Today, these charming walkways house cafés, restaurants, and boutique retailers, particularly enchanting during the Christmas season with festive decorations and lights.
In the afternoon, we have options for you, including a personalized photo session in front of the Eiffel Tower, or you can choose from other experiences such as a Christmas shopping tour or a macaron baking class.
