Paris Sewer Museum

Underground expedition

93 Quai d'Orsay
Paris 75007
+33 (0)1 4705 1029

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 a 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: EUR 4.10
