Using the metro and buses will make navigating the city much easier!

Make it Unique

Discover the covered passages filled with quaint shops and cafes.

These were constructed in the 1800’s as back then, the streets were narrow, dark, muddy and crowded, and very few had sidewalks or lighting; so they were very unpleasant for shopping. 

Now these Passages offer a unique Shopping experience, very connected to the history of the city! 

The oldest of these is Passage des Panoramas.
