   EDITOR REVIEW:

7ème ARRONDISSEMENT.   The sewer museum may be out of sight, under the streets of Paris, but it's worth a visit, especially if you're familiar with Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, or if you're fascinated with the offbeat. The city's current sewer network was begun in 1850, although some rudimentary pipes were laid earlier, under order of Napoleon. Along with exhibits and a brief film you can take a quick tour of the maze of sewer pipes. You likely won't want to make it a long one, as the smell can be off-putting. The entrance is in the park between the Quai d'Orsay and the Seine. METRO: Alma-Marceau
