- The Paris Catacombs - An English-speaking local expert will guide your group through the 200-mile maze of bone-lined galleries and former quarry tunnels. At the entrance, an inscription reads, “Arrête! C’est ici l’empire de la mort” – “Stop! Here lies the empire of death.” Here, you will encounter the remains of dignitaries such as Rabelais and Robespierre, among over 6 million former Parisians.
While standard tours follow public routes, your guide will take you beyond the usual path. Discover hidden sites like Gilbert’s Tomb and the Port Mahon Gallery, where an 18th-century quarry worker secretly carved sculptures over five years before a tragic cave-in. You will also see the Quarryman’s Footbath and the Sepulchral Lamp, whose flame reassured workers that the air was safe.
As you explore, your guide will bring to life the history, legends, and mysteries of this underground world. After this journey 65 feet beneath Paris, you will never see the city the same way again.
