Paris’s Most Stunning Covered Passages
Passage Verdeau (1847)
Passage Verdeau, in the 9th arrondissement, is 75 meters long and was built in 1846 by the Société du Passage Jouffroy. It connects Rue de la Grange-Batelière and Rue du Faubourg-Montmartre, extending from the Passage Jouffroy.
The gallery has a bright, neoclassical design with a high fishbone-patterned glass roof. Once overlooked, it gained popularity when antique dealers settled in after the opening of Hôtel Drouot, drawing collectors of old books and postcards.
