Paris still has about thirty covered passages. There were 150 in the mid-19th century. These shopping arcades, built between the late 18th century and the Second Empire, are the first shopping centers in history, long before American malls. Today, they offer a unique setting for corporate team building: unusual, steeped in history, and accessible in the heart of Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A covered passage is a pedestrian walkway opened between two streets, covered by a glass structure, and lined with shops along its entire length. They were designed at a time when Paris did not yet have sidewalks. These galleries offered strollers a refuge from muddy streets crowded with carriages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haussmannian renovations and competition from department stores led to the disappearance of most of them. Those that remain have largely been classified or listed as historical monuments. Today, they house restaurants, antique dealers, specialized bookstores, and artisan workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
