Paris Covered Passages Walking Tour

Step away from Paris’s grand boulevards and discover the covered passages that reveal a quieter, more intimate side of the city. On this Paris Covered Passages Walking Tour, stroll beneath glass ceilings and through elegant historic galleries, where shops and cafés sit within beautifully preserved arcades.

The approximately 2 km route includes celebrated passages such as Passage Verdeau, Galerie Vivienne, and Passage des Panoramas, along with lesser-known corners loved by locals. A friendly guide shares the stories behind these distinctive spaces, bringing their history and character to life as you explore at a comfortable pace. The 90-minute walk offers an easy way to see a different side of Paris, with a live English-speaking guide. Please note that the Bibliothèque nationale de France is closed on Mondays.

Meet at the top of the metro stairs, lace up comfortable shoes, and set out to find the hidden galleries that make Paris feel full of surprises. Book your Paris Covered Passages Walking Tour and see the city through its secret arcades.
