I’ll take you through some of the most beautiful passages of Paris: Passage des Panoramas, Galerie Vivienne, Passage Jouffroy… And we’ll plunge back into the atmosphere of 19th century Paris.
You will also visit other passages little known to the general public, whose historical interest, just as important, will allow you to understand to what extent the passages have revolutionized the trade of the time and the life of the city.
