Very interesting and Macabre experience. Though the staff weren't all that friendly or helpful or cheerful come to that. But the Catacombs were very well set up and it was astonishing to see so many dead people's bones on display.

Ticketing experience with headout was smooth and easy. Just there was still waiting in line even with timed-tickets and it was raining so hard on the day of our visit which made the waiting in line worse. But the experience inside was great, except with an encounter of a creepy man who wore an ID who took pictures of us inside.

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.

Plug in your audio guide and let your journey begin down a one-way narrow passageway that is lined with the bones and skulls of over six million Parisians. The slow walk through these passages will take you back in time, sharing gripping stories of its history, architecture, significance, and so much more. Complete the circuit in an hour and ascend 112 steps to re-enter light and life, above ground.
