Underground quarries, such as the Capuchin quarries, have often played a key role in Parisian history, especially in the extraction of building materials such as stone to be built. These sites, sometimes converted or abandoned, bear witness to past artisanal and industrial activities. Their preservation as historical monuments keeps a record of these practices and their impact on the urban development of Paris.
