Today’s walking tour covered the Passages of Paris, those arcades or covered shopping ways made from alleyways in the 1800’s – some of which are renovated and lively, others pretty much left alone. Along these passages you can find boutique shops, toy stores, brocante and antique shops, restaurants and tea rooms.<\/p>\n
