Did you know The underground city of Naours

, located in the Picardy region of northern France, is an extensive complex of tunnels and underground rooms dating back to the Middle Ages. This underground shelter, known locally as "many", was used by the area's inhabitants to protect themselves from invaders and war conflicts, such as the Norman invasions and religious wars.
The complex consists of approximately 300 rooms and a series of galleries, chapels, stables and ventilation shafts stretching for about 3 kilometers. Allied soldiers also used Naours as a shelter and resting place during World War I. On the walls of the galleries, you can find numerous inscriptions and graffiti made by these soldiers.
The site has been the subject of archaeological and tourism studies, providing a fascinating insight into underground life and the survival strategies employed by medieval and Great War communities. Today, Naours is a tourist attraction that offers guided tours, allowing visitors to explore and better understand this incredible underground network.
