Secret Covered Passages Tour in Paris

Unearth the hidden treasures of Paris with ExperienceFirst as we guide you through the city's secret gems – the covered passages. Our journey kicks off at the Galerie Vivienne, a neoclassical-style covered passage that has graced the city since 1823. 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. Next on our journey is the Passage Jouffroy, a narrower passage adorned with glass and iron accents which even houses a quaint wax museum. 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 and recount the fascinating story of how these hidden passages became integral to Parisian fashion.

Travel back in time to the heart of 19th-century Paris, the City of Lights, renowned for its timeless beauty and enchanting charm. You will discover a hidden world: a network of beautifully preserved covered passages that will immerse you in the Paris of yesteryear. Our tour invites you to explore these little-known gems where history blends with art and architecture. During this visit, you will uncover fascinating stories about the locations and solve puzzles to enjoy a playful experience within the covered passages. You will be completely independent: simply follow the itinerary and solve the puzzles using our app. No fixed date is required; you can complete this tour at your own pace. ⚠️Some passages are closed on Sundays (Passage des Deux-Pavillons, Passage Couvert Choiseul).

You may be surprised to read that, nestled amid Paris’ busy boulevards and avenues, hides an entire network of "passages couverts": indoor pedestrian streets that are lined with shops, restaurants, bars and boutiques!  Although most of these extensive passages no longer exist, there are still small parts of them that can be found throughout the city, and to this day they welcome shoppers and curious explorers.  With the help of a guide you'll navigate these multiple passages like a pro, learning about their origins and their role in the city.  Along the way you'll be able to window-shop, and pop into places such as bookstores, chocolateries, wine cellars and antique shops, to discover centuries-old treasures and traditions.  A tasting of wine is included on this tour, to make your Parisian experience truly special.
