Passage du Havre

Paris had almost 200 covered passageways ("les passages couverts" or "les galeries") in the 1800's. Today, 25 such passageways remain, mostly on the Right Bank, and this map guide includes the most well-known of these (not all 25). Covered passageways are icons of Paris, home to beautiful shops, captivating architecture, and tucked-away cafes. Wonderful to seek out on a rainy day, or to pop into and walk through if you're nearby on your Paris wanderings!

Walking 18,000 steps a day might sound like a lot, but it’s hardly noticeable when you're immersing in the sights and sounds of a beautiful city like Paris. Imagine strolling past cafes, boulangeries, shops, grocery stores, children playing in parks, and people walking their dogs. You can grab a croissant and coffee, sit in the park or by the Seine River to rest for a while, and then continue your walk. That’s what this itinerary is all about—no rush, just being in Paris, walking, and exploring all the places that ordinary tourists on buses, the metro, or in Ubers won’t experience. We're sharing our actual 6-day, 5-night thoughtfully paced Paris itinerary. I hope you find it helpful for planning your next trip! It’s detailed and will guide you to famous sights and some off-the-beaten-track places, places to eat, and tips to make your trip to Paris unforgettable.
