GALERIE VIVIENNE

If you find yourself in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, then you should definitely visit one of the most historic passages in the city. It was opened at the beginning of the 19th century, specifically in 1823, so that it became one of the most commercial areas of the French aristocracy throughout the years. Walk and discover every corner of it. There you will find shops and restaurants to spend a wonderful day.

PASSAGE DU GRAND CERF

In the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, this arcade is located, which stands out mainly for its impressive glass ceiling that is 12 meters high! It was opened in 1825 and its name comes from the Hotel du Grand Cerf which was located on the same spot. It has great shops and great places to enjoy a wine.

PASSAGE DES PANORAMAS

It is between the 2nd and 9th arrondissements of Paris and very close to Galeries Lafayette. It is one of the oldest arcades in France, dating back to 1800. You can find great shops, restaurants and cafes. The Stern bistro is on the site of the legendary Paris printing house. Many Parisians who are stamp collectors visit the gallery because there they will find rare stamps.
