Line at the catacombs

Hi lele2,

we are going in may too,may 2 to may 16 and will like to go to the catacombs too,I will like to ask a question to the experts.

The last time I was in Paris we made the line for about 1 hour or more and then where told they were not taking anyone anymore.

My question is at what time you should go there so you dont waste your precious time in Paris.

thank you

Hi enjoytravell00

thats great aren%26#39;t you excited? I can%26#39;t wait I am going to Rome and Paris,

Thats a great question I would like to know the answer also

An hour wait? Wow.

Remember, they do not take the Museum Pass.

We went in August, we just walked right in,,, guess there are some advantages to going in the summer after all.

I guess the simple answer is , go on website, find out what time it opens, arrive 10-15 minutes early. Be first in the door.

Also, don%26#39;t go first day it opens after long closing.

I think it must have been a fluke ,, your hour wait I mean, I have never heard of that before. I do know they limit how many people go down there at one time, so perhaps you got behind a bus tour or some school groups?

Ig you go in the morning you should be fine.

We went last November. The line was about 15 min. long. We went around 9:30am - It worked out well, quite an interesting experience.

Try to get there before they open or in the first hour - - - if you wait until an hour or two before closing you can get locked out. They literally cut off the line at closing time regardless of how long you have been waiting. It%26#39;s worth the wait but you can avoid it by going early.
