What makes Provins so special is its double underground system

Provins is unique in that it has two underground passages. Each major building in the citadel extends underground, with a quarry, a lower room and a crypt linked to the others by underground passages. This second city - more than a hundred rooms in the Ville Haute and several dozen in the Ville Basse - was created from quarries used to extract the "terre à foulon" (fuller's earth) used to degrease and clean the high-quality woollen cloth produced in Provins. This guided tour is a must on any visit to Provins!

La visite se fait uniquement par visite guidée . Il faut compter environ 30minutes. La guide était énergique et connaissait beaucoup de choses sur les souterrains : la pierre utilisée , à quoi servaient les souterrains …. On chemine à travers ces souterrains , on imagine la vie qui s’y déroulait soit en temps de paix ou de guerre . Une très belle visite instructive .

Would have been nice if the lady in ticket office informed us the tour was in french. Would have reprioritize differently.

French ppl seemed to had fun with guide. Was pretty boring if you didn't understand anything.
