Well, tourists should know about these passages, you can do kms of them when you know the places, n you find old shops, used books, stamps, designers clothes, antics, tea shops.. Charming, low end... Restaurants.. Great variety n ambiance!

Passages in Paris are such magical places. Not only it's not very well known by regular tourists, they simply have a unique atmosphere. Their small shops are full of surprises. You definitely won't regret wandering in them. The cool thing is that most of them are all close to each other. Anyway, I highly recommend if you're visiting Paris.

Hier samedi 9 janvier, de passage à Paris, pour un court séjour, et au vu de la météo très capricieuse et pluvieuse, nous avons décidé de les parcourir... Belle découverte, riches de mosaïque, carrelage, sculpture, façade d'époque.. Pour certaines.. Et pour d'autre, malheureusement plus triste, sombre et laissé en désuétude... Bien dommage.. Attention certaines sont du domaines privé, donc vérifiez les heures d'ouverture pour y accéder..

(Translated by Google) Have done the course which connects the covered passages. Really very interesting. They are all very different and each has a special charm (Original) Avons fait le parcours qui enchaîne les passages couverts. Vraiment très intéressant. Ils sont tous très différents et chacun a un charme particulier

(Translated by Google) Nice covered passage discovered by chance, to transport us out of time. (Original) Joli passage couvert découvert par hasard, pour nous transporter hors du temps.

Charming walk

One of the nicest passages in Paris

This is the Paris of Napoleon III, where the French were well educated, the ladies in crinolines and the gentlemen in hats, the Paris of French chic and where the whole world came to dream of culture and love. These covered passages which made it possible to cross all of Paris dry, were a brilliant technical invention from Louis-Philippe which combined modernity and charm. There remain some vestiges of these passages still somewhat preserved, as if forgotten by the filthy mass of tourists, globalized merchants and the bad taste of the liberal libertarian left. These passages, like oases outside of time, combine the calm, luxury and voluptuousness of ancient France, radiant and modern, rooted and eternal. This alliance has disappeared and now what is modern is ugly and destructive.

Lovely place to have an "old style" shopping experience. Nice boutiques in very well preserved galleries. Our favorite in Galerie Vivienne.

I visited the different covered passages. Beautiful architecture. Very original shops

(Translated by Google) Magnificent covered passages between the main boulevards, including the passage Verdeau built in 1847. These passages conceal real treasures, antique shops, old bookstores, a famous tea room... And so much more! It is a pity that in these historic places, for example, a Kilo shop, or a Casino (store) is set up. This distorts the spirit of the place. (Original) Magnifiques passages couverts entre les grands boulevards, dont le passage Verdeau édifié en 1847. Ces passages recèlent de véritables trésors, magasins d'antiquités, librairies anciennes, salon de thé réputé... Et tant d'autres choses encore ! Il est dommage que dans ces lieux historiques, s'installent par exemple un Kilo shop, ou un Casino (magasin). Cela dénature l'esprit des lieux.

Lot of shops to visit and a crowd!

Lovely area with beautiful architecture and lots of nice independent shops, great area to visit if the weather isn’t great.

Sweet discovery!

A timeless and pleasant place to do

Visit it when you're in Paris! It's nice to see, especially when it's raining, or too cold outside

Sublime visit to the covered passages of Paris. We learned a lot about their history with humor and simplicity

One time visit only. Not recommended

Certains de ces passages invitent à la rêverie ; d'autres sont un peu plus à l'abandon sans attrait majeur.
