Paris Underground

Paris Underground primarily refers to the extensive network of tunnels and catacombs beneath the city, originally built for transportation, mining, and drainage. During World War II, these underground passages also served as secret hiding places and routes for the French Resistance against Nazi occupation. The term can encompass both the physical infrastructure of tunnels and the historical stories of covert operations that took place beneath Paris, symbolizing resilience and clandestine activity during a turbulent period. Today, some areas are open to tourists, offering a glimpse into the city's hidden underground history.
