Step into the 19th century under the glass roof of Galerie Vivienne, one of Paris’s most stunning covered passages. Located near Palais Royal, this ornate arcade is lined with mosaic-tiled floors, gilded moldings, and boutique shops. You’ll find everything from rare books and designer fashion to fine wines and gourmet goods. Stop at a cozy tea room or just bask in the Belle Époque ambiance—it’s an ideal rainy-day activity and a beautiful slice of old Paris.
