Description
Explore the Paris Catacombs and the historic heart of Paris with your ticket and a self-guided audio tour, which includes a walk through the city — all in one WeGoTrip app.
Entry ticket and self-guided audio tour are available in a web browser or separate app — the WeGoTrip app. You will receive an email from WeGoTrip with the link to download the app with the ticket and the optional digital guide. The digital audio guide includes maps, photos, scripts, and audio commentary.
Begin your experience in the Paris Catacombs, one of the city's most unusual and atmospheric attractions. Descend beneath the streets and explore a network of former limestone quarries transformed into an underground ossuary in the late 18th century.
Walk through the dimly lit tunnels and discover the history behind the creation of the Catacombs, when Paris authorities moved human remains from overcrowded cemeteries into the former quarry tunnels. Learn about the city's changing relationship with death, burial, and public health while exploring this remarkable underground site.
After your Catacombs visit, continue with an audio walking tour through Paris. Explore the city's historic streets and discover landmarks, architectural treasures, and stories connected to the people and events that shaped the French capital.
Your audio guide provides fascinating context as you walk through Paris, revealing both well-known sights and lesser-known stories. With convenient navigation in the WeGoTrip app, you can follow the route at your own pace and pause whenever you wish.
