Next to the Montsouris Park is the Paris International University City. Unlike London, which likes to plan everything in the city center, the French like to place some facilities in the suburbs.
The center of Paris is full of exquisite old buildings, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to demolish them, not to mention the crowded population. People from all over the world come to Paris to buy properties. Relatively speaking, only the suburbs have so many venues for students to use as football fields.
There are many holes underground in Paris. They are hidden in the underground of Paris like a complex maze. These tunnels are long and complex, and no one knows what they look like.
When the city had only 300,000 residents, the distance between these mines and the city was safe enough. With the expansion of generations, people have forgotten the existence of these mines, so that many people do not know that the new houses, offices, monuments, luxury stores, and cafes are actually built on extremely fragile foundations.
Until 1774, the city within 30 meters of Enver Street suddenly fell into a 30-meter-deep cave. After similar incidents and accidents, Louis XVI established an inspection agency responsible for underground quarries and abandoned Dongxu in 1777, referred to as IGC, responsible for investigating and repairing the underground caves in Paris to ensure the safety of the city's ground.
But the problem is that ground collapse incidents still happen from time to time. Maybe when you are sleeping in an antique hotel, you will suddenly be awakened by a roar, and then you will find yourself falling at a high speed, directly falling to the first floor or even deeper, and there are white bones around you. What's worse is that if no one rescues you in time, you will soon become one of them.
At that time, some people probably think that exploring the catacombs is not an interesting thing.
However, there are secret entrances everywhere in the catacombs of Paris, and there is always a lack of "urban explorers" who sneak in. These "explorers" are mostly young people. Some of them want to draw the underground terrain, and some just want to hold concerts, art festivals and carnivals surrounded by the bones of the dead.
In 2004, the Paris police discovered a well-equipped cinema in one of the caves. This cinema was like an underground amphitheater. The entire cinema had motion monitoring, and dogs would bark when someone unrelated to the organization approached.
When the police arrived after receiving the news, all the equipment and people were gone, and there was only a note on the ground that said "Don't look for us".
These young people are very wary of adults. If Severus takes the initiative to ask them, he may not hear the truth. Monica's appearance is different. She soon met an "explorer" who knew about the Montsouris catacombs on the side of the football field, and was invited to explore the caves after dark, while Alessandro went to the above-ground buildings in the Montsouris Park to investigate.
There is a mental hospital in the park. It is not as scary as the mental hospital on the "Isle of Death" in Venice. There are no patients with their frontal lobes cut off, and there is no "Dr. Luo". However, it implements a fully closed management. It has its own small garden, which is isolated from the world of normal people.
In the eyes of poets, Paris is not only a romantic city of flowers, but also an illusory devil, a modern Babylon, and a devil's lair. When the Montsouris Park opened, it was said that the artificial lake in the park suddenly dried up, causing the engineer in charge to commit suicide.
The water of the artificial lake was taken from the Arcueil Aqueduct, which was built by Carolina de Medici, the second queen of the Medici family. There are many classical buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries along the shore.
In theory, it doesn't matter if the lake water dries up and the cause is found, the engineer doesn't have to commit suicide. Alphonse, the engineer hired by Haussmann at the time, was from Rouen. He lived until 1889, so the rumor that the engineer committed suicide may be just a rumor, and perhaps the person who committed suicide was a patient in a mental hospital.
Alfon is good at elliptic functions. When Severus was about to connect Père Lachaise Cemetery with the entrance of the catacombs, he seemed to be guided by something and slightly deviated, connecting the Paris Observatory with the cemetery, then found the Monge Square, and thought of the Monge Circle Theorem among Monge's many theories, and then he came to the university town.
Paris International University is also a boarding school, with student dormitories in architectural styles of various countries. For a teacher, it is difficult to compare which is better, a boarding magic school for junior high school and high school or a university. People outside think that college students are civilized and polite. Well, who are those who get drunk and go to explore the catacombs or hold all kinds of strange theme parties?
Not to mention those shady "black market transactions", a Slytherin dean who likes order rather than just a teacher can't stand these behaviors.
Unfortunately, Paris International University does not have a proctor like Oxford and Cambridge. Whenever undergraduates hold crazy celebrations and parties, the proctor will appear on time. Unfortunately, the law does not allow them to use whips as they did in the past, so the supervisors can only severely reprimand those students.
Filch and Mrs. Pince live together. They have not officially married yet. Because Mrs. Pince is a witch and Filch is a squib, it will be more troublesome for them to go through the marriage procedures than for wizards to get married. Moreover, they have almost no friends, and no one will attend the wedding. When Severus returned to Hogwarts for work, he invited Filch to come to Paris in the summer vacation, one is to have a honeymoon trip, and the other is to help him with work.
Filch was very happy to come. He was always loyal to "Snape" who was hated by all students. Moreover, Severus paid for all the expenses of the couple in Paris, and the hotel they stayed in was the Grand Orient Hotel built by Lucien Murat.
The name of the hotel sounds like it is very impressive, but it is actually a three-star hotel. It is too "antique" and no one knows how it was rated three stars.
The only thing that Madam Pince thinks it is worthy of praise is the decoration full of Indian style. Moreover, after seeing the Leaky Cauldron run by old Tom, the Grand Orient Hotel looks okay, if you ignore the subway that occasionally flies by the door.
The entire line of Paris Metro Line 4 is underground. This north-south subway passes through Paris North Station, Paris East Station, Louvre Museum, the bottom of the Seine River, the French Academy, and the Porte d'Orleans Station.
Although this subway was built in 1908, the Porte d'Orleans has always stood there. Louis-Philippe was the Duke of Orleans before he became king. He strolled along the Seine with an umbrella, just like he strolled along the Thames during his exile in Britain.
Porte d'Orleans station is located at the outermost edge of the center of Paris. Going out of this gate is the suburbs of Paris. Going southwest is the direction of the Palace of Versailles, where the Bonaparte Foundation will hold a party soon.
Severus took out Thutmose's dagger.
There is no rose-line copper nail at the origin of Paris in front of Notre Dame, only an octagonal copper plaque. Few people will notice it, and few people know that there used to be a fountain and a sculpture standing inside, let alone that it has anything to do with Nicolae May.
Come closer, man of disguise, if my water is not enough, go to the temple, and the goddess you summon will prepare the water of eternal life for you.
Legend has it that the sculpture named Mr. Gray was also an oracle prophet.
Theoretically, Severus had to wait for Crimean to tow the spirit ship back from the lake full of Inferi, but the ship could only carry two living creatures. Was the entrance to Notre Dame de la Salute really fake?
"No wonder Grindelwald had the ambition to rule the world with magic and wizards." Severus whispered, and then put the dagger and his brother Gamos's golden dagger side by side on his belt, and then he took out the mirror again. This time, nothing was reflected in the mirror, and it was still a white mist, just like last time.
