Secret cave in Paris, for movies and drinks

The Guardian reports that Parisian police have discovered a cave containing a bar and an audiorium for film screenings, complete with a professionally installed electrical system and working phone lines. Although the police have no idea who built the underground cinema, they suspect the work of so-called cataphiles, bands of urban explorers who access the network of tunnels and catacombs under Paris. My favorite part of the article:

Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."
