Beyond the Eiffel Tower, or the Champs-Élysées, there is still mystery in this centuries old city. In order to make your visit to the city of romance more unique, here is a list of five mind-blowing secret spots you HAVE to see in Paris!

Les Passages Couverts de Paris

Walking through the streets of Paris you may find yourself suddenly indoors! Les Passages Couverts de Paris cover tea rooms, restaurants, as well as shops filled with all sorts of different products. No matter if you’re getting ready to move to France, or simply visiting on holiday, the Passage Couverts bring a little charm into your Parisian visit. Though they were built in the 19th century, these archways still make walking the streets a Paris a glimpse into magic. 

Passge des Princes

One of the oldest passages will lead you to the Théâtre de Variétés, a theater founded in 1802 and still going strong today (Passage de Panoramas)! While Passage Brady will take you through Little India, where you can find many Indian restaurants, shops, and so much more.

All and all, each of the Passage Couverts uncover a small part of Paris! So take a look at some Hotels in Paris near the Passages, or find some shops to visit as you stroll around. Discover them all by walking under these beautiful awnings.
