Listing highlights

What you’ll do

Paris's covered passages were built before Haussmann's boulevards erased the city's medieval street grid. These charming glass-roofed arcades, which escaped demolition, still hold antique dealers, mosaic floors, and the city's oldest storefronts. I'm a historian with 15 years of experience guiding tours. In this 2.25-hour walking tour, I'll lead you through nine passages, from the Passage des Panoramas to the elegant Galerie Vivienne and the crowd-free Rue des Colonnes.
