Guided Walking Tour - The Covered Passages: Hidden Treasures & chic shopping

---

Discover the delights of the charming covered passages. Full of tiny boutiques and cafés, chic Parisians have been shopping here since the early 19th century. These exquisite covered walkways are richly decorated, and today are still home to charming boutiques and brasseries, with their café tables spilling out into the passageways. Over 150 of these gorgeous glass roofed passages once dazzled both the French and their European neighbors, but now only a handful remain. You’ll be transported back in time as you explore these tiny marvels.

We’ll also stroll through the gorgeous gardens of the Palais Royal, once a royal palace home to kings and queens, now the perfect place to escape the crowds. Just a stone’s throw away from the Louvre, it’s a hidden paradise – tranquil gardens surrounded by tiny boutiques and cafés. Your expert local guide will show you the gems of these secret places as you explore one of the most enchanting sides of Paris and discover some of the best places to shop, eat and relax in the city.
