About this activity
You will meet your guide in front of Café Daguerre.
Together you will go straight to the entrance of the Catacombs, with your special skip-the-line ticket.
Your guide will accompany you 65 feet below, deep beneath the city, to visit the tunnels and macabre galleries of skulls and bones.
"Stop! Here lies the empire of death" is a fitting inscription for the epitaph upon entering this fascinating underworld.
Learn about French Revolution and Robespierre, french literature with Rabelais and Racine. How Paris was built, the underground system of quarries, metro lines. And how Parisians dealed with death, from the middle ages to the modern times.
Our tours benefit from the privilege of special access to parts of the Paris catacombs that are closed to the general public. Gates to two halls are opened especially for you to see the incredible sculptures chiseled out of the rock in the Port Mahon Gallery.
You will also access the Quarryman's footbath, the Sacellum Crypt, or altar where bones were blessed before being "archived," the Sepulchral Lamp, and hear about a very private concert that happened over 100 years ago...
