Paris is known as the city of love, but despite its myriad of romantic attractions, one spot in particular is proving to be a magnet for erotically-charged artistic types, and it's a world away from the Jardin du Luxembourg or even Pigalle.

The catacombs underneath the French capital have long been a popular tourist destination but authorities in Paris are having to battle an unwanted group of visitors wandering through the underground tunnels.

Nude models, photographers and erotic film-makers have been joining the six million skeletons hidden around the city's famous underground chambers, much to the chagrin of those in charge of the catacombs.

“We receive at least one request (for permission to film or take photos) every week,” a spokesman for the Musée Carnavalet, which manages the catacombs, told French daily Le Parisien on Monday.
