The long-abandoned underground tunnels of the Paris metro train station – sometimes nicknamed “The Ghost Station” – have been a favorite destination for urban explorers from around the globe. But according to a new report from alternative travel site Thrillist, the station might one day attract a much different kind of clientele... at least if Paris mayoral candidate Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet has her way.

Image: Np Paris Ideas for the reboot include a pool, a nightclub/restaurant, an art gallery, an underground botanical garden and a performing arts auditorium and/or theater (I'm kinda partial to that last one myself), reminiscent of a real-life underground auditorium that once did booming business beneath a Boston piano store.
