Overview
A perfect idea on rainy days, and beautiful during Christmas season, The Covered Passages are a series of 3 covered passages, lined with quaint boutiques (one specialized in second-hand art books). They were built at the end of the 19th century. Built before the invention of electricity, these covered passages are fashioned with glass roofs, adding to their unique atmosphere. Passing the Stock Exchange market you can walk over to the gardens of Palais Royal, where there is a covered walkway along the sides. In the afternoon you can see Parisian mothers with their children and young lovers and other types of folk strolling in the French-style gardens. At the other end is the Comédie Française and its café.
