Day 4: Paris - Private Walking Tour
Paris’ Wonderful Covered Passages Private Walking Tour
Your guide will take you through these secret passages and shopping arcades on a wonderful walk. The covered passages are a set of arcades constructed between buildings to improve traffic flow and to also create shopping galleries.
Located on the Rive Droite and near the main boulevards, these structures were created for wealthy clients. The passages had their heyday in the first half of the 19th century and were numbered to be more than 130 at that time.
They were abandoned following the construction of Hausmann’s great works and the emergence of department stores.
You will get to enjoy the beauty of these passages that have been finely preserved over the years while preserving their authentic side. During your walk, you will cross the 2nd and 9th arrondissement, explore and discover many emblematic passages among those still open and accessible to the public.
You will experience many places which you would probably have not known existed while listening to historical anecdotes related by your guide, about people who marked the history of France.
Day 5: Paris
Private Transfer from your Accommodation to Paris Airport
