Came here 6 years ago and one of the reasons I wanted to return was to show our youngest the Wishing Tree (which on our last visit was adorned with literally hundreds of colourful pieces of material, ribbons, handkerchiefs, notes and tokens) so was rather disappointed to see it had been cut right back and just a few straggly pieces of cloth plus a couple of dirty masks were dangled on it. Nevertheless we went down into the catacombs – only one small room was open (I remember there being more) but it was filled with pictures, ribbons and dried flowers and we lit a candle. We then wandered around the grounds (there were a few groups of teenagers hanging around which was a shame). This is open (ie no gates) and is free and there is not a lot to see – but if you are passing it’s worth just stopping for about 15 minutes.

Since I wandered around the various rooms in 2010, a rust coloured walkway has been erected. Opened in 2022. Remarkable to see where some people had to reside almost 2,000 yrs ago. Date of travel required is misleading as can only select a month in 2022.

very interesting catacombs and a beautiful giant terebinth (wishing tree) at the entrance. No fee to enter, nut last time I visited some of the sections were locked. It needs a sign outside to explain what it is we are visiting
