Where can I find an inventory of the inscriptions inside the Catacombs of Paris?

Question

There are numerous placks with quotes and sayings mounted throughout the Catacombs in Paris, some by famous people, others annonymous. It's very dark down there and some of them are hard to read. I recently visited the catacombs and would like to recall some of the words I saw there. Perhaps there is a list available somehwere?

If it is possible to find this on the web, it would be at this website, which is the best bilingual site regarding the catacombs in the cyber world.

My husband informs me that there is a great book out but it is in French, so I'm pretty sure it will not be very useful. Let me know though and I can dig it up for you.. no punt intended.
