In the quarries of the 16th in Paris, in the Palais de Chaillot. These quarries have been called "catacombs Trocadero" because a part was used in the Universal Exhibition of 1900 to show the public the geology of the basement. Height 55 feet 4 inches / 17 Metes 8693 (as printed on the wall)
We call these underground quarries "quarries of Chaillot". The size of these quarries was 12 acres originally, but now it remains only a small network of underground tunnels. At Expo 1900, we used a small portion of the underground galleries to present the work of mining and underground quarries. A prototype of the Channel Tunnel was also conducted.

The limestone quarry of Chanaz is a smaller operating on three levels. The ceiling height is between 5 and 10m. Sometimes, holes in the floor let you see underground levels.
The network size is almost 4km developed. It was exploited from 1860 to the end of the Second World War to make cement. Portions was reused as mushroom farm thereafter (row crops and cultures in bags).
In this photo taken at the highest level, we see the intermediate level, row crop bottom right and even two holes overlooking the lower level. This is the most impressive part of the network with large volumes!
