This was such a cool thing to do in Paris!! I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about the dark history there. It’s eerie but so interesting!! It’s a little tricky, but definitely try to buy your tickets online before your trip. I wrote a step by step guide on how to do this on my blog. The site is entirely in French with no option for translation so it’s really hard to navigate. Send me a message if you want more info!

It's a really unique attraction to go see. The line can be hours long, it's a total gamble whether you'll wait 15 minutes or 3 hours. People will also totally queue up in pouring rain. Not for the claustrophobic by any means.
You must do!!! The wait could be long but it is so worth it to see! My only warning is for those with children and those that struggle with walking - the climb is excessive and steep and because you are down so far, you can get quite lightheaded when you make it to the surface. For those with children, keep an eye on them. If you are found touching anything, it's a very serious offense. Otherwise, highly recommend !
A sobering walk through the biggest necropolis in the world is worth the many stairs down (and up). Hint: it's worth booking online ahead of your journey to skip the queues.
I did not know what to really expect, but I now can say that it is one of the best €9 spent in the entire tourism industry….Paris has the largest underground necropolis in the world. You can try to imagine six million skeletons in your mind without actually seeing it, but I can assure you that six million skeletons requires about eight times the space that you would mentally imagine.
