Description

Paris is commonly known for its beauty and romance. However, far beneath the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre is an entirely different, intimidating world.
In the Catacombs of Paris there is an inscription above a doorway that reads: Beware of the Realm of Death. This is a suitable warning to prepare you for a memorable, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Access to the Catacombs is extremely limited as only 200 people are allowed to enter the site at a time.
Consequently, lines can be very long and waits can be up to 2 hours. Privileged, skip-the-line access lets you save time and energy to make the most out of this personalized visit.
Nearly 300 kilometers of tunnels and narrow paths stretch below the streets of Paris. Originally, the Catacombs were limestone quarries, hollowed out for the construction of the most famous bridges and buildings in the city.
Beginning in the 18th century, the Catacombs served as the final resting place for more than 6 million people, and skeletons, bones, and skulls of exhumed bodies neatly line the walls and arches.
Join this exclusive small-group, skip-the-line tour and see Paris in a different light than ever before.

Good to know before you go
  • Given the nature of the Catacombs, the space is often wet, dirty, and a little slippery. It is also a cool 14 degrees Centigrade year-round. Be sure to dress appropriately
  • The activity provider will do everything possible to ensure timings and itineraries are respected; however, due to issues beyond their control, timings and sites are subject to last-minute changes on rare occasions
  • Please be aware that some locations may be unavoidably busy during standard opening hours
