The oldest part of the system was built under Philippe Auguste in 1200 to collect and deposit the city&#8217;s wastewater. In the 19th Century, Baron Haussman and his engineer Belgrand designed the complex system that&#8217;s used today. This network has been continually upgraded to meet the needs of a growing population.<\/p>\n<p>When organized tours first began in the 19th Century visitors were transported in boats and wagons. Thankfully, for health and safety reasons, tours today are held at more of a distance. You will also <strong>learn about the lives of sewer workers and methods of water treatment.<\/strong>The museum is located beneath the Quai d&#8217;Orsay on the Left Bank. Allow 60 minutes for your visit. Short and sweet&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Okay, we won&#8217;t be advising you to rent an apartment right next to the sewers. <strong>But if you&#8217;re planning to visit the Mus\u00e9e d&#8217;Orsay or fancy zipping up the Eiffel Tower, then one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lodgis.com\/en\/paris,long-term-rentals\/rentals-furnished-paris-7_16519.cat.html\" target=\"_blank\">furnished rentals in the 7th arrondissement<\/a><\/strong> could be just for you!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10090\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10090\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10090\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/egouts-de-paris.jpg\" alt=\"egouts-de-paris\" width=\"600\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lodgis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/egouts-de-paris.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.lodgis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/egouts-de-paris-300x193.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10090\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00c9gouts de Paris<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Address: Pont de l&#8217;Alma, Place de la R\u00e9sistance, Paris, 75008<br \/>\nMetro: Alma-Marceau (Line 9)<br \/>\nRER: Pont de l&#8217;Alma (Line C)<br \/>\nBus: Pont de l&#8217;Alma (42, 63, 80, 92)<br \/>\nOpening Times: Saturday-Wednesday,<br \/>\nMay-September, 11.00-17.00,<br \/>\nOctober-April, 11.00-16.00<br \/>\nEntry: \u20ac4.40, Concessions: \u20ac3.60<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">For more information, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.parisinfo.com\/paris-museum-monument\/71499\/Musee-des-egouts-de-Paris\" target=\"_blank\">visit parisinfo.com\/\/Musee-des-egouts-de-Paris<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Are you familiar with <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.lodgis.com\/en\/paris-forgotten-train-stations\/\">Paris\u2019 forgotten train stations<\/a>?
