About the Covered Passages of Paris
The Covered Passages of Paris (Les Passages Couverts de Paris in French) are hidden gems in Paris, a world apart from the crowded tourist attractions or busy Grands Boulevards.
By the end of the 18th century, town planners created a labyrinth of commercial passages in Paris with beautiful stained-glass ceilings, mosaic works, and iron latticework, all bathed in natural light.
Apart from its dominating merchant role, the Paris passages were also the new bourgeois’ favorite stroll, the place to show up and socialize in its endless cafés, traditional bistros, or small theaters.

Over the years, only a few Paris walkways survived. Restored to their former glory, the Paris covered passages are today real Art Nouveau / Neoclassical architectural gems and if you know where to look, you will find a hidden world of delightful ancient boutiques, cute cafés, and other curiosity shops.
These charming and secret covered Passages in Paris are totally free to visit, and they are the perfect shelter for a rainy day in Paris but also a trip back in time to the wonderful Belle Époque.
The Covered Passages of Paris are one of our favorite secret places in Paris. Click here for the list of the most beautiful hidden places in Paris.

Best Covered Passages, Paris
Here is the list of the best passages in Paris, beautiful and elegant Paris walkways each unique in its own way:
1. Galerie Vivienne Paris – The Most Elegant

Adress: 4 rue des Petit-Champs, Paris 2; Metro station Bourse Line 3 or Palais Royal Musée du Louvre Lines 1 and 7.
Start your Paris Passages walking tour with Galerie Vivienne (also known as Passage Vivienne). Built in the 1820s in Paris 2, near the Palais Royal, Galerie Vivienne is one of the most beautiful covered passages in Paris, well known for the elegance of its boutiques. If you have time to visit only one Parisian walkway, choose this one.
Today Galerie Vivienne Paris gathers luxury boutiques, bookshops, fabric shops, and lovely Parisian cafés. Don’t miss its elegant architecture and the original mosaic floor with the names of the former businesses at the entrance of each shop.

» OUR MUST SEE’S: check the world-reputed Wolff & Descourtis (#18) for its cashmere shawls and fashionable fabric designs. Legrand Filles et Fils (1 rue de la Banque) is considered the best wine shop in Paris, with more than 3,000 labels (come with your wine tote bag). Librairie F Jousseamme (#45) is a beautiful bookshop with ancient editions and rare books, which also sells beautiful ancient postcards.
» THE PERFECT BREAK: Bistrot Vivienne (rue des Petits Champs), is a typical Parisian bistro with good traditional food. A Priori Thé (#35) is a lovely café and tearoom.
» GALERIE VIVIENNE OPENING HOURS: Every day from 10 am to 8 pm.
2. Galerie Colbert Paris – The Eternal Rival

Adress: 2 rue Vivienne, Paris 2; Metro station Bourse Line 3 or Palais Royal Musée du Louvre Line 1, Line 7.
As you can see on the Paris covered passages map above, the entrance to Passage Colbert (also known as Galerie Colbert) is on the same street as Galerie Vivienne so it is impossible to miss it! Actually, Passage Colbert (1826) was built to compete with Galerie Vivienne but in the end, it was less successful than its rival.
Don’t miss the richness of its neoclassical architecture, featuring a 15-meters diameter rotunda. Today, this covered walkway does not have any shops but it is interesting to visit for its history and elegant decoration. Passage Colbert hosts l’Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art and L’Institut National du Patrimoine.

» THE PERFECT BREAK: the restaurant Le Grand Colbert (2 rue Vivienne), with its unique Art Nouveau atmosphere, is perfect for a good meal or a hot chocolate in the afternoon.
» GALERIE COLBERT OPENING HOURS: Every day from 10 am to 8 pm.
3. Passage du Grand Cerf Paris – The Hidden Gem

