Itinerary
Your tour begins near the entrance to the Catacombs
Meet your group and expert guide near the entrance to the Paris Catacombs and prepare to step into Paris's most extraordinary underground world.
Enter the Paris Catacombs with pre-reserved tickets
Down you go, 130 steps below Paris' busy streets. The temperature drops and the light fades as you enter a maze of tunnels that started as limestone mines back in the 1200s. Your guide explains how these forgotten quarries became burial chambers when the city's graveyards ran out of room.
Walk through the bone-lined corridors
Walls of skulls and femurs stretch in every direction, stacked floor to ceiling. Artists arranged the bones into crosses, hearts, and archways—their way of making death a little less grim. You'll learn that 6 million Parisians rest here, and their remains actually help hold up the tunnels above your head.
Stand before the Barrel of Passion
In the Crypt of Passion, a tower of skulls built to resemble Obelix marks the most iconic spot underground. In 1897, 45 musicians performed Chopin's Funeral March to over 100 guests at an illegal midnight concert right here.
Entering the two restricted chambers
A guard unlocks iron gates that most visitors never see. Behind them lie hidden rooms closed to the public, where the silence feels heavier and the bones tell different stories. Your small group gets exclusive access that makes this tour truly one of a kind.
