Foarte interesant să vezi o parte a Parisului care nu este atât de bine mediatizată. Desfășurat cu respect și un spațiu imens. Nu uitați să ridicați ghidul audio înainte de a coborî treptele.

Am fost foarte recunoscător pentru informațiile înregistrate pe care le-am putut asculta în timp ce călătoream prin catacombe. Mi-am plimbat familia - 54, 49, 22, 16 și 16. TOȚI am învățat câte ceva despre acest important loc subteran.

Ușurința intrării pentru ambele experiențe a fost excelentă. Turul ghidat în catacombe a fost foarte educativ. Priveliștile de pe turul River au fost perfecte și a fost o lungime bună.

În ciuda scepticismului cu privire la posibilitatea de a obține biletele la timp, totul a funcționat și biletele au fost pe e-mail-ul meu în dimineața. Catacombele mega impresionante și plimbarea pe Sena relaxantă.

Acesta a fost un mod minunat de a vedea catacombele! Ghidul nostru a fost minunat și chiar dacă am fost un pic mai târziu, ea a făcut-o atât de ușor pentru noi să ne dăm seama! Chiar dacă este cu un grup de 14 sau cam așa ceva, cu siguranță sa simțit intim. Am ajuns să vedem unele locuri speciale fără acces la public, ceea ce a fost super cool. Dacă vă place istoria sau doriți să aflați despre unicitatea Parisului, aceasta este o necesitate! Foarte recomandat - wouldnt face orice alt mod!

Am vizitat catacombele din Paris cu ghidul Jonny în Ajunul Crăciunului. El a fost atât de distractiv să vorbească cu și ne-a dat informații într-un mod care a făcut-o atât de foarte interesant și ușor de urmat în ciuda oboselii noastre de la zbor în Franța în acea dimineață.

Highlights of a Paris Catacomb guided tour

Access to restricted areas

Guided tours unlock secret sections of the Catacombs which are not accessible on general visits. These include the Sacellum Crypt, featuring rare bone arrangements and inscriptions, and the Port-Mahon corridor, where François Décure’s sculptures can be admired up close, hidden altars and ossuary chambers.

Port-Mahon corridor

This corridor displays sculptures by François Décure, a quarryman who carved a replica of the Port-Mahon fortress entirely from memory. He spent five years, in secrecy, carving out these sculptures using simple quarrymen tools and working under torchlight. He was crushed in a cave-in at the same spot while carving a stairway to access his sculptures, from the streets above.

The quarryman’s footpath

Reminiscent of a wishing well, quarrymen used this walkway to access water for cement mixing and to wash up after work. The pathway leads to one of the most interesting sections of the Catacombs, filled with skull displays, inscriptions, graves, and chapels commemorating the dead.

The Ossuary

This section comes right after the exhibition area and is one of the interesting sections of the Catacombs. It contains the bones of over 6 million Parisians, arranged in various patterns, the most popular being–the Barrel of Passion. A welcome sign at the entrance prepares you for the ossuary–Arrête! C’est ici l’empire de la Mort which translates to “Stop! This is the Empire of the Dead”.
