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

Walked in without a reservation. We were greeted immediately and shown to a table. Very nice cozy setting. My dry sausage was tasty as well as my partner’s onion soup. We both had steak and fries which was okay. Prices are moderate and the food reflects that. Not the best quality but food that will satisfy you.

Well architecturally beautiful but there were almost very few shops operating. Most of the shop spaces are vacant there. But i would recommend to have a walk through and click pictures as it has a beautiful interior. Takes just 10-15 mins for the entire walk with picture clicking .

Galerie Vivienne is just the beginning of an absolutely beautiful and remarkable historic covered thoroughfare of eclectic shops, hidden hotels, small museums and numerous bistros remarkably preserved. This could almost be a full day's walk as you head north to DES PANORAMAS, JOUFFROY and VERDEAU.

One of the oldest covered passages in Paris. It’s like walking thru history. Beautiful structure with the most charming shops. The floors have stunning mosaic work & tiling. It was so breathtaking in the morning with the light flooding in. Very peaceful.

A cute and beautiful hidden gem in Paris, definitely worth to visit. With small shops and coffee shops, Galerie Vivienne has the parisian charm that you won't find in the touristy places.

One of the oldest passages and stores in Paris. You can smell the history in this place. You'll find a lot of stores here, and a very special library. It is a place you cannot miss when visiting Paris.

While you could describe Galerie Vivienne as a mall, the term would falsely evoke for Americans those structures which housed the Nordstroms, Sees and Barnes & Nobles of our bygone childhoods. On the other hand a 200 year old covered passageway like Galerie Vivienne adorned with ornate iron roof and decor is something different. It is an opportunity to stroll through shops, while imagining what old Paris was like when wealthy ladies would stroll through the passageways with their enormous bustled dresses, and they had husbands or lady servants who carry their parcels for them .

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 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.

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.

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
