As you walk through the former limestone quarries, your audio guide will explain how they were transformed into an ossuary and share the stories behind one of Paris's most unusual landmarks. Along the route, you'll see galleries lined with the bones and skulls of more than six million Parisians, creating a powerful and unforgettable atmosphere. Explore the underground labyrinth, uncover its mysteries, and gain a unique perspective on Parisian history.

About Paris

Paris pairs grand boulevards and riverside monuments with café terraces, art collections of global stature and neighbourhoods that feel like villages.

The Seine runs through the heart of the city, past the Île de la Cité with Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle, the long façade of the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay in its former railway station. Downriver, the Eiffel Tower rises over the Champ de Mars, and the Arc de Triomphe crowns the Champs-Élysées.
