The covered passages have an incomparable charm. Witnesses to the history of Paris, they were the place where you had to be seen at the beginning of the XNUMXth century. Do not hesitate to raise your head to discover the sublime glass roofs which overhang them or to look down to admire their intricate tiling. If they were once specialized in one area, today the covered passages are diversifying and offer a wide choice of shops and restaurants. The perfect refuges for a winter walk!
The Passage of the Princes
