Paris Under Your Feet

The underground water reservoir tank of Mountsouris was built in 1874.Today it still supplies 1/5 of the Parisian population with water in the south and the center of Paris. The Montsouris tank is said to have a better taste than all the other sources in the capital. I lived there for a time in the 1970s and the water was better there than any other place in the city.
