Catacombs of Paris: Guided Tour in English

The City of Light has a dark side – 65 feet beneath the charming tree-lined boulevards and honey-colored architecture, the Catacombs of Paris lurk in the shadows. Home to over 6 million human skeletons (roughly 3 times the living population of Paris!) arranged neatly along 200 miles of tunnels, this grim underworld offers a bone-chilling glimpse into the past. Summon your courage and plumb the macabre depths on a guided tour of this creepy necropolis. Just don't forget to look behind you!
