Paris Covered Passages Private Tour

Step into a quieter side of the city on a Paris Covered Passages Private Tour, where glass roofs, intricate ironwork, and patterned floors preserve the atmosphere of 19th-century Paris. These elegant arcades were early shopping galleries and lively meeting places for writers, artists, and fashionable locals.

With a private guide, explore six of the city’s most beautiful and historically rich passages. Learn how more than 180 once stood across Paris and why only about 25 remain after Baron Haussmann’s renovations. Along the way, discover the stories behind their architecture and social life, and enjoy coffee or tea. The route includes Passage des Panoramas, the oldest arcade in Paris, where you can linger over its distinctive character. The passages also offer a sheltered way to explore on a rainy day.

Begin across the street from the Comédie Française and let the arcades reveal a different rhythm of the city. Book your Paris Covered Passages Private Tour to experience these atmospheric landmarks with a guide.
