Paris’s Most Stunning Covered Passages

Passage du Grand-Cerf (1825)

Located in the 2nd arrondissement between Rue Dussoubs and Rue Saint-Denis, Passage du Grand-Cerf is 117 meters long. Opened in 1825 on the site of the former Hôtel du Grand Cerf, it features a tall glass roof supported by metal structures, providing ample light. It houses artisan, design, and fashion shops.

The passage was restored in 1985 after years of neglect. In 2016, it gained the nickname "Bitcoin Boulevard" as many of its shops began accepting bitcoin payments.
