Inngangene til Katakombene i Paris - hvor mange er det?

Hva du kan forvente ved inngangen

• Køsystem: På grunn av den begrensede kapasiteten på 200 personer inne i Katakombene om gangen, er det vanlig med lange køer, spesielt i rushtidene.
  
• Sikkerhetskontroller: Alle besøkende må gjennom en veskekontroll før de kommer inn. Store vesker og kofferter er ikke tillatt, siden det ikke er noen garderobe.
  
• Tilgjengelighet: Inngangen innebærer å gå ned en spiraltrapp uten heistilgang, noe som gjør den uegnet for rullestolbrukere eller personer med bevegelsesvansker.

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.
