• The Paris Catacombs - Beneath the vibrant lights of modern Paris lie the intriguingly dark Catacombs. On this Exclusive Tour, you will have the opportunity to descend and explore with your own group of ONLY 6 people MAX, bypassing the ticket lines. Often referred to as the “Empire of Death,” this fascinating 200-mile labyrinth contains the meticulously arranged remains of approximately 6 million Parisians. During this Paris Catacombs Tour, you will witness all the remarkable and eerie sites without the long wait. Additionally, your Tour includes VIP access to rarely seen restricted chambers.

Your Paris Catacombs Tour begins with a thrilling descent down the complex’s 133-step staircase. Your guide will share insights on how these tunnels were used in the 13th century to quarry limestone for grand buildings like Notre Dame. As you navigate these narrow tunnels, you will discover why adverse weather in the 1780s led Parisians to inter their dead here.

Throughout your tour, you will have ample time to admire the Catacombs’ intricately detailed bone decorations. From religious symbols to hearts, workers found numerous ways to “beautify” the bones within this complex. One decoration that is sure to send chills down your spine is inside the popular Crypt of the Passion. Take a moment to admire “The Barrel,” constructed from various skeletal remains.

Beyond housing the deceased, the Catacombs played a significant role in many historic events. Your guide will recount stories of the German Wehrmacht and the French Resistance, who both utilized parts of the Catacombs as wartime bunkers during World War II.

• Chapelle Expiatoire - Pay tribute to monuments dedicated to those who perished during the French Revolution, and pass by cemeteries like the Magdalena Cemetery, where beheaded revolutionaries were laid to rest. If you are not afraid of ghosts, ask your guide about the grave of the doorman Philibert Aspairt, who died in the Catacombs in the 18th century. Legend has it that Aspairt’s spirit rises every November 3rd to surprise unsuspecting tourists. Believe it or not, there is now a dedicated group of Catacombs enthusiasts known as the cataphiles. As your guide will explain, these cataphiles have caused quite a stir in recent years by hosting large raves, swimming parties, and creating an extensive network in this underground city of the dead. Keep an eye out for graffiti left by cataphiles on your Catacombs Tour. Remember, only 200 people are allowed into the Catacombs at any given time.
