Discovering the covered passages

Covered passages are enclosed shopping galleries that were built in France in the 19th century. They are often considered typical examples of the Haussmannian architectural style. They were originally designed to house shops and boutiques, but some are now used for cultural and tourist purposes. Covered passages are often decorated with glass windows, columns and mosaics, and they provide a protected space for pedestrians. They are considered typical of Paris and attract many visitors each year.
