What you can expect

Skip the long lines and unlock gates to hidden rooms in the Catacombs on this small group VIP tour, as you discover the buried secrets of underground Paris.

Beneath the streets of Paris there is another, darker side to the city that few get to see. Twenty metres below street level, the galleries of the Paris Catacombs extend for over 200 miles - a subterranean maze under the city that many are unaware of as they stroll along the streets above.

The Paris Catacombs are home to the bones of more than 6 million Parisians. Overcrowding in city centre cemeteries led to open graves and unearthed corpses, spreading disease (and a few horror stories!) into the surrounding areas. Carefully moved here in the 18th century, wall after wall of stacked bones, and some slightly macabre compositions, now await you as you follow an expert local guide into ‘The Empire of Death’.

Your guide will lead you through the underground passages and into some very special rooms. Your small group visit will ensure that you get the most out of this extraordinary site. This tour also allows you access to parts of the Catacombs that are closed to the general public. Have underground gates unlocked specially for you and learn the intriguing stories of those who worked, visited and have been laid to rest here over the centuries, including the secret societies who still visit today. Past and present Paris and its inhabitants come to life as you explore the city's hidden entrails.
