Paris Covered Passages Small-Group Walking Tour with Wine Tasting
Description
You may be surprised to read that, nestled amid Paris’ busy boulevards and avenues, hides an entire network of "passages couverts": indoor pedestrian streets that are lined with shops, restaurants, bars and boutiques! Although most of these extensive passages no longer exist, there are still small parts of them that can be found throughout the city, and to this day they welcome shoppers and curious explorers. With the help of a guide you'll navigate these multiple passages like a pro, learning about their origins and their role in the city. Along the way you'll be able to window-shop, and pop into places such as bookstores, chocolateries, wine cellars and antique shops, to discover centuries-old treasures and traditions. A tasting of wine is included on this tour, to make your Parisian experience truly special.

This is a really great in-depth tour of a part of Paris that I had never seen despite being on 10+ trips. I think it’s a great tour for adults but not children at all. The tour guide was wonderful and knew lots of history about the spaces.

Louis was very friendly. If you only speak English, he can be hard to understand. This would be a tour if you are interested in finding more places to shop.

Our tour with Giles was great! He’s very knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning more about this historical part of Paris. We ended the tour in a lovely wine bar with a long family history. We enjoyed it very much!
