Database: Philibert Aspairt

The legend goes that in 1793, Philibert Aspairt entered the Paris catacombs in an attempt to map them. He never came out. His body was supposedly found 11 years later, though his existence has never been officially confirmed. All that remains is a tomb in the Paris catacombs that says: "In the memory of Philibert Aspairt, lost in this quarry on November 3rd 1793, found eleven years later and buried at the same place April 30th 1804."
