Maps of the Paris Catacombs.....

[Tancread]

That really is cool. I wonder what symbol they use for secret doors?

When I look at those maps, they make me want to run a Call of Cthulhu adventure set in them.

That really is cool. I wonder what symbol they use for secret doors?

My wife and I spent 100+ hours (2x a week for 3 months) learning the catacombs with some great guys who've been going down there for decades... none of the secret doors down there are marked, and look exactly like the surrounding walls unless you know WHERE it is supposed to be!

Further, since it is all illegal to be going down there (and dangerous if you don't have a cataphile to guide you) folks don't mark the entrances they know on their maps, since if they got busted, the police would be sure to seal those entry points.

If you find yourself in Paris, drop us a line and we might know a guy!

HoquetetL'Enchenteu, I have been searching all over the internet for as much info as possible on the catacombs as I am traveling to Paris at the end of this month with the intent of having a mooch in the catacombs! I have been urban exploring for years now but would love to get in contact with you for some advice maybe? I know I have came to this thread abit late but hopefully you will see this and could help me out?
