Itinerary
The covered passages are a network of streets running parallel to the traditional ones. We will discover a combination of hidden paths by starting with the smallest of the passages: the Passage Verdeau.
We will then walk in this must-see passageway, one of the 20 only left in the city. Discover its hidden traditional restaurants and small boutiques and learn about its history with your local guide.
See the Oval room of the Bnf Richelieu, the French National Library.
The most stunning and prestigious gallery in the city was built in 1823 and is still enjoyed today by Parisians. Walk through it and take unique photos.
This royal palace hides a history of scandals and secrets where we now enjoy gardens, columns, and peacefulness. We will explore it together and learn all the stories that date back to the 1600s.
We continue this tour with a rich passageway. Made for the rich and still loved by the Parisian bourgeoisie, discover what makes this small village inside the city unique.
We will walk a little in the narrow streets of Chatelet before reaching this passage high of 12 meters. This is the perfect place if you are looking for jewelry or artisans shop.

About Paris
Paris pairs grand boulevards and riverside monuments with café terraces, art collections of global stature and neighbourhoods that feel like villages.
The Seine runs through the heart of the city, past the Île de la Cité with Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle, the long façade of the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay in its former railway station. Downriver, the Eiffel Tower rises over the Champ de Mars, and the Arc de Triomphe crowns the Champs-Élysées.
