The Archaeological Crypt (Paris 4^th) presents a panorama of the urban and architectural development of the “Ile de la Cité”, the historic heart of Paris. It shows how the city has constantly been rebuilt  over a period of more than two thousand years.

The crypt was built in 1980 under the esplanade of Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Because of the catastrophic Notre-Dame fire, the Archaeological Crypt is temporarily closed.
