From Paris's 1st arrondissement to the Grands Boulevards, the covered passageways and shopping galleries take us into a parallel world, allowing us to explore the capital's right bank in a whole new light. Most of these passages were built in the 19th century, in the commercial districts of Paris where wealthy customers liked to stroll.
These covered streets and galleries are home to many original boutiques, art galleries and museums, restaurants, cafés and various curiosities that make these passages exciting sightseeing tours.
Antiques, Art Deco, "Little India", fashion: each passage has its own particularity, its own identity that makes it so special. Sometimes hidden away, these galleries are easily overlooked by the uninitiated. So take every opportunity to (re)discover them!
The "Passages et Galeries" association organizes free guided tours of Paris's covered passageways.
3 tours are offered to discover these secret places:
- La Vie parisienne
- Paris et ses grands boulevards
- Historic Paris
Anecdotes, secret stories, events and unusual stores: these covered passageways have more than enough to surprise you! Let yourself be carried away by this beautiful stroll through the heart of Paris, or take advantage of the other guided tours organized during these JEP 2024.
