Paris Catacombs Map

[Bratchley]

Hey all,
Does anyone have a more up to date map of the Parisian Catacombs than my English 2007 Nexus (also available here), or even an English variant of my French 2011 Nexus, map? Would be keen to have it in my possession - the 2011 Nexus/Cube English maps from the old Explographie sites have become quite hard to find.

Thanks!

Can you share the French 2011 Nexus map please Josh? I've only ever had the 2007 version. Has much changed?

The French 2011 one I have is currently only available in a different format (dubbed 'Alkhemia'). I've attached it here. The one I am looking for (the latest version of a Cata map I have seen) is the 2011 International Nexus version (quite different to the Alkhemia in shading and detail, and of course, in English). It used to be available on www.exploration.urban.free.fr but embedded with flash here. The flash is obviously defunct now and decompiling the swf shows that the contained image was external. It can still be viewed (via Ruffle) using the Wayback Machine but the file itself remains elusive.

EDIT: compression killed the attachment in the above post so I removed it - message on FB/WhatsApp/Email etc and I'll send it over).

I'll give 28DL a go but it's a fairly quiet community on there. Cheers!

Link appears to be broken, wormstar, I guess they deleted it?

Original map is cool btw, wish I had an A3 printer to print it out and stick it on my wall.

I can also tell you an access point.

I've looked around and can only find 2007 versions, they do change but not that often. The one in previous comment is 2011 version, the last year nexus made the map public and sadly in French only. I will give them a looking at to see if there are differences. If you can't find anyone on 28Days, then try CKZone.

Was only chatting to someone earlier this week who'd just got back from Paris having a 2 day and night party weekend underground. I really need to get down there sometime myself!

If you've not been before, I highly recommend it. I was part of TalkUrbex in it's early years but I went over to CKZone and met up with a few locals. The hardcore Cataphiles don't like 'tourists' but the general populous are very welcoming.

Don't forget to shove your finger up through a manhole!

No need, There's one entrance that will always be open. It's the less risky way in. One you're in the tunnels its fine it's just going along the railway line that's a bit risky, In the UK trespassing is a civil offence, in Europe it's a little different.

Not civil in the UK, if railways.

"Trespassing on the railways" is a criminal offence in UK. As a rule of thumb BTP (British Transport Police) will obtain a search warrant for people's homes if caught trespassing whether relevant to the trespass or not as a punishment (e.g. ransack your family home on the pretence of looking for railway property), so I advise great caution in UK. No idea about France though.

Good to know, good job the Catacombs in question are in France. The Catafliks will just search and issue a fine. Although the catacombs are consecrated how you get there is the issue over there. I have also hear of various access point through the metro tunnels but it's very dangerous and I would prefer not to go that route as the the other is so easy.

I imagine it would be quite a stiff penalty?
