Indgange til katakomberne i Paris - hvor mange er der?

Hvad du kan forvente ved indgangen

• Køsystem: På grund af den begrænsede kapacitet på 200 personer i katakomberne ad gangen er det almindeligt med lange køer, især i travle tidspunkter.
  
• Sikkerhedskontrol: Alle besøgende skal igennem et check af tasker, før de kommer ind. Store tasker og kufferter er ikke tilladt, da der ikke er nogen garderobe.
  
• Tilgængelighed: Indgangen indebærer at gå ned ad en spiraltrappe uden adgang til elevator, hvilket gør den uegnet for kørestolsbrugere eller personer med bevægelseshandicap.

Secret & hidden entrances to the Catacombs

While the official entrance is the only legal way to access the Paris Catacombs, there are several secret and hidden entrances scattered throughout the city. These are often remnants of the extensive underground tunnel network beneath Paris, which includes abandoned quarries and lesser-known passageways. Here are some key details:

• Accessing the Catacombs through illegal entrances is both dangerous and prohibited by French law. These unauthorized entry points are often used by "cataphiles" (urban explorers), but venturing through them can lead to severe fines or legal consequences.
  
• Some hidden entrances have been romanticized in films (As Above, So Below ) and literature (Catacombs of Paris by Gilles Thomas), adding to the Catacombs’ mysterious allure. However, they are not accessible to the public.
  
• If you’re curious about these secretive spots, consider guided tours or documentaries that delve into the hidden history of the Catacombs without breaking the law.
