They renovated a Paris supermarket and found 316 medieval bodies underneath. 🥖

They renovated a Paris supermarket and found 316 medieval bodies underneath. 🥖 . . . In January 2015, workers expanding a Monoprix on Rue Réaumur broke through the basement floor and hit bone. Below the frozen-food aisle: eight mass graves, 316 skeletons stacked in rows, dating to the 14th-century Hôpital de la Trinité. Shoppers walked over them for 40 years.
