Great experience; very interesting history. Booking via headout was so practicle. However at the entrance there was some difficulty with voucher. The receptionists at the entrance do not easily accept the voucher ; they insist on ticket pdf and unfortunately they are not acting visitor friendly. So be sure that you have pdf tickets with you

The booking was easy and fast. I had no problem to access the Catacombs at the chosen time. The only bad thing is that the tickets were more expensive than on the official website, but it saved me, because the official website was out of tickets.

Punctual, it does not generate the feeling of claustrophobia, nor is it as icy as I thought. The ride is quiet, well marked and interesting. The ascent is not terrible despite being several meters underground.

Very interesting to hear the story of what happened in Paris, to see all the corpses through the galleries and at the exit the big hole through which they entered.

After descending 130 steps, you’ll land on a gravel pathway. From here, allow your audio guide, available in English, German, Spanish, and French, to lead you through a one-way, 2km stretch of the mysterious ossuary. Explore the ancient past of Paris as you make your way along a maze of walls lined with skulls and bones. Learn all about how the Catacombs came to be and discover the role they’ve played on the city’s past and present. Hear urban legends, ghost stories, and tales about secret Cataphile parties. At the end of your tour, climb up 83 steps and make your way out of the dark, back to The City of Lights.
