HistoryArchaeologyOpen until 6pmFrom €9Cité (Metro Line 4)

Die Crypte archéologique de l'île de la Cité ist ein unterirdisches archäologisches Museum unter dem Vorplatz der Kathedrale Notre-Dame. Es wurde 1980 eröffnet und bewahrt Funde, die bei Ausgrabungen in den 1960er- und 1970er-Jahren zutage kamen, darunter gallo-römische Thermen und Wehrmauern, mittelalterliche Kellergewölbe sowie die Fundamente längst verschwundener Kirchen und Hospitäler. Betrieben von Paris Musées, zeichnet die Krypta die städtebauliche Entwicklung der Île de la Cité über zwei Jahrtausende nach, wobei 3D-Rekonstruktionen die aufeinanderfolgenden Epochen der Stadt lebendig werden lassen.
