42 Best Things to Do in Paris

"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

"Shopping passages were builtin the 19th century to give Parisians protection from muddy streets and horse-drawn vehicles. Galerie Vivienne is a beautiful restored 19th-century passage with entrances at the Rue des Petits-Champs, Rue de la Banque, and Rue Vivienne. Built in 1823 ina neoclassical Pompeian style thatincludes a gorgeous canopy and isdecorated inside with ​​mosaics, paintings, and sculptures, Galerie Vivienne's most famous resident is the Jean-Paul Gaultier shop. Somepassage entrances are easy to miss, so be on the lookout! Astroll through these fascinating galeriesis a fun and freeactivity on a rainy day."

beautiful historical covered passage full of Parisian charm. Located opposite the National Library, this elegant gallery dates back to 1823 and feels like stepping into 19th-century Paris. The vaulted glass roof, intricately ornate mosaic floors with geometric patterns, and charming boutiques create a neoclassical atmosphere with a romantic touch. With antique shops, bookstores, cafés, and restaurants, we enjoyed looking around and strolling before heading to a restaurant reservation we had with my husband.

I would say that the best part of this place is its architecture. There are choices of store and cafe but sometimes it can be too crowded. A nice place to visit if you also plan to go to the national library accross the street.

The Vivienne Gallery is located opposite the National Library and connects Rue Vivienne and Rue des Petits-Champs. Opening date: 1823. It is often mentioned in the works of various French writers. The vaulted glass roof, the marble floor with geometric patterns, among which the octagonal star stands out, the elegant facades of boutiques. These are antique shops, bookstores, cafes — they try to create an entourage in the historical spirit of the 19th century. We can say that it is neoclassicism with elements of romanticism.

One of the most beautiful covered passages in Paris. There are cafes and antiques stores with very interesting souvenirs, a nice place to wander on cold and rainy days. I've visited on a Sunday afternoon and most of the stores were closed, anyway a wonderful gallery with lots of history.- Analía Croci

Underwhelming. The selection of shops was not great. Pretty venue but bit worth the hype.

One of the most special places in all of Paris! Now with the addition of new restaurants it's even more special than ever before, great shops, great food, relaxing, Paris at its very best. Stroll throughout and stop in and visit a few boutiques and then decide your food option and follow with an afternoon drink, just a perfect lunch destination! Perfect!

The reviews made this sound a lot larger than it was. There weren't many shops and half weren't open when we went. It's a pretty building but it's not quite like the descriptions.

Galerie Viviene was built in 1823 and is registered as a historical monument. Located near the Bourse (the stock exchange), the Bank of France, Palais-Royal, and behind Bibliothèque Richelieu. The entrance on Rue des Petits-Champs of this iconic covered arcade is gorgeous along with a spectacular mosaic created by a 19th century artist. The décor was influenced by Pompeii. Boutiques, book stores, and cafes are located inside. Opening times of shops are usually 08:30-20:30.

Enjoyed the art work. It's difficult to take pictures. Lots of walking. The area has some neat shops.

Beautiful to stroll through if in the area. I wouldn't necessarily seek it out, but if in the area, it is stunning to see. We were on our way to the Opera House and stumbled upon it. Some stores were a bit expensive, some were reasonable. Great place to stroll if caught in a Paris rainstorm.

Beautiful interior design, however nothing was open and I went during a weekday during work hours. Quite disappointing.

One of the more elegant vintage shopping arcades in Paris. With restaurants, high end shops.

I also bought a large designer bowl with silk red flowers in a gel setting. It is milky in color, not clear at all. I still love the Art Work but think Emilio Robba should replace my bowl and use this experience as a learning experience on the product that is used to hold these silky flowers in place is not working. I do not no how to get someone to assist . That was about $300 down the drain. Olivia
