Covered passages rose in the late 18th and 19th centuries as sheltered shopping arcades using cast iron and glass, reshaping Parisian social life and retail habits.
The passages are fragile historic interiors; support local shops, avoid touching fragile displays and keep noise low to preserve both businesses and heritage features.
