Paris catacombs

Catacombs Paris, Ile-de-France, France

What to expect

The Paris Catacombs are underground ossuaries that hold the remains of more than six million people. This unique site recalls the history of Parisians and invites visitors to take a timeless journey. The ossuary was created to eliminate the effects of the city's overflowing cemeteries, and it extends south from the Barrière d'Enfer. Visitors can discover a maze of galleries containing the remains of several million Parisians, twenty meters underground
