Meeting point
1 Avenue du Colonel Henri Rol-Tanguy, 75014 Paris, France — Tickets arrive by email between 24 and 2 hours before your Catacombs entry time. The cruise is with Bateaux Mouches at Port de la Conférence, 75008 Paris, about 10 minutes' walk from the Eiffel Tower.
Nearest transit: Catacombs: Metro 4 and 6 or RER B to Denfert-Rochereau
What is in the bundle
You get three things. First, a timed entry to the Catacombs with the audio guide, the same visit as the standard ticket. Second, a one-hour Seine cruise with Bateaux Mouches, with audio commentary, passing sights such as the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame. Third, entry to up to three temporary exhibitions in City of Paris museums, among them the Musée de la Libération de Paris, valid the same day or the next.
How the day works
Your booked time is your Catacombs entry time, and the operator is strict: arrive late and the ticket is lost. Allow about an hour underground. The cruise does not have to be the same day; the cruise ticket stays valid for six months, so you can save it for a sunny afternoon. To claim the exhibitions, you email the operator after booking with the ones you want and the day.
Why some people book it when the Catacombs look sold out
Combo sellers hold their own Catacombs slots. One recent reviewer wrote that the Catacombs were sold out for their dates but this combination ticket still got them in. The listing carried the 'likely to sell out' badge on 27 October 2026, so it is not unlimited either, but it is worth checking when the official calendar and the plain ticket show nothing.
Free cancellation, which the plain ticket lacks
The standard audio-guide entry ticket on this site is non-refundable. This combo can be cancelled free up to 24 hours before, which is the main reason to choose it over the cheaper non-refundable combos if your plans might change.
Rules underground
There are 130 steps down and 112 up, and the passages are narrow in places, so the operator rules it out for wheelchair users, people with limited mobility, cardiac or respiratory problems or claustrophobia. It is around 14 °C year-round and can be slippery. Suitcases, luggage and large backpacks are not permitted, and there are no lockers.
