This tour is not just a walk through pretty arcades. It follows the hidden shopping world that came before department stores in the transition period after the French revolutions. It's a slower paced, intimate, and alternative tour for guests who prefer something a little bit different to the typical tourist.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Meet directly outside the Cadet Metro station (line 7 - pink), in front of the McDonalds. Cadet Metro has one exit and is on the same corner as bus route 85.
We will finish on an intersection of cafes and restaurants right opposite the Louvre. Nearby are two metro lines, bus stops, plus options for food and shopping.
