This Sous Paris French reading comprehension activity will teach your students about the hidden city beneath Paris. Paris is known as the city of lights, but there is a dark city underneath. Learn about the development of the catacombs and sewer system and the people who now love to explore them. It is suitable for novice-high/intermediate-low students with teacher guidance and higher-level students to work independently. If you teach AP French, this reading can be useful in giving your students practice reading nonfiction articles for the interpretive section of the test. The reading can lead to discussion or writing activities to include the other two modes of communication.

A 2-3 page article in intermediate French about the secrets hidden beneath the streets of this beautiful city. Along with the article, there is a 2-page worksheet with text-dependent questions. The worksheet is both in English and in French, so you can focus on reading skills or reading and writing.

My students loved this activity. They are really into the spookiness of the Paris catacombs. We watched some videos and incorporated this as a reading task. Doing this task around Halloween is a good idea!

My French students love learning about the Paris catacombs and this was an engaging resource for the days leading up to Halloween.

An interesting cultural reading for upper-level French students.

I have used this several times for emergency lesson plans, and it was great!

I used this during distance learning with my French 3 students and they really loved reading about the subject.

My students have been talking about the Catacombs for a while. They really enjoyed the reading.

My students were so interested by this subject. Merci

C’était parfait pour ma classe d’immersion (8/9). Merci beaucoup!

Love this! I learned so much and the students were engaged. Merci

My students enjoyed reading this and it probed them to look into it in more details whether on Google or Youtube.
