Discover the transformation of an ancient quarry into the world’s largest underground ossuary, where the skulls and bones of six million Parisians are meticulously arranged. As you walk through 1.5 kilometers of narrow, dimly lit passages, your guide will bring history to life with intriguing stories, myths, and centuries-old secrets hidden beneath the streets of Paris.
