Full description

Avoid the hassle of ticket counters. Simply show your voucher, start your self-guided tour and explore the 'City of Lights' at your own pace with an informative audio guide.

As you discover a world beneath the streets of Paris, see tunnels and rooms decorated with the human bones and skulls of around 6 million Parisians. The Paris Catacombs were originally a quarry with hundreds of kilometers of tunnels burrowed beneath the streets of Paris. When the cemeteries of Paris became overfilled, the city started moving the dead into the Catacombs.

The catacombs were definitely worth visiting and I liked our visit overall. However, there is no mention in the booking details that headphones are no longer included with the audio tour. Since Covid they are no longer giving out headphones so you just have a cell phone shaped device to listen to the audio on speaker. This was difficult to do with multiple people and very distracting so I really didn’t listen to much of the information unfortunately. Bring your own headphones and you’ll be fine!

This was such an experience. The self guided tour was perfect as you could do this on your own timing. There are signs on the wall you will need to look out for when knowing when to elect the next section to listen too. I would highly recommend this your if you have the time in Paris.

it was very interesting learning about the history of the Catacombs. it is an underground cemenatry now and I greatly appreciate the reverence they have for those laid there and the scripture verses to commemorate the dead. Very informative and historic.
