Sounds like it's most likely a government organization. Or at the very least government supported, funded, and populated.
Who else gets Persona 5 vibes from this video about a secret organization?
Imagine being a kid Trying to impress your friends, and in the process you make the coolest underground organization
Ux: tells security what their weaknesses are. Security: throws a tantrum and goes to the police. Police: are you here to tell us how bad you are at your job??? Gtfo of here!!!
I mean the government must have a copy, why don't they just barricade the secret entrances. Ive never seen anyone so shit at following up on security measures haha
This is unreal. Wow.
fascinating. I’m absolutely amazed at this story. Great topic, more like this please
This is the best thing I've watched on NOlocal - or anywhere - in a long time!
.
I just realised your voice is so much deeper than when you started this show
So, Marauder's map?
Can we make a movie about their story?
The virgin art stealer vs The Chad Art Restorator.
1:28 did you say 'he' when talking about Marie Curie? Btw overall amazing videos 👍
Where do they get their budget from.... I'm confusion, only if money was that ez to have
The second bangle inadvertently arrest because fur climatologically continue an a threatening chance. crowded, amused cover
Please tell me there’s a movie or documentary about them.
I want a whole TV show of them pls
You mean the dead ones or nah?
As a white hat hacker we know all too well the joys of companies getting mad when you tell them how to fix stuff -.-
Well, going to Paris is not an easy part.... 1h by car... It's terrible
I love your french accent, it sounds so english
Liberté, égalité, fraternité
I wonder if Ben Stillers "Night At The Museum" was inspired by Les UX?
So they broke into the ministry of communication and the most interesting thing to them was "ooh a catacombs map!", not communication of corruption in the government that was covered up for years
Cat-a-cooms. Jesus.
Strong Republicans making things happen.
We need people like that here in Toronto. Our government seems hell bent on obliterating our historical buildings in favour of modern development. Is there any wonder that many think the developers have politicians in their pockets? It's a crime.
The Pantheon admin sounds like a total douche.
This Deserves a movie
Hearing how the French despice the LES UX makes me wanna believe they're just full of pride
I went to Paris for my 21st birthday years and years ago and we had a midnight tour of the catacombs as they were entirely closed to the public then (not sure if they still are.). Fascinating video.
Psssst there is also a large group of urbexers in Lyon keeping an eye on the tunnels and stuff.... 👀 Just saying 👀
Very happy to see you are still plowing forward with your presentations! Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.
what is this? watchdogs?
2:42 what is this the US capital?
2:42 what is this the US capital?
I bet they have some pretty important people from Paris as members. Like higher up officials n historic registration types that know how much red tape they have to go through to get certain things done, when they can just sneak in n have it done faster. Restoration experts too, I bet
he can still be understood at 1.75 playback speed, it helps make up for the useless silliness he uses to make the vids take longer.
I did some research on this so called secret Paris secret society called the The urban experiment and it’s real it’s a real secret society this guy is telling the truth

Don't worry, it's not the only one. 😉
Les UX : dumb kids who could've been rich .
These guys are basically the memelord equivalent of the illuminati.
Great video! 🔥🔥🔥
I was literally mesmerised by this video.. this is easily one of the best videos I’ve ever watched
"How dare these people repair a clock I was going to collect an insurance payment from!! I'm filing suit!" - That dude from Paris, probably
"he was afraid it would make him look incompetent." Well I mean it did and he was.
One of your nicest episodes, thanks mate.
led UX are French heroes and the people who are supposedly in charge are not only incompetent idiots but criminal.
Underground Society = There's always that one guy that gives away the secret *Thoughty2 =*
So if those kids effortlessly broke french securities then there is no surprise how the Nazi invaded france so easily 😅
Just think what Fred and George Weasley could have done with this map.
