The Covered Passages
Glass-roofed arcades from the 1820s, built before the department store and mostly forgotten since.
Accessibility
Not documented. EuropeDoor holds no step-free access, hearing loop or accessible toilet information for any place, and inventing it would be worse than the gap — the position in full.
Getting there
The TGV network makes Paris–Marseille three hours and Paris–Bordeaux two. All of France →

Those are the three fields that go stale fastest and the three you are most damaged by being wrong about, so this site does not carry them at all rather than carrying an unverified version. Check the operator or the municipality on the day. The estimate of how long to give it, and the season, are editorial judgements and are usually stable.
What happens here
Experiences tied to this place, and how each one is tied to it — standing on it, starting from it, or looking at it.
Other places in Paris
Musée d'Orsay
Impressionism in a Beaux-Arts railway station, and a better single visit than the Louvre.
Père Lachaise
A walled city of the dead with its own map, 44 hectares, and better company than most parks.
Sainte-Chapelle
Fifteen windows of 13th-century glass holding 1,113 scenes, in a chapel built as a reliquary.
Musée Rodin
The sculptor's own house and garden, where The Thinker sits outside and the queue does not exist.
