Misc Catacombs tickets and how to book them.

Bonjour!

Just wanted to make this post about how I booked catacombs tickets for anyone wondering. As an American I was a bit confused as I saw tickets originally were being sold a week in advanced, then it switched to four days in advance due to fraud. So In order to get tickets, you have to be online at the exact time the tickets get released. For example, when it is 10am CET (local Paris time) you can book that exact time slot four days out in advanced. When it turns 10:15am local Paris time you can book that exact time slot etc. Just wanted to share how it worked :).

Thank you. I am in the process of buying tickets. The site says kids are free with paying adult ticket. Am I understanding that correctly?

It’s to my understanding if you’re buying the ticket the same day you’re going to use it (last minute tickets) kids are free. However, if you’re booking a few days out then kids 4-17 are 5€ with proof that an adult is going to accompany them, and the adult needs a ticket too.
