In Paris, the term ‘passages’ refers to covered walkways through which one goes from one street to another by passing through one or more buildings, and which are intended solely for pedestrians. The shops there are splendid, well-stocked, but somewhat expensive. In bad weather, like the Palais-Royal, they serve as promenades and meeting places. They are generally lit by gas.

The1st arrondissement, modest in size, represents the historic and geographical heart of Paris; today, it is a district of museums and luxury boutiques. The Tuileries and Louvre Gardens, as well as the Palais Royal, managed by the State, make up for the limited number of municipal squares.
The 2nd arrondissement, the smallest in Paris, is livelier and more commercial. Formerly a financial district, it is now bustling with covered arcades, restaurants and businesses. The atmosphere is dynamic, friendly and very urban. It has only two municipal squares.
