• One of the most unique ways to visit Paris takes place 20 meters underground! A labyrinth of tunnels running under the city in ancient quarries, the “Catacombs” retain an air of mystery and macabre – and for good reason: the Catacombs were transformed into a municipal cemetery in the 1700’s, housing the bones of Parisians dating back to Middle Ages.

• Your knowledgeable guide will provide history and anecdotes of the site before you head down into the Catacombs and will of course answer any questions you may have at the end. Your guide will be there to lead you on a path through these ancient quarries as you discover another world under the busy streets of Paris.

• Due to the sensitive nature of the visit and the proximity to bones, we recommend saving this visit for another time if you are traveling with young children.
