About this activity
Go below the city streets of Paris to explore the darkest part of the City of Light — the Catacombs. You'll go where other people 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.
Meeting point
Meet your guide at 1 Avenue du Colonel Henri Rol-Tanguy. From Metro station Denfert Rochereau (line 4 or 6), use Exit 1 to reach the street level. You’ll see the Catacombs entrance, with glass doors and a sign, across the street, located to the right of the small green building that was the former entrance. Your guide will be waiting for you with an orange sign that says “ExperienceFirst” 15 minutes before the start of your tour. Please plan to show up 15 minutes early. The tour starts promptly, and you may not be able to catch up if you arrive late.
