Catacombs of Paris

The Catacombs of Paris offer you a unique insight into the city's underworld. In the 18th century, these underground passages were created in response to a lack of space in cemeteries. Today you can hike through kilometers of tunnels created from quarries. The most famous attraction is the bone relics of over six million people, which are artfully arranged here. You will learn more about the history of Parisian funeral culture and the challenges of the city in the 18th century.

The mix of history and architecture is particularly interesting: the catacombs are not only evidence of the engineering skills of their time, but also a testimony to life in the past era. The consistently cool temperature in the catacombs makes for pleasant exploration, even on hot days. A visit is a must for history buffs and offers an alternative perspective on Paris that goes far beyond the well-known landmarks. Plan your tour and immerse yourself in the mysterious world beneath the city.
