We loved visiting the catacombs. We got there and went straight in as we arrived right at our tour time. The self guided tour was great to be able to go at one's own pace. I went with my 10 year old boy and he really loved the tour. I wasn't sure he would want to follow the audio guide, but it was short enough and very interesting so he stuck to it and was telling me about all the history after the tour. I highly recommend!

Ossuaries (stacking, storing human bones) are fascinating. The church in Kutna Hora, Czech Republic is a great one above ground. But the Paris Catacombs is a fantastic one that is underground! It is well kept, well managed and one of the great sites when visiting Paris.

What I liked best was that you could walk through the catacombs at your own pace and still get to know everything about the story thanks to the audio guide. So you could take enough time to look at everything in peace. I also like the fact that the audio guide is available in several languages. Furthermore, the information from the audio guide was understandable, informative and yet not too much.

This Paris Catacombs ticket includes time entry with a complimentary audio guide (available in English, French, German, and Spanish).

Timed entry allows you to select your preferred time slot and enjoy your visit without the hassle of waiting in long queues.

The multilingual audio guide narrates an in-depth history of the Catacombs; from being a quarry to an ossuary.

Upgrade your ticket to yet another must-do Parisian experience—1-hour Seine River cruise and check the cruise timings here.

Very interesting to see a part of Paris not as well publicised. Respectfully carried out and a huge space. Remember to pick up the audio guide before descending the steps.

The ease of entry for both experiences was excellent. The guided tour in the catacombs was very educational. The views on the River tour were perfect and it was good length.

The staff who checked us in were friendly and professional. The audio guide was informative. The catacombs were respectfully maintained and fascinating. Please note the stairs back to the living world are numerous and may be difficult for some.

Paris Catacombs

Leave the hustle and bustle of Paris behind, as you descend 131 steps and ascend 112 steps to reach the world's largest underground cemetery–Paris Catacombs. Plug in your audio guide and let your journey begin down a one-way narrow passageway that is lined with the bones and skulls of over six million Parisians. The slow walk through these passages will take you back in time, sharing gripping stories of its history, architecture, significance, and so much more. Complete the circuit in an hour and ascend 112 steps to re-enter light and life, above ground.

Seine River Cruise

Upgrade your ticket to include a 1-hour relaxing cruise on the Seine River. The cruise ticket gives you access to a pre-recorded audio guide (in a language of your choosing), narrating interesting facts about renowned Parisian landmarks that you'll pass by, including the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, and The Louvre.
