Covered passages of Paris

Niches between the grands boulevards and the animated streets, the hidden passages of Paris are truly treasured caches.

Apparues at the debut of the 19th century, these elegant galleries, offering a chic refuge and pratique at the edge of the rain and mud .

Today, strolling through the Passage des Panoramas, the Galerie Vivienne or the Passage de Jouffroy is like travelling back in time: mosaic floors, stained glass windows, old shops and confidential bookstores are juxtaposed in a hushed atmosphere.

The Passage Verdeau, bright and full of charm, naturally extends the Passage Jouffroy. The Véro-Dodat Gallery, more discreet, charming with its neoclassical columns and designer boutiques. And for the most curious, the Passage du Grand-Cerf, with its impressive height and spectacular canopy, is a jewel often overlooked.

These passages tell another story of Paris, more secret, away from the bustle of the avenues. 

We discover by taking the time to look up and marvel.
