Paris’s Most Stunning Covered Passages

Passage Jouffroy (1845)

The 140-meter long Passage Jouffroy was built in 1845 in the 9th arrondissement, connecting Boulevard Montmartre and Rue de la Grange-Batelière. It was the first in Paris constructed entirely of metal and glass, with only wooden decorative elements. It has ground heating.

The Musée Grévin's exit is inside the passage. Renovated in 1987, it kept its original paving and still showcases a glass canopy and geometric-patterned floor. Registered as a historic monument in 1974.
