In these galleries of more than 2 centuries old, safely tucked away from the outside world, we will trace the footsteps of the French bourgeoisie of the beginning of the industrial era. Many of these old covered passages have remained untouched since the beginning of the 19th century. Ancestors of today’s shopping malls, they represent the passage of a medieval Paris to a new urban period.
