TUI unveils top Halloween-inspired experiences

From visiting iconic horror movie settings in Rome to venturing deep underground in Paris, these are some of the recommended adventures.  

Paris

Besides exploring the Paris Catacombs – home to more than 6 million skeletons, or strolling through Père Lachaise Cemetery, the resting place of artists like Jim Morrison, adventurous travellers can discover the darker side of the Palace of Versailles on a murder and mystery-themed tour. 

If the magnificent castle walls of the Palace of Versailles could speak, they would tell many dark and daring tales; of murder most foul, of poisoned wine chalices, of scandals and betrayal. Discover which part of the castle was built over a cemetery, and see where the ghost of Marie-Antoinette is said to walk at night. TUI Musement offers the four-hour Murders and mysteries tour at the Court of Versailles tour with prices starting from £114pp. Departures run Tuesday-Sundays and include transport, guide and admission fees.
