旅游胜地——巴黎

The streets are quiet，and the stores are closed. There's the smell of fresh bread from a bakery somewhere. It would be hard to say which time of the day in Paris I prefer, but this probably is. Soon the streets will be full of people and traffic, and the real Paris will appear as the city wakes up. Under the city are hundreds of miles of tunnels. There are old subways and wine cellars that have been made into galleries. During the 19th century, farmers grew mushrooms in them. During World War Ⅱ， the French fighters also used them. Since the 1970s, groups of young people have spent days and nights there. Parties, theater performances, art galleries—everything goes here!

Everywhere you go under Paris, there is history and stories. Writers often write about the tunnels in their books. Victor Hugo mentions them in his famous novel Les Miserables. There is an underground pool there—with fish! Tourists can visit parts of the Paris underground.

You're not allowed to enter other parts of the underground. However, there are people who will take you to visit them. I have found two unofficial tour guides—Dominique and Yopie. They take me through many tunnels, and after a couple of hours we arrive at a room which isn't on any map.

It's comfortable and clean, with a table, chairs, and a bed. Yopie tells me there are many other places like this. Many people come down here to have parties. They like the room.
