Les Égouts de Paris (Paris Sewers), Pont de l'Alma.
In the world's most beautiful city, who would want to see the sewers?

Lots of people, especially those who have read Victor Hugo's Les Misérables or watched old movies of World War II resistance fighters on late-night television.

Paris' sewer system is actually an engineering marvel, laid out by Napoleon's great planner, Baron Haussmann.

If the mechanical guts of a great city interest you, get in line for a visit on one of the few afternoons when a glimpse of the sewers is offered.

Bring a flashlight/torch if you have one.

Métro: Alma Marceau, then south across Pont de l'Alma;
RER: Pont de l'Alma.
