Musée des Égouts de Paris
A museum inside the working sewer itself: a dry gallery on Belgrand's nineteenth-century network, then a wet gallery down in the live tunnels under the quai, smell included. Hugo set part of Les Misérables in these galleries.
Wear shoes you don't mind, go early, and skip it after heavy rain when sections close.
