Forbidden Paris : the unknown underground megastructures

Everyone knows Paris and its architectural treasures. But the City of Light has not yet revealed all its secrets. Under its cobblestones, the capital city hides megastructures that are unique in the world, mysterious, dangerous and unknown to the general public. Underground constructions essential to its functioning, which constituted colossal challenges for their builders! Quarries, catacombs, sewers, opera… How did Charles-Axel Guillaumot, Eugène Belgrand, Baron Haussmann and Charles Garnier succeed in their impossible bet?
