- In the late 18th century, Paris decided it had a problem with its cemeteries, namely that they were full, if not overflowing.

- Musée du Louvre - This enormous building, constructed around 1200 as a fortress and rebuilt in the mid-16th century for use as a royal palace, began its career as a public museum in 1793.
