Description

Go below the city streets of Paris to explore the darkest part of the City of Light — the Catacombs. You'll go where other tourists don't have access and learn who's buried in these 200 miles of tunnels.

Explore the underground burial chambers for millions of Parisians who found their way to the Catacombs due to overcrowded cemeteries. You'll walk through corridors piled with bones, carefully and often artistically arranged, preserved for centuries in the ossuaries.

Not only will your expert guide share strange legends about this subterranean underworld, but they'll also give you tips on how to find unique bone configurations and even art. The Paris Catacombs might be macabre and a little bit creepy, but it's an experience you're sure to always remember. Don't forget to end your tour by picking up a souvenir in the Paris Catacombs shop!
