Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Le Charme Parisien Des Passages Couverts, 75001 Paris France

Your guide will first take you on a journey away from the crowded shopping streets and into a more hidden side of the city, where Parisians would shop in what were the precursors of today’s shopping malls. Discover elegant passages, once lit by some of the first electric or gas lighting in the city, richly decorated and today still home to charming boutiques and brasseries as they were then, with café tables spilling out into the passageways. Covered with glass roofs to avoid the winter weather, they are the perfect place to explore during the holiday season.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Jardin du Palais Royal, 6 rue de Montpensier, 75001 Paris France

Then it’s back onto the bustling Parisian boulevards, as we visit the Galeries Lafayette, one of the most splendid old department stores in Paris, renowned for its dazzling glass dome, and the imaginative and often spectacular Christmas tree that is installed under it each year. French children come here to gaze at the wonderful window displays - join them and be enchanted by the holiday magic!
