    Are these storm drains - as in they fill up when it rains? If so I'm guessing one need to pay very close attention to the weather. If they aren't storm drains what are they and are they open to public access?

    I guess one plus is that you don't need a tarp!

    I didnt even know such a thing existed.
    And although they would be perfect, by the looks of them, they need a fair size crack.
    With my pittons, you dont even need a crack if you have a big enough hammer! Lol

    Make sure you have an hour or so spare and google 'Paris Catacombs'

    There is a public tour round a small section, but its very staged.
    This section isnt open to the public

    Oh wow! It's an underground grave yard and it's been defaced to his degree. Wow so much for your final resting place being a sacred place.

    Is like apocalyptic times hanging in the concrete underground.
    By far not my thing but certainly interesting way to get some Urban hanging/exploring in
    Certainly applicable to say hanging in caves or old mine shafts as well.

    Keep the pics/reports/video of your adventures coming

    Please refrain from posting until you know the facts.
    Not all of the networks (there is hundreds) were used as an ossuary.
    Infact under 5% were.

    Here is one of the numerous ones that are intact, just for you...

    Very interesting location for a hang. I would venture that it doesn't look like conducive conditions for cams. Looks like the cracks are filled with mortar and you would have to chisel out the mortar for placement. Might as well pound in a piton. In addition carrying a range of cams, or chocks, to meet the width of a particular crack could be untenable, weight and room wise.
