Les passages couverts parisiens - visite guidée

Your walk will begin opposite the Comédie Française to discover where the very first covered passage stood, now vanished. We will then cross the gardens of the Palais Royal to take the arcades, former passageways first of kings and then of revolutionaries. You will retrace the footsteps of emblematic figures such as Vidocq or Nana, while your guide shows you how to decode the mythological or decorative symbols of the Verot-Dodat and Vivienne galleries. We will finish on the Grands Boulevards, near the theatres, the Grands Magasins and the Opéra, where fashionable Parisian society loved to show off its finest attire.
