In addition to its wonderful museums and its typical caf?ɬ©s, Paris is full of mysteries. Do you know for instance that there is a veritable maze of underground tunnels below the city of lights? If you have seen the Da Vinci Code, this visit may be for you.
The undergrounds of Paris are part of the folklore and go back to the origins of the city; Paris was actually built on a layer of materials that have been used for its construction.

Many accidents began to take place in the early 19th century and the exploitation of the quarries was finally banned.
