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.

This was number one on my list and it was even more magnificent than I could have even anticipated. There was so much beauty and energy at the arch that when you walked up the stairs it felt as though you weren't walking alone. Each step was an honour to dedicate to the lives of the names listed on the structure. If your in Paris I'd say this is above all else to see especially if you are short on time.

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.
Arc de Triomphe
The Arc de Triomphe, situated centrally in Paris, stands as a prominent tourist destination, drawing inspiration from the architectural style of ancient Roman triumphal arches. As you explore this iconic landmark, pay homage to the bravery and sacrifice of 1.3 million French soldiers at the solemn Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a poignant reminder of the nation's resilience during World War I.
But the adventure doesn't stop there! With your tickets, ascend to the rooftop for a breathtaking panorama of Paris, where the city's 12 grand avenues radiate outwards in all directions. Enhance your experience with informative pamphlets available in 10 languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese, and Russian.
Paris Catacombs
Get fast-track access to the Catacombs and descend 20 meters (65 feet) underground, where you'll step into one of the city's most intriguing attractions. Learn about the fascinating history of these tunnels, which became the final resting place for millions, with the assistance of an audio guide available in English, French, German, and Spanish. The walls of the Catacombs are lined with neatly arranged bones and skulls, creating a macabre yet mesmerizing sight.
