Due to growing complaints that cemeteries were becoming a source of epidemics, a decision was made on November 9, 1785, to evacuate burial sites where the dead had been laid to rest for centuries across many parts of Paris. The first cemetery to be evacuated was the Cimetière des Innocents, or Innocents Cemetery, in what can now be described as the western side of the Forum des Halles, located between the present-day Châtelet and Châtelet-Les Halles. The bones excavated from the Innocents Cemetery were moved one by one to the quarries located under Denfert-Rochereau today.
