"Galerie Vivienne is a covered shopping arcade, originally built in 1823 and designed by architect François-Jean Delannoy. It remains open to the public for shopping in a mix of high-end boutiques (Jean-Paul Gaultier opened his first flagship in the arcade in 1986, for example). The glass and steel roof lets in sunlight down to the mosaic floors, making this a uniquely beautiful way to shop and stroll on your way to the nearby Palais-Royal." - Julia Eskins, Melissa Liebling-Goldberg

One of the oldest passages and stores in Paris. You can smell the history in this place. You'll find a lot of stores here, and a very special library. It is a place you cannot miss when visiting Paris.

While you could describe Galerie Vivienne as a mall, the term would falsely evoke for Americans those structures which housed the Nordstroms, Sees and Barnes & Nobles of our bygone childhoods. On the other hand a 200 year old covered passageway like Galerie Vivienne adorned with ornate iron roof and decor is something different. It is an opportunity to stroll through shops, while imagining what old Paris was like when wealthy ladies would stroll through the passageways with their enormous bustled dresses, and they had husbands or lady servants who carry their parcels for them .

Between the inviting cafés and restaurants, it’s the perfect place to meet friends for dinner and savor a timeless Parisian moment.

Every thing about Paris is oh la la. Le Grand Colbert has fantastic food, just be prepared to wait for a table even if you have a reservation. Creme brûlée is amazing!

A must see in Paris though it gets really crowded on weekends. It embodies the French conception of traditional mall. Lots of interesting shops along the way. Expect high markups so it’s more for window shopping. Note some interesting book stores, designers and a provocative art gallery.

This historic covered passage and shopping arcade is a must visit while you are in Paris. Located in the second arrondissement, this passage has beautiful mosaic floor and covered with glass ceilings. Visiting this galerie can especially be a great alternative if you have to spend a rainy (or hot) day in Paris. There are plenty of options inside, including a variety of restaurants offering gourmet food and cafes. The passage is also adorned with interesting decorative designs and sculptures. It’s considered as one of the most glamorous covered passages in Paris, a Pompeian style masterpiece! Besides the art galleries, fashion boutiques, and wine tasting, should make special mention of the bookstore it houses – Jousseame, originally called Librariere Petit-Siroux, one of the original tenants of this passage. You should plan on spending at least a few hours in this passage, if not longer to take in the history, architecture, and everything else it has to offer, besides perhaps relaxing at a restaurant or café.
