After a private tour of the labyrinth of bones and skulls, the guests will enjoy a meal to the sound of violins before a storyteller regales them with tales of the crypt. The next morning, the two will be the first people ever to wake up and leave the Paris Catacombs.
Located south of the former city gate, the Catacombs of Paris contain the remains of millions of Parisians transferred there gradually between the late-18th and mid-19th centuries as city graveyards were closed due to public health risks.
Each year, 500,000 people from around the world visit the Catacombs, but this will be the very first time that people are allowed to spend the night there. This exclusive night is organized through a partnership which contributes to the financing of renovation works in the Catacombs. Special measures were put in place to ensure the safety of participants and the preservation of the ossuary.
