Paris is known as the City of Lights, the City of Love. The illuminated Eifel Tower and the splendour of the Louvre Palace attract tourists from all around the world. But not many people know there is another world underneath this majestic beauty. The labyrinth of dark tunnels lying 20 metres beneath the street level conceals secrets of the city’s past. These subterranean galleries preserve the remains of over 6 million Parisians. Their bones and skulls decorate the walls of the Catacombs. Descend the spiral stairwell and get to see the Paris Ossuary.

With the Catacombs of Paris Tour, you will learn how the ossuary was created in the tunnels of the former quarries and reveal some of its mysteries. Experience a thrilling yet reflective journey through the maze of the Catacombs and admire the romantic side of this dark place. A visit to this “Empire of Dead” is a unique opportunity to look at the history of Paris from a new perspective.
