Not sure which ticket to choose?

For a standard paid visit in July 2026, compare the €40 entry ticket first, then pay more only if you want a Seine cruise or English-speaking hosted guidance. Visitors eligible for free or reduced admission should verify the official Catacombs process with valid proof before choosing a paid partner product; timed entry and security procedures still apply.

Before checkout

What is often not included

  • A timed ticket may shorten the wait, but it does not guarantee immediate entry: visitor capacity is capped at 200, and admission can be temporarily paused during heavy demand.
  • Large bags, suitcases and motorcycle helmets are not allowed. Only bags smaller than 40 × 30 cm are accepted, there is no cloakroom, and luggage cannot be stored on site.
  • Plan for 131 steps down and 112 steps back up, uneven and sometimes slippery floors, narrow passages and dim lighting; the route is not wheelchair accessible.
  • The underground route is cool and humid, with an average temperature of 14°C, so clothing and footwear may affect comfort even during July.
  • Free admission is handled at the front desk on the day of the visit with proof of eligibility rather than through advance online purchase; visitors joining someone with a ticket can enter at that person's time slot.
  • Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult, and the physical route may be unsuitable for visitors with reduced mobility, claustrophobia, or cardiac or respiratory conditions.
  • Free admission does not include the audioguide. If an audioguide matters to your visit, check whether it is available at the ticket desk and whether your selected ticket already includes it.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance

    For July 2026 visits, use the visitor entrance at 1 avenue du Colonel Henri Rol-Tanguy, place Denfert-Rochereau; the exit is at 21 bis avenue René-Coty, about 700 metres away. Allow time for the entrance queue and security checks—even with a timed ticket or hosted tour, entry screening may still apply. Do not bring a suitcase, large bag, motorcycle helmet or stroller: only bags up to 40 × 30 × 20 cm are allowed, carried in front of you or by hand, and there is no cloakroom. Word-map: Denfert-Rochereau / 1 avenue du Colonel Henri Rol-Tanguy = entrance → underground visit → 21 bis avenue René-Coty = exit.

  • Price

    No official benchmark price is included in the supplied July 2026 rows. The listed Tiqets options range from €40 for entry with an audio guide to €119.90 for the entry, Seine cruise and audio-guide combo, €189.90 for a semi-private English guided tour, and €249 for an English guided tour; compare inclusions carefully and confirm the final checkout total before paying.

  • Discounts

    Children aged 0–7 are admitted free, while ages 8–17 use the child rate. Free tickets are the exception to advance online booking and are issued without reservation; reduced or free categories require valid proof, so check the official rates page for the exact eligibility category. If visiting with someone who has a ticket, accompanying visitors can enter in the same time slot when permitted by the venue’s instructions.

  • Timing

    Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a mobile ticket and a time slot for Les Catacombes de Paris?

Use the ticket format and entry instructions shown by the seller at checkout. The Catacombs operate with capacity-controlled admission, so arrive at the stated date and time; a guided or skip-the-line label does not necessarily bypass security checks.

Can I cancel or get a refund if my plans change?

Cancellation and refund terms are not shown in the supplied offer rows. Check the exact seller’s conditions before payment, and do not assume that entry, combo, and guided-tour products have the same flexibility.

Is buying from a partner safe compared with buying direct?

The official Catacombs site lists Tiqets among its authorised sellers. Compare the exact inclusions, entry instructions, language, and final checkout total, because partner listings may package admission with an audio guide, cruise, or guided service.

What bags can I bring, and will security slow entry?

Suitcases, large bags, motorcycle helmets, and strollers are not allowed, and there is no cloakroom. Only bags up to 40 x 30 x 20 cm are permitted and must be carried in front or by hand; allow time for admission and security checks even with a timed or guided ticket.

What happens if I arrive late for my booked entry?

The venue uses capacity-controlled admission and tickets may be tied to a specific slot. Check the seller’s late-arrival terms and contact the seller if delayed; do not rely on a late arrival being accepted.

How do free and reduced-rate visitors enter?

Free-rate visitors must collect their ticket at the venue on the day and show valid proof; free tickets cannot generally be reserved online, but the official site states that eligible visitors are guaranteed entry even when online availability is full. Children under 8 are listed as free, while children aged 8–17 have a reduced child rate; bring proof of age or eligibility and check the booking instructions for accompanying visitors.

Is the visit suitable for children or visitors with accessibility needs?

Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. The route includes stairs, narrow and uneven passages, low light, and a cool, humid environment; it is not wheelchair accessible and strollers are not permitted, so a baby carrier is required for small children.

What is the main bottleneck inside the Catacombs?

Capacity is limited to 200 visitors and entry may be temporarily interrupted when the site is very busy. The one-way underground route includes 131 steps down and 112 steps up, so the stair access, narrow passages, and controlled entrance—not just ticket scanning—can affect the pace of the visit.
