03

You want more context than the standard one-way ossuary route.

Third-party guided tours can add live narration and, when explicitly included by the seller, access to locked historical rooms such as the Sacellum, the sepulchral lamp, or Port-Mahon gallery. This is mainly worth it for dark-history fans.

Choose by your situation

Before checkout

What is often not included

  • Security screening: Timed entry does not remove security checks; allow time before your slot.
  • Strict bag size limit: Bags larger than 40x30x20 cm are prohibited and there are no lockers on-site.
  • Health & Safety: Not recommended for visitors with heart or respiratory problems, pregnant women, sensitive visitors, or anyone prone to claustrophobia; the route is underground, narrow, and dimly lit.
  • Physical demand: The route involves 131 steps down and 112 steps up over 1.5 km; there is no elevator access.
  • Exit location: One-way route; you exit at 21 bis Avenue René-Coty near Metro Mouton-Duvernet, not back at the entrance.
  • Temperature constant: The ossuary remains at 14°C (57°F) year-round; a light jacket is often useful even in summer.

Insider tips

4 things to know before your visit

  • Entrance: Entrance: 1 Avenue du Colonel Henri Rol-Tanguy by Denfert-Rochereau. Route: one-way underground walk of about 1.5 km. Exit: 21 bis Avenue René-Coty, near Mouton-Duvernet, so choose your post-visit meeting point there rather than back at the entrance.
  • Price: Official 2026 rates are €31 for adults, €25 for reduced categories, and €15 for children aged 8–17. Partner prices starting at €40 may vary; compare the final checkout total and inclusions before paying.
  • Discounts: Children 8–17 pay €15 (audioguide included). Children under 8 and disabled visitors (with one companion) enter for free. Free tickets cannot be reserved online; they are issued at the desk upon arrival. Entry for these categories is guaranteed even if the website shows no availability. Note: Audioguides are not included with free tickets but can be rented for €5.
  • Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When do official tickets go on sale?

Tickets are released on the official website exactly 7 days in advance. For a specific time slot, set an alert in Paris time and check at the same local time as the visit slot you want, for example 10:00 AM for a 10:00 AM slot next week.

Does 'skip-the-line' mean I don't wait at all?

No. It usually means you avoid buying at the ticket window or have a reserved time. All visitors still pass security and site-flow controls before entering the tunnels.

Can I bring a backpack or stroller?

No. Strollers and large bags over 40x30x20 cm are not allowed, and there is no cloakroom. Keep small bags in front of you or at your side.

What happens if I am late for my time slot?

Late arrival may affect access or priority. Arrive before your selected time and check the refund or exchange terms on your official or seller voucher.

Are there toilets inside the ossuary?

No. There are toilets at the entrance and the exit, but none during the underground route.

Is the audio guide included in all tickets?

Paid official adult, reduced, and child tickets include the audioguide. Free-entry visitors can rent an audioguide on-site for €5.
