200 years ago, Paris had nearly 150 covered passages! Frozen in time since the 1800s, these glass-roofed & paved arcades were originally created for the nobles to enjoy a stroll and a little shopping, away from the sun and rain.
Put on the boots of a 19th century Parisian to stroll through the Royal Palace and the most beautiful passages!
