Beneath the upper town there are kilometres of galleries, and the guided visit covers only part of them. They probably began as a quarry for fuller's earth, the clay used to degrease the wool of Provins's cloth, famous in the Middle Ages. Later they served as a refuge, as storage during the Champagne fairs and as a meeting place: on the walls there are old Freemasons' inscriptions.

Always with a guide, in groups of 25 people at most, and it lasts about 45 minutes. Inside it is 13 °C all year: in summer, bring something for your shoulders. You enter at 3 Rue Saint-Thibault.
