Louvre Storm Drains
The Louvre Storm Drains are Lara Croft's entrance point to the Louvre Museum in central Paris. The drains run under the entire complex and at times right alongside the ancient foundations.

Summary
Entering from an outside pipe, Lara slides into the network of tunnels and pump rooms. She must make her way through various tall wells, climbing on broken walkways and beams. Parts of the drains seem to have been abandoned and unused, perhaps due to more specialised and streamlined draining methods used nearer to the foundations.
Lara will have to raise and lower the water level by pressing various switches located around the wells. Eventually she will have to turn the water supply off in order to access another newer tank. Here she will plant explosives on a container of flammable gases so that she can blow a hole into the basements of the museum. From there, she can access the galleries above.#

Notes
Many storm drains are large enough to be accessed by humans, but are generally not open to the general public. Recently however, the notion of 'urban exploration' in areas such as storm drains, has become a hobby by various clubs in big cities.
