Musée des Égouts de Paris

In the story · Story setting: Remy's arrival through the sewers

Remy is swept into Paris through the sewers and his whole colony later settles in the tunnels beneath the city. The sewer museum at Pont de l'Alma lets you walk a real stretch of the brick galleries that inspired the film's underground world.
