Among the many passages and galleries in Paris, the passage Vivienne is one of the most iconic. Built in 1823 and situated just steps away from the Palais Royal, the gallery is very well-known for its beautiful floor mosaic and glass rooftop.
"Stepping into the passage Vivienne feels like you have gone back in time. The atmosphere is extraordinary. I highly recommend simply walking around and stopping in the Jousseaume bookstore to admire their collection of old books, or otherwise having a coffee to admire the fabulous architecture."

The rue de Rome crosses the 8th and 17th arrondissements of Paris. It begins at the Boulevard Haussmann just behind the department store Le Printemps and continues to the Pont Cardinet station.
The street is particularly known for its many stringed instrument makers and music stores.
"I have played the piano for years now and rue de Rome is a true gem for those looking for original scores. I love to spend an afternoon browsing the windows of the music stores to admire the beautiful craftsmanship of the instrument makers, a musicians heaven!"
