Venture Deep under the Streets of Paris
Dug out in the middle ages, the Catacombs of Paris were originally a quarry with hundreds of kilometers of tunnels which were burrowed underneath the streets of Paris. Then when the cemeteries of Paris became overfilled the city started moving the dead into the catacombs.

Today access into the Catacombs is very limited and it is rare to be able to explore inside with a local guide who knows the history and the tunnels like we do.

Join our small group tour and we’ll guarantee you access to this wonderfully unique part of Paris. Explore more than a kilometer of tunnels and come away with memories to haunt you for a lifetime!

The tour is operated in English.
