01
You are booking exactly 7 days out and want the lowest price.
Official tickets are the benchmark price and include the standard audio guide.
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.

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.

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.
