Description

A guided tour through the heart of a preserved historical heritage where creators and restorers perpetuate the Parisian lifestyle. Your stroll through the covered passages will begin in the garden of the Palais Royal, residence of the kings of France. You will then follow the path of the covered galleries, passageways where kings and princes once displayed their works of art.<br><br> A true symbol of pre-Haussmannian living, the Galeries Lafayette were very fashionable and highly sought-after at the time. Your guide will be sure to point out the sumptuous decorations that adorn the Galerie Vero Dodat, the Galerie Vivienne, and many others.<br><br> Now listed as national monuments, the covered passages will immerse you in a timeless atmosphere, far removed from the frenetic pace of Parisian streets. Today, they house all kinds of shops, a few remaining cafes, and restaurants. While the atmosphere is certainly different from that of the 19th century, one can easily discern the importance of appearances through the art of strolling and leisurely walks that prevailed at that time.<br><br> An intoxicating journey in the footsteps of a way of life that has now disappeared.<br><br> <b><li>Namely:</li></b><br> <b>The meeting place and contact details for Cultival customer service are shown on your ticket.</b><br><br> - Some galleries are closed on Sundays and public holidays.<br> - Wearing comfortable shoes is strongly recommended.<br> - In the event of inclement weather making the visit impossible, Cultival reserves the right to postpone the visit.
