What you can expect

Join a local guide and explore the catacombs in a small group of no more than 19 people (6 people on select start times). See the subterranean world where some 6 million Parisians have been laid to rest with special access to the Paris Catacombs. In addition to the main thoroughfares, venture inside chambers including an underground chapel and a mystifying tunnel, which served as the Catacombs' first attraction.

Gain immediate access to the Paris Catacombs with your skip-the-line admission. Once inside, your knowledgeable guide ushers you through the extensive subterranean network, created when Parisian leaders undertook the greatest civil engineering project of their time to address the overcrowding in their city's cemeteries. Tour the Catacombs' main tunnels to discover a city of the dead beneath the City of Lights.

Then, duck inside 2 exclusive tunnels. Explore a chapel where religious services were once delivered among vestibules filled with bones. Next, see mysterious carvings created by an original tunnel worker. Rather than stacking skulls in the vast warren, this iconoclastic worker began sculpting intricate tributes into the rock. These beguiling artworks swiftly became the first public attraction of the Paris Catacombs.

Get the most out of your visit as you listen to unique insights from your guide and together, navigate this dark but curious space. Along the way, you'll learn the intriguing stories of those who worked, visited, and have been laid to rest here over the centuries, including the secret societies that still visit today.
