Yesterday I went through the Paris Catacombs. While there is most likely more than one catacomb in paris, this is the main underground burial chamber. There was a somewhat short line to get in which took about 1/2 hour to get through only. The entrance fee was minimal and was only 3.5 €.
It was brought to my attention also that the end of the animated Disney movie, Hunchback of Notre Dame took place there.
The most surprising thing about the catacombs how you were able to walk close to and right next to the bones. This would have been on awesome adventure to take as a young kid. It also would have been a good length for a kid as it took about 45 minutes to get through.
There is virtually no chance of getting lost in the catacombs now days, because the path through is gated off at points where path diverge, the walk through is a strict one way walk.
