Even true Parisians remain fascinated by the Grands Boulevards – so much splendour concentrated in such a small area! But don’t just stop at window-shopping, for the neighbourhood has many other secrets to reveal. If you are looking for entertainment, you will not be short of memorable evenings to choose from – a night at the Opera or a Molière play at the Comédie Française; see a concert, or catch a film in one of the district's numerous cinemas…If you prefer shopping, then you will delight in the luxury of the rue Royale and the Place Vendôme, or everything under one roof in the big department stores situated side by side with floors and floors of goods to choose from – everything from home decoration to clothes and gourmet foods. Finally, should you yearn for a bit of tranquillity, then you don’t have to look very far to find the entrance to a quiet covered arcade that will rapidly transport you into another world.
