About

Your Paris Catacombs Adventure

Discover the Underground World Beneath Paris

Venture below the surface of Paris on a guided tour of the city’s legendary Catacombs. Originally mined as limestone quarries, these tunnels have become the resting place for six million Parisians, with bones and skulls intricately arranged along dim walkways.

Expert Guided Tour for a Richer Experience

Join an English-speaking guide for an atmospheric journey through 1.5 kilometres of passageways. Your guide will share the history behind this unique ossuary, revealing stories of its origins, the transformation into a burial ground and the fascinating characters linked to its past. Delve into the myths, legends and cultural impact the Catacombs have had on Paris over the centuries for a deeper understanding of the city’s hidden side.

Go Beyond Public Areas with Special Access

These rarely-visited spaces include significant burial sites and areas rich in historical detail, such as the final resting places of notable figures like Lavoisier and Robespierre. Explore corridors lined with centuries-old bones, where your guide brings history to life with engaging anecdotes and answers your questions along the way.

Enjoy an Intimate Small Group Setting

This tour is designed for a maximum of 19 participants, ensuring individual attention from your guide. Smaller groups allow for easier movement within the compact tunnels and more opportunities to discuss what you’re discovering.
