Grands Boulevards - What To Know BEFORE You Go

The Basics

The district encompasses a large area, roughly from Place de l’Opera in the 9th arrondissement to Porte St Denis in the 10th district, and has a wealth of shopping and entertainment opportunities ranging from high-brow and designer to mass-market and wholesale. Peruse the finery at legendary stores Galeries Lafayette and Au Printemps. Take in an opera at the National Theater of the Opera Comique, a blockbuster at Grand Rex, or cabaret at Folies Bergère. See the astonishingly realistic wax figures at Musée Grévin, or catch French comedian Olivier Giraudan’s popular comedy show at Théâtre des Nouveautés.

Glass Passageways and Arcades

While you’re exploring the neighborhood, look for the glass-covered passageways and arcades created around the turn of the 19th century to keep the upper crust denizens dry as they shopped. An architectural style unique to Paris, and especially to Grands Boulevards, each pedestrian passageway has its own character, whether it be a particular ethnic focus, wholesale goods, or designer clothing. Many have tea rooms, cafés, and restaurants.
