Are the Paris Catacombs currently open for visiting?

It depends what you are talking about.

The “Ossuaire Municipal” where bones from thousands of people are stored just reopened according to their Facebook page.
The official site is still saying it is closed but official stuff in France tend to be a tad slow.

Parisian people also use the word Catacombes for the whole network of former quarries and other tunnels under Paris (280 km).
This is closed to the public, except for the said Ossuaire.

As a matter of fact, they just have been reopened. The Musée Carnavalet, the museum in charge of the catacombs, announced on their Facebook page one hour ago:

Bonne nouvelle !

Les Catacombes sont de nouveau ouvertes au public. Nous vous souhaitons un agréable après-midi

Which translates to: “Good news! The catacombs are now again open to the public. We wish you a good afternoon.”
