Address: 1 av Colonel Henri Roi-Tanguy, 14e
Ticket Price: adult/child €13/free, online booking including audioguide €29/5
Metro/RER: Denfert Rochereau
In 1785 it was decided to rectify the hygiene problems of Paris’ overflowing cemeteries by exhuming the bones and storing them in disused quarry tunnels; the Catacombes were created in 1810.
The route through Les Catacombes begins at a small, dark-green belle époque building in the centre of a grassy area of av Colonel Henri Roi-Tanguy, adjacent to place Denfert Rochereau. After descending 20m below street level (via 130 narrow, dizzying spiral steps), you follow the dark, subterranean passages to reach the ossuary itself, with a mind-boggling number of bones and skulls of millions of Parisians neatly packed along the walls.
The exit is via a minimalist all-white ‘transition space’ with a gift shop onto 21bis av René Coty, 14e. Bag searches are carried out to prevent visitors ‘souveniring’ bones.
Visiting
A maximum of 200 people are allowed in the tunnels at a time and queues can be huge – when the queue extends beyond a 20-minute wait, you’ll be handed a coupon with a return entry time later that day. Last entry is at 7.30pm. Online bookings are pricier but include an audioguide and guarantee a timeslot, whereas standing in the queue does not, as online ticket holders have priority.
Renting an audioguide greatly enhances the experience.
Bear in mind that the catacombes are not suitable for young children. Also be aware the only toilets are by the exit, flash photography isn’t permitted and the temperature is a cool 14°C below ground.

地铁 / RER：Denfert Rochereau
1785年决定通过挖掘骨头并将其存放在废弃的采石场隧道中来纠正巴黎溢出的墓地的卫生问题;地下墓穴创建于1810年。
通过Les Catacombes的路线始于一个小型的，深绿色的美好时代的建筑，位于中校Henri Roi-Tanguy的草地区中心，毗邻Denfert Rochereau。在街道以下二十米处下降（通过一百三十个狭窄，令人眼花缭乱的螺旋台阶）后，您沿着黑暗的地下通道到达骨库本身，数百万巴黎人的骨头和头骨整齐地堆积在墙壁上。
出口是通过一个极简主义的全白“过渡空间”，礼品店到21 bis av René Coty，14e。进行行李搜索是为了防止游客的“纪念”骨头。
参观
隧道中一次最多允许两百人，队列可能很大 - 当队列超过二十分钟等待时，您将获得一张优惠券，并在当天晚些时候返回。最后入场时间是晚上7:30。在线预订价格较高，但包括一个音频输出并保证一个时间段，而排队等候则没有，因为在线持票人优先考虑。
租用一个语音导管大大增强了体验。
请记住，地下墓穴不适合幼儿。另外请注意，出口处只有卫生间，不允许进行闪光摄影，温度低于地面14°C。
