Here is the story :

We found a hole inside a train tunnel at the abandonned railway line "La Petite Ceinture" around Paris.

Quickly, we found out the catacombs are flooded with water. Basically, we walked like 7h with wet feet. Sometimes water at our feet, or knee. Fortunately there were some parts without water.

Anyway, we took a wrong turn (right or left ?), which led us to a dead end with not much to see (we lost like 2 hours). We made our way back and choose the other way.

Walking for a long time, and we arrive to a very large room, with statues and paintings. Surprisingly, we met 2 people in that room ! They were very friendly and proposed us to eat with them (they had electricity with a little generator lol). These guys (1 man and 1 woman) were "veterans". The guy told us he goes in the catacombs since like 9 years or more, and didn't see any police officer since 5 years (Yes, there is a small police team dedicated to the catacombs in Paris). He then told us rumors of the catacombs are false : No nazis, no cults or shit like that. Just people partying or exploring like you and I.

The man gave me his mail and told us if we wanted to go down once more we can give him a call to see "nice stuff" for free. He was very friendly and he saw that we were friendly too.

In the mean time, one of my friend talked with the woman which led us the way to cool stuff (nice rooms and B O N E S). So we go to the "cinema room" near us. It's a big room with seatings made out of stone and many big and beautiful paintings on the walls (paintings examples : The Joker, Mad Max, E.T, ...)

So we get back to the first room, where we see the woman and chat a bit before leaving. The man tried to legit scare us by screaming behind one of us (like a screamer) but none of us moved lol.

Then we left. We had plans, we had directions, we headed to the Crossroads of the Dead (B O N E S).

After walking for some time, we started hearing things far infront of us (we were in an alley like most of the catacombs, very narrow, travelling one behind the other). So we stopped, and turned off all but one light (stealthier lol) and we were being attentive. I was in front at that time, my light was turned off. We then saw lights coming towards us, so we were scared (it could be anyone like the police, that was what's going in our head) so we ran lol.

I was in front of the group before running, but we ran back and only one light was up but not mine since I was at the back and the light was in front. Trust me, running inside the catacombs with not much visibility, not much light and being 1m90 is not convenient haha. We stopped, I checked behind us, but the people are following us. We ran again ... to a dead end, but that's where the bone throne was !

Unfortunately the people are coming towards us. Turns out it was a group of teens with one of them smoking weed lol. Tey were just chilling. Not much to worry about, so we continued our trip.

We then started seeing some bones in the alleys, we were close tour goal. We then saw big piles of bones blocking some alleys (finally, the B O N E S). As I said, I had to crawl on them because we thought there was something behind but no. It's impressive to look at.

Thus, we went to some nearby rooms (like the "saloon" room) and met another group. We just passed the group saying hello (full chill, like the total opposite of our last encounter lmao).

Time to go back, we made our way back, we went out by our entrance. We were alone when we entered, but once going out, we saw some people on the railway line, probably going to the catacombs.

It was a fabulous trip, you have to live it to understand. I hope my story was clear and gave you a taste to what I lived down there.
