Covered Passages of Paris Tour, Paris

5.0 (2 reviews)

Overview

Join a local as you discover a truly hidden part of the city: the stunning 19th century Covered Passages. Frozen in time since the 1800s, the city created these glass-roofed and paved arcades for nobles to enjoy a stroll and shop away from the dirt and the rabble of the streets.

Today, Parisians still love exploring the passages and getting lost looking for a hidden brasserie, a one-of-a-kind bookstore, or an offbeat art gallery. Relive those elegant days by discovering the city's most beautiful passages, including the one that leads to the lovely gardens and courtyards of the Palais Royal, a secret haven for knowledgeable locals.

Those that go beyond predictable Paris and explore its Covered Passages get a unique treat: the opportunity to imagine what it was like to stroll here in the 19th century and who you'd likely meet. Explore hidden details and listen to historical anecdotes as you sneak away from the tourist crowds and enjoy hidden Paris.
