an exception.”

American Photographer Miru Kim used the underground tunnels as a backdrop for her 2008 series Naked City Spleen, comprising nude self-portraits. For one shot, she lay naked on her back atop a pile of bones. The photo was taken in a chamber that is off limits to the public.

The Catacombs aren’t the only Paris landmark to suffer unauthorized use by erotica entrepreneurs. Other tunnels beneath the French capital also are showing up in adult photos and films.
