The catacombs in Paris?

Question

Have any of you guys been to them? I've always wanted to go, but the few times I've been to Paris, I haven't been able to go for one reason or another. What are they like?

Answer 1

I've been. It's interesting, really dark and lots of bones neatly stacked on top of each other.

Answer 2

I've been there and found it very interesting. I've never seen so many bones and skulls in my whole life.

Answer 3

The catacombs are fascinating and creepy.  The are dimly lit by single lightbulbs every few feet.

The bones lining the walls are several hundred years old, and are so neatly stacked, its evident that someone took great care of them.  

One added benefit, they put you out somewhere in Paris, and you have to figure out where you are - it's a testament to the over 1000 miles of catacombs which circle under the city since the Romans.

Answer 4

Yes, I went there twice. I enjoyed it, although I found it scary to be underground. If you are claustrophobic, it might not be a good idea, but it is very well kept (the parts you see anyway), full of bones and skeletons!!

Answer 5

never been
