After seeing the towers of the Notre Dame, my partner and I headed straight for the Crypte Archeologique. We had Paris Museum Passes so didn't have to pay or queue, although there was no queue anyway. I believe there were some information cards available in English (or Spanish?) which we didn't pick up but this would have been helpful as... More

Very little information in English, although a few minutes inside you will find boards with English translations. I ended up translating most of the signs for my friend. It was interesting to see the ruins - worth the visit. We stopped in after seeing Notre Dame, since it's in the same square (out front of Notre Dame). More

I expected more from this place. Confusing entrance, staff not friendly, and no English translations anywhere. Skip it unless you spend over a week in Paris and have seen the major sites More

So simple and with a ticket. Really i didnt like it so much .... More
