Catacombs of Paris Entry Ticket + Audio Guide

Forget cafés and museums, this isn’t your average tourist trap, this is Paris’s darkest, coolest secret.

Beneath the charming streets and cafés lies an ossuary like no other- The Catacombs of Paris, a winding maze of bones, legends, and silence. and more bones! . It’s a real former quarry turned graveyard, created in 1786 to deal with overflowing cemeteries. And what did the Parisians do? Naturally, they made it aesthetic. So, now it's a museum of mortality (or, as the Parisians might say, très gothic). Arranged with eerie elegance along a 1.5-kilometre trail, the skull-lined walls and bone arches will whisper ghost stories and historic truths in your ear. With your included audio guide, you’ll walk through centuries of death, history, and disturbingly symmetrical skeleton stacks. You'll hear tales of grave robbers, revolutionaries, and poets, all while surrounded by real skulls and femurs stacked like baguettes at a market stall.

It’s strange. It’s surreal. It’s so Paris.
