The program in detail

Semi-Private Paris Catacombs Tour with Exclusive Access – A Journey Into the Depths of Time

A Tour That Changes Perspectives on Life & Death

An Unforgettable Experience Beneath Paris

This is by far my personal favorite tour. A journey that can transform anyone’s perspective—from children to adults. For eight years, I have shared countless stories about the Catacombs, watching travelers of all ages walk through a mile-long underground gallery, half of it filled with human remains.

The truth? The place is bone-dry, but in my craft (guiding), I feel like I bring the dead back to life through storytelling. Of all the places in Paris, this one—by its simplicity, monumentality, and history—stirs the deepest emotions.

As you navigate through corridors lined with thousands (millions) of human remains, one thought becomes overwhelmingly clear: Life is here and now.

Descend Into the Underground World of Paris