Very assassins creed
I could listen to you allllll day...... Infact, I do now 😂
A series about this would be fascinating
Well on the offside chance that a member of the Paris Secret Underground Society is watching I have fuck all reason to stay in the states and if college were cheaper I would be a physicist. I'm easy enough to contact and would have zero qualms ditching basically everything for a cause like this that is worthy. Hit me up if you wanna know more, I do have secure contact methods.
I wish I could be a part of les UX, I'm currently learning French, so maybe one day? I heard the sometimes have underground balls! Oh the dream!
This shit had me smiling so much it’s an amazing story
Ron Burgandy !!!!
Ok im convinced your saying 42 on purpose.
i just want to say that batman doesnt hospitalize a bunch of people or destroy a lot of property while hunting down bad guys. thats supermans schtick.
This story is so bizarre, it is beyond belief.!
Seems as if their officials are lazy and incompetent and are furious at this being made obvious and possibly forcing them to do some actual work, spoiling their cosy "jobs".
Pulsating nocturnal emission, that's a great name for a band
Our youth support BLM , Karl Marx and Antifa. French youth quietly restore French history.
Dead-set legends. Great episode.
i'm watching Thoughty2 after what? 5 years? Spooky. Well, tbh, i wouldn't rob a thing, i would just access them at night and watch them at peace. And go as far as saying that like Les Ux i would restore, protect and keep things as is, and discover more and more. Wouldn't even come up ever, but just make the underground my home, much like this dingy coop i call my room.
The Pantheon Administration seems to be a bunch of dicks.
Lexus Nexus
We need a movie on this lol
Is there a movie about this yet?
It shows you that bureaucrats are morons regardless of nationality.
That's the most kickass stuff I've ever heard of.
The French government going after Les UX is a shining example of government incompetence and a failure to protect those they should in favor of punishing those they shouldnt
Yeah, they're real heroes, and you're a naïve dork.
ISIS: Thanks for the info, Cletus.
like Les Ux are the type of guys that would "break in" and clean your house and fix your broken stuff XD where do i sigh up
PLEASE TELL ME WHERE THOUGHTY1 IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They don't care about the art because it's not real all the real stuff probably locked up somewhere and some rich person's house
He was fired and she got his job lol
mischief managed
This has restored my faith in humanity. Thank you.
Boring. I was expecting some kinky shit from the french.
Now it is not secret 🗿
Take away: Public servants don't like to be faced with the fact that they're lazy.
1:55 that's not the Pantheon but "La Madeleine" ;)
What a great story. Thanks for that.
Great job, finding stories like this. There are still good people in the world, apparently!
Les UX are the heroes Paris needs but not the ones it deserves.
Les UX aka the assassin's creed syndicate
Are you sure you're not a member of les UX thoughtly?
Hi! This was a good video, but the french pronunciation is... hmmm... So I decided to teach you how to pronounce french! It's easy, and since 50% of english vocabulary comes from french, you can amaze your friends by reading french menus in french restaurants (if they ever get re-opened... pandemic gone)! I hope it will be interesting for you and I will try my best to be as clear as possible. Let's start with vowels:"les voyelles" (lay voo-a-ee-el) a,e,i,o,u,y: (I'll put the consonants in parentheses meaning they are not pronounced) The french "a" is like (p)a(n) The french "e" is like e(rr...) or (bl)ur The french "i" is like the english letter "e" The french letter "o" is also the same in english The letter "u" is like the german "ü", start with an english "oo" like in (wh)o, move your mouth forward while making a smaller circle with your lips, then stick your tongue sligthly forward until you get the "u". The french letter "y" is called "i grec" (greck i). It usually makes the same sound as "i" in french like "Yéti", but in the middle of two vowels, it acts like two "i": one connecting to the previous vowel and the second to the next (like in "voyage" (voo-a-ya-jj) or "pays" (pay-ee) wich means country (like England or France, etc.) By putting vowels together, you can create new sounds: "oi" sounds like the english "oo-a", like in wa(gon), wha(t), wa(tt), etc. "ou" makes the english "oo" like in "(wh)o" "ai" makes the sound "ay" like in (h)ay, (h)ey, (p)ay "eau" makes the sound "o". ("eau" also means water, "les eaux" is the waters: pronounce the latter "lay-zo", as the "x" marking plural is silent, and the "s" ending the first word is connected ("lié") to the next word: most often, words that end with consonants get their last letter pronounced when the next word begins with a vowel, because it is easier for the flow of speach and is considered "plus beau" (plü bo), wich means litteraly "more cute", nicer). "au" also makes the sound "o". French also uses diacritics, called "accents" (pronounce "ak-san" without making the last "n" be heard, I'll get into these sounds with consonants below, but you can think of the english "ant" without making the "t". I can tell you now that most words finishing with "s" or "es", wich mark plural and feminine plural respectively, or "ent" wich usually marks the 3rd person plural tense of a verb, are not pronounced: since here "accent" is not a verb, we pronounce the "en" (same sound as "an") but not the last "ts" since the last "t" is silent and the "s" marking plural is also silent). Don't worry if you find it confusing first, you'll get used to it by reading words aloud and listening to them (you can try google translate for instance) as there are exceptions. The french "é" is called "e accent aigu" ("ak-san" like before and "aigu" pronounced "ay-gü" with the french "u"). Because the second word starts with a vowel sound, you would say "ak-sa(n)-tay-gü". The french "è", called "e accent grave" (pronounce "gravv") makes the sound "(h)ai(r)" or "ai(r)", sounds like the word "est" wich the verb "to be" in 3rd person singular. To differenciate with "est" the cardinal point (east), we pronounce all three letters. E.g.: "il est allé à l'est" (he went to the east): eel-lay-ta-lay-awe-lest. The french "ê" is called "e accent circonflexe" (seer-ko(n)-flex, withouth the n being heard) and makes a longer, lingering "è", like in "la fête" (party, anniversary) pronounced "la fai(r)-tt" but don't pronounce the "r"). The same goes for "â" wich makes a longer "a" but also tends to alter the sound from the short french "a" (a(t)) or (c)a(t)) to a wider and fatter sound (the word "awe" in english is pretty close). Then the "à" is a very accute and short "a". The sentence "il est tombé à l'eau" (he fell into water) would be pronounced: "eel-lay-to(n)-bay-al-lo". The "accent aigu" is not used on the letter "a", and the both "accent aigu" and "accent grave" are not used on "o" or "i" in french words, although some french words coming from other langages use it. The "ô" is basically a "o" sound but longer like the english "oh" The "Î" has the same sound as "i", it is seen primarily in conjunction of "o" to make the "wah" english sound: "il croît" (he grows or it grows) is pronounced "eel-kroo-wa", or with "a" to make the sound "è": "il connaît" (he or it knows), pronounced "eel-ko-ne(st)" (the last word "nest" without pronouncing the last "st"). Then the sounds harder to pronounce in english, I mentioned earlier: a vowel followed by a consonant: "an", "on": the first is like the english word "ant" but you wouldn't pronounce the "t", the second the word "on" but without pronouncing the "n". "in" is a middle sound between "an" and "i", I cannot think of any english parallel. Try making the "an" first, then opening your mouth wider towards the "i". "Hein?" (figuratively: What?) is pronounced the same as the french "in", like in "bassin" (bass (the fish) - "in" french) or "sein" (breast, bosom), so "in" or "ein" sound the same in french words. "oeu" or "eu" is like the english "(bl)ur", pronounced like in "meilleurs voeux!" (best wishes!): "May-yer-ver" would sound approximate. The "x" at end of words is usually silent (with exceptions "ex" meaning the same as english, "tex mex", maybe a few others) as it marks a plural. Now for the consonants, it's easy: most of them are pronounced the same in words, with the letters pronounciation being different: "b" sounds like "bay" "c" sounds like "say", sometimes pronounced like "s" and sometimes like "k": pretty much like the english rules, with the exception of "ç" called "c cédille", I hope your browser shows it properly, wich always makes the sound "s" "d" sounds like "day" "f" is the same "g" sounds like "jay" but DON'T pronounce the percussive "d" of the english "j" "h" sounds like "hash" "j" sounds like "gee" but DON'T pronounce the percussive "d" of the english "g" "k" sounds like "ka" "l" sounds like "el" "m" is the same "n" is the same "p" sounds like "pay" "q" sounds like "kü" (with the french "u"), the word "cul" (bottom, ass) sounds exactly alike (like in "cul-de-sac", a dead-end) "r" sounds like "(h)air" with the first "ai" being light (like "è") and the last "r" rolling a bit "s" sounds the same "t" sounds like "tay", and the word "thé" (tea) sounds the same "v" sounds like "vay" "w" is pronounced "double v" (doo-blur-vay) "x" sounds like "iks" "z" sounds like "zed" Now you can read french aloud and pronounce it like a real frenchman! Ho là là! Your friends will be in total amazement and ask you "you speak french, now?" and you can answer "no, I just read it" :-) But like I mentionned above, about 50% of english vocabulary stemming from the french langage, and both sharing roots with latin, If you see a word like "oxygène", well, guess what it is?😉 I think it's obvious here, and I personally don't have problems with reading english texts with more sophisticated words, them being almost identical to the french ones: it is rather the common basic words, especially "slangs" that I am not knowledgable of. Of course, french has many exceptions, and I didn't get into grammar, syntax, vocabulary, and even considering all diaspora of french speaking communities and countries having a lot of differenciations (accents, regionalisms, tones, speed, etc), making it harder sometimes to communicate, it may take a while to fully master its pronounciation, but I hope if you read up to now that you learned something and that you are already practicing... Au revoir!
Lol ^^ Les catacombes de paris sont connues depuis tres tres longtemps (par les français, sa reste notre pays et notre histoire). Et il est normal que le plan des catacombes ne soit pas connue de tous, imaginez le bordel que se serait si la moitié des touristes de la surface allaient se perdre sous terre. Ce qui me fait rire c'est qu'il y a aucune source à ce document et sans surprise se sont des anglophones qui commentent et partagent la video. Sa ferait un bon film pour Netflix US qui s'ef3force de niquer l'histoire des pays non anglophone afin de promouvoir leur propre histoire et patrimoine. Anglophone traduisez j'ai la flemme.
damn this sound really fun.
M3rC1.
The guy who left the only map in the middle of the catacombs was a OG troll
I've spent a part of my teenhood (70's) exploring catacombs with friends , It was great ! wild parties on sat. nights surrounded by bones , sometime interrupted by police raids , mud , rats , being lost for a while following a self inspired "guide" , fake maps , horror stories , great memories ... nowadays , it's really hard to get in lot of cops and concrete walls....
And I submit to you, In case of both the mysteries of Cicada 3301, and Lex Ux. A recruiting group of Cicada (Living "Underground" as you will in secret feeding and staying hidden, while "recruiting other members in code based diagrams" Where does a Cicada live? In a tunnel under ground. The Lex Ux have complete and utter knowledge of many hidden paths designs and complex diagrams. The Lex Ux, seek out and have grown by numbers according to this video. The Lex Ux wanted to remain a secrete so, when the winner of the Cicada 3301 reveled their secrete knowledge they knew he couldn't be trusted because they are searching for someone to keep their whereabouts a secrete. Let the juror think on this one.
Great Stuff. Just Breguet is a Swiss brand. Cheers
Urban Explorers know where the Hardened buildings or tunnels are and will be the ones who survive the Nuclear Holocaust, some just by the fact that they’re exploring when the nukes go off...
Apparently the French government officials in charge of taking care of their important relics are all complete morons!!!! 🤷♀️ Cheers
