The idea of visiting the sewers of a major city may not seem very appealing at first. Nevertheless, it is an original way to discover part of Paris foundations. With over two kilometres of galleries, the museum presents an exhibition about the city water system through an historical approach of the sewer's evolution. A display of machines and models illustrate the techniques used through the ages to deal with the water cycle. The museum also presents the way manpower was involved in its maintenance. Admission: adults EUR3.81; concessions EUR3.04; 5-12yrs EUR2.28.
