Prepare yourself: the ‘galleries’ of the Musée des Egouts de Paris are actually disused sections of Paris‘ sewerage system (fans of Hugo’s Les Misérables will know what to expect). The smell is unbelievable and let that be a warning – you can’t completely eradicate over 100 years of crap. Exhibits include photographs, maps and stuffed sewer rats. As a bonus, you can actually walk around on walkways just above flowing, flushing waste from the stinky Parisians above ground. There’s a souvenir shop, too, that sells…ah… It’s open Saturday to Wednesday; Paris Museum pass holders get in for free.
