The answer to the question is the Parisian sewer system.
Monk. Esq.
Heyyy,
Auguste, who was the king of France from the year 1180 right through to 1223, gave orders for the streets of Paris to be paved and have drains put in, and so, Paris has had some form of sewers and draining wastewater since the 13th century.In around 1370 the first stone walled sewer was built in Rue Montmartre and this sewer was to collect the wastewater and take it to a brook, rather than ending up back in the same place on the River Seine.The first covered sewers were introduced during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, with a network of approximately 30km of vaulted tunnels built beneath the city of Paris. But then in the year 1850, Eugene Belgrand, an engineer, designed the present day sewer system along with Baron Haussmann, who developed a way of separating the drinking water and the wastewater.This was a double system that was devised, where it would carry drinking water into the city on one network and another network of tunnels would carry out the wastewater, which was discharged far down stream from the city, so as to avoid pollution.By the year 1878 this network covered over 600km and each street had its very own sewer, which worked on gravity where it could, rather than using pumping stations.The network today is more than 2,100km of sewer tunnels, which was begun in the year 1850, although some things over the years have improved and been added.The sewers do actually follow the streets that are above and whilst you are in the museum you will be able to see numbers on each down spout, which corresponds with the house above it.Yet this is far from the only network below Paris today, as there are tunnels used for amenities such as gas and electricity and the telephone network as well. But there are also other tunnels beneath the city known as the Catacombes, which are home to lots of bones from burials.
I think that covers it!
a.k.a Its an underground museum. In the sewers.

The Musee des Egouts de Paris is perhaps the French capital’s strangest attraction – it is a sewer tour. Underneath the streets of Paris you can discover the history of waste disposal in the city formerly known as Lutetia. Sounds enthralling!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know if this answers the question, but it's a tour of Paris's sewer systems?
Egouts de Paris was first made in the 1200s and there was improvemants and additions added on to this sewer system until the 1900s

In Paris, France, you can discover Napoleon’s tomb in the Hotel des Invalides, the Mona Lisa, La Grande Pyramide and the Da Vinci Code amongst the Musee du Louvre’s art and the Flame of Liberty Memorial in the Place de l’Alma near the sewer tour. Here are some Paris travel facts and France trivia that may be of interest to visitors to the French capital.
Musee du Louvre art travel facts and trivia
Arguably the most famous painting in the world, the Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci (also known as La Gioconda or La Joconde), can be found in the Musee du Louvre in Paris.
Other artworks in the Louvre museum include the crown jewels of Louis XV, Michaelangelo’s The Dying Slave , Ingres’ The Turkish Bath, Gericault’s The Raft of Medusa
The Louvre also includes famous works by Raphael, Titian, Corot, Delacroix and Botticelli.
The famous glass pyramid (La Grande Pyramide) at the entrance to the Louvre was designed by Chinese-American architect IM Pei and featured heavily in The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.
Paris sewer tour travel facts and trivia
The Musee des Egouts de Paris is perhaps the French capital’s strangest attraction – it is a sewer tour. Underneath the streets of Paris you can discover the history of waste disposal in the city formerly known as Lutetia.
Opposite the sewer tour entrance is the Place de l’Alma. Here you can see the Flame of Liberty Memorial, which is a replica of the flame at the top of the Statue of Liberty in New York, the United States of America. The memorial has been somewhat appropriated by fans of Diana, Princess of Wales, who died in the underpass going under the Place de l’Alma.
Paris, France - Eiffel tower history
The Eiffel Tower, designed by Gustav Eiffel, was made for the 1889 World Fair and wasn’t all that popular with Parisiens at the time, even though it was then the tallest structure in the world. It was due to be torn in 1909, but it was saved as it made an ideal spot to put TV and radio antennas on top of.
Nearly 6m people climb the Eiffel Tower (or Tour d’Eiffel) every year.
Paris, France – Hotel des Invalides
The Hotel des Invalides was built in the 17th century by Louis XIV to provide housing for disabled war veterans
Emperor Napoleon’s tomb can be found in the Eglise du Dome, which is in the Hotel des Invalides complex.
The Musee de l’Armee (Museum of the Army) can also be found inside the Hotel des Invalides. It is the biggest military museum in France, and has huge displays on medieval armour and weaponry as well as a large exhibit on the Second World War.

the Musée des égouts de Paris, or Paris Sewers Museum.
The Sewer System of Paris is supposedly Paris' strangest attractions. It's inolvement in history is that it has provided Paris water since 1200 or so.
It was also quoted in EVERYONE's Favorite Movie/Book Les Misérables (The Jean Valjean Movie).

<3demii
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.
