The Itinerary

PASSAGE VERDEAU

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.
PASSAGE DES PANORAMAS

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.
GALERIE VIVIENNE

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.
PALAIS ROYAL

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.
PASSAGE DU GRAND CERF

We will walk a little in the narrow streets of Chatelet before reaching this last passage high of 12 meters. This is the perfect place if you are looking for jewelry or artisans shop.
