Catacombs of Paris

Catacombes de Paris

The Catacombs of Paris are the underground ossuary in former quarry tunnels at Denfert-Rochereau, run by Paris Musées.

Why go

The Catacombs of Paris are, in the operator's words, a labyrinth in the heart of underground Paris, installed in the tunnels of former quarries. Visitors descend about twenty metres to an ossuary containing the remains of several million Parisians. The site is run by Paris Musées as a City of Paris museum, at 1 avenue du Colonel Henri Rol-Tanguy in the fourteenth arrondissement. This record repeats no opening hours, step counts or prices; the operator's site is the place to check access conditions and current arrangements before you travel.
