The
City of Paris is well known for its hundreds of kilometers of former
undergroud quarries.
Moreover, for numerous Urban Explorers all over the world, Paris is
the Mecca of Urban Exploration and what the French police discovered
on august 23rd 2004 is the proof of the vitality of this movement :
this time, a band of Urban Explorers known as "La Mexicaine De Perforation"
("The Perforating Mexicans") built an entire cinema UNDER the Chaillot
Hill, just few meters from the Eiffel tower on the other bank of the
river Seine: Les Arènes de Chaillot (The Chaillot Arenas).
All the summer 2004, La Mexicaine De Perforation managed this cinema
and showed dozens of movies in the Urbex
Movies festival.
One remembers that La Mexicaine De Peforation organized at the Cinémathèque
française's Chaillot projection room the Session
Comoda clandestine film festival during the summer 2003.
