Description
Unearth the hidden treasures of Paris with ExperienceFirst as we guide you through the city's secret gems – the covered passages. Dating back to the 1700s, these charming arcades offer a delightful blend of shopping and culinary delights. Accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide, you'll unravel their secrets, explore their history, and discover the best places to shop and dine. Our journey kicks off at the Galerie Vivienne, a neoclassical-style covered passage that has graced the city since 1823. Now a national monument, it houses an array of luxury boutiques. From there, we'll venture to the Passage Choiseul, where over 600 feet of sunlit shops are nestled under a magnificent glass roof. Don't forget to glance down and admire the ornate tiled floor. Our tour continues at the Passage des Panoramas, the very first covered walkway in Paris, constructed over two centuries ago. Here, you can soak in its old-world charm and timeless architecture, all while your guide points out the finest artisanal shops and eateries. Next on our journey is the Passage Jouffroy, a narrower passage adorned with glass and iron accents. It even houses a quaint wax museum, which your guide will introduce you to. Our final destination is the Passage Verdeau, where antique dealers and vintage curiosities line the pathway. At each stop, your guide will unveil details you might otherwise overlook, share captivating historical tidbits, and recount the fascinating story of how these hidden passages became integral to Parisian fashion.Includes
