Given a travel related situation, and given a specific question about the situation, summarize the question into a title

[Q]: Here's my situation. I am currently in France on an internship visa (different than a business and tourist visa) which ends next month. I'm interested in doing some traveling afterwards, ideally on a 90-day Schengen tourist visa. I'm willing to hop over to a non-Schengen country (like the UK) for a couple days and then come back to get the tourist visa if necessary. 

This post seems similar to my question, except the OP is trying to get the tourist visa without leaving the Schengen area.

Is this allowed? Will the border patrol still give me the tourist visa after my internship visa expires? Will it work through the UK or should I go through another non-Schengen country? I have a USA passport.

[A]: Can I start a tourist Schengen visit after my long-term Schengen visa is over?


[Q]: My old passport was damaged by a cup of coffee, so I have to renew it. It will take around 2 weeks for the new passport to come. But I'm in a hurry to apply for a Tier 4 UK visa.

The old passport was snipped by the authority and would no longer be valid. But all my personal information including the number can be recognized. And the number will be noted on my new passport.

Can I make an application or even an appointment with my old passport number, and get to the visa center with my new passport? 

It would be very nice of you if you can answer my question.

[Q]: I'd like to see the Catacombs of Paris in September 2017. It appears that tickets can be purchased in advance from http://b12-gat.apps.paris.fr/accueil.aspx ...  is the demand such that purchasing tickets in advance is necessary if you want to see it?
