After the lourve, opted to skip the long queue to watch the art pieces, we ventured around the nearby buildings.
Tourists walking around the Passage Richelieu conneting to the Lourve
Islamic arts at the Lourve ?
The route we shall visit is :
Passage Richelieu(blue), Cafe Palais Royale(green), Passage Vero Dodat (light blue), Bistro Richelieu(Purple), Shopping at Rue Cambon(yellow), Les Printemps(Euro)
Cafe Palais Royal situated at the corner. Nice.
19 Century famous shopping place, Galerie Vero Dodat.
Inside of Galerie Vero Dodat.
Nice fresco
Specialty shops at the galerie.
Like the floor tiles, very rustic feel.
Very balanced symmetrical design.
Galerie Vivienne next to Bistro Vivienne.
Inside Galerie Vivienne
These galeries offer covered shopping areas from rain and also provides a nice cosy place with lighting for the 19 century shoppers, these places are frequented by the upper middle class.
Very nice ambiance.
Must be a very high class place during the 19 century, even for now, it looks amazing.
The mosiac is marvelous.
Special mosaic.
Ample of sunlight to lighten the whole place.
Dome lighting.
We then went to a nearby park for a relaxing walk ...
Very serene park.
After a brief walk at the park, it is time for lunch. Surprisingly, we didn't have any plans for lunch, we just walked around and found this place.
Bistrot Richelieu serves nice lunch
Hmm, a guess, an appetizer with main course and dessert costs €19.50, you could choose a different pair, an appetizer with main course or main course with dessert at a lesser price.
Inside Bistrot Richelieu, small bar.
Simple but nice deco.
Probably a bit early, no customer inside.
Ordered a course with appetizer. Foie Gras, a challenge.
Beef steak with potatoes.
Cream spaghetti with potatoes.
Served with very nice apple pie and peanut butter ice cream.
Not forgetting the bagguettes
After the nice lunch, we visited another passage, Passage des Panoramas.
Very old feel, Passage des Panoramas.
Nice place to eat too.
Overall, a very rustic feel and nice visit to 19 century high end shopping place. And finally more shopping at Les Printemps
