LONG LINES!!

I guess I should have read the reviews before I left. On a whim I decided to check it out and arrived about an hour after the tour began. I waited in line for approximately 2 hours- yes I did. But oh...

Holiday warning

In all the literature we read we didn't see that the catacombs are closed on holidays- bank holidays to be precise. It was the day of Ascension, and sure enough, we were amazed that there were no...

We showed up and got in line for tickets about 30 minutes before they opened, and I'm glad we did, because the line was getting very long by the time we went in. Be prepared for some stairs going...

An Experience You Won't Soon Forget

A Very Unique Experience.
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 4 of 5 stars
The tunnels themselves are interesting enough but there is much information about there original uses as quarries and such. Then there are the bones, very creepy but interesting. A must see in Paris.