Adress: 145 rue de Saint-Denis, Paris 2; Metro station Étienne-Marcel Line 4.
The Passage du Grand Cerf is one of the most beautiful covered passages in Paris. However, it remains one of the most secret Parisian passages because it is not easy to find.
The Passage du Grand Cerf was built in 1825 on the site of the Hôtel du Grand Cerf, from which it took its name. Its pleasing interior is home to many artisan shops and high-quality jewelry boutiques.
Don’t miss its spectacular 12-meter-high structure made of metal and wrought iron with a beautiful glass roof and its flourished balconies on the first floor.
» OUR MUST SEE’S: Eric et Lydie (#7), contemporary jewelry designers. Pour Vos Beaux Yeux (#10) specializes in vintage eyewear. Rickshaw (#7) sells curious objects from all around the world.
» THE PERFECT BREAK: Le Pas Sage (#1) is a wine bar perfect to finish your shopping in style.
» PASSAGE DU GRAND CERF OPENING HOURS: Monday to Saturday from 8.30 am to 8.30 pm. Closed on Sundays.
4. Passage des Panoramas Paris – The Oldest

Adress: 11 boulevard de Montmartre, Paris 9; Metro station Richelieu-Drouot Lines 8 and 9 or Grands Boulevards Lines 8 and 9.
Passage des Panoramas was built in the year 1799 and as you can see in the covered passages Paris map above, it is located between the districts of Paris 9 and Paris 2.
Passage des Panoramas is the oldest of the surviving Paris walkways and the first one illuminated with gas lamps in 1816. Its name comes from the two large rotundas built at the entrance of the passage (disappeared today) to display panoramic paintings of Paris, Toulon, Rome, Jerusalem, and other famous cities.
This labyrinthine passage is home to the Théâtre des Variétés which entertains the Parisians since 1807. But most of all, Passage des Panoramas is known for its philately shops. If you like old stamps, postcards, and coins, Passage des Panoramas is the place to go.
» OUR MUST SEE’S: the French engraving and printer Henri Stern (#47) set up business in this passage in 1834. Today the shop is working as a fancy café but you still can see the original details of the former shop. Check out the artists’ entrance to Théâtre des Variétés (#17). Tombées du Camion (#44) is a cute shop with interesting (sometimes weird) collectibles.
» THE PERFECT BREAK: Restaurant Noglu (#16), is one of the few gluten-free eateries in Paris. Enjoy some of the best French wines at Les Racines (#8) specialized in trendy natural wines. La Crêperie (#62) proposes yummy crêpes and ice creams.
» PASSAGE DES PANORAMAS OPENING HOURS: Every day from 6 am to 12 am.
5. Passage Jouffroy Paris – The Most Genuine

Adress: 10 boulevard de Montmartre, Paris 9; Metro station Grands Boulevards Lines 8 and 9.
If you want to know what these passages in Paris looked like during their heydays, Passage Jouffroy is the place to go. Crowded and packed with quirky boutiques, this Paris passage is always fun to walk. This is also the most touristy passage thanks to Musée Grevin, the Parisian version of Madame Tussaud’s, with the exit inside this passage.
Don’t miss its structure: this is the first Parisian walkway built entirely of metal and glass with the only exception of the decorative elements in wood. We also like the floor, paved with a geometric pattern composed of white, gray, and black squares.
» OUR MUST SEE’S: Pain d’Épices (#29) and La Boite à Joujoux (#41) are two old-fashioned toy shops worth a visit even if you don’t have kids. Quirky Segas (#34) specializes in antique walking sticks. Librairie du Passage (#48) proposes second-hand books and beautiful vintage posters.
» THE PERFECT BREAK: stop at Café Zéphyr (12 Boulevard de Montmartre) to enjoy a nice Art Déco atmosphere and eat a couple of cakes. And why not sleep inside the passage? Stay at charming Hôtel Chopin (#46) for a fashionable sleep, with good deals if you book in advance.
» PASSAGE JOUFFROY OPENING HOURS: Monday to Saturday from 8.30 am to 7.30 pm. Sunday from 10 am to 7 pm.
6. Passage Brady Paris – The Most Exotic

Adress: 43, rue du Faubourg-Saint-Martin, Paris 10; Metro station Chateau d’Eau Line 4 or Strasbourg Saint-Denis Lines 4,8, and 9.
Passage Brady, in Paris 9, is the most exotic of the Paris passages. It is easy to understand why Passage Brady is called ‘Little India’ by the locals: this colorful and perfumed Parisian walkway is full of Indian, Pakistan, Mauritian, and Reunion curry restaurants, spice shops, and bazaars.
Passage Brady was built in the year 1828 by the merchant M. Brady from whom it took the name. Passage Brady was originally a beautiful covered passage with an elegant rotunda to compensate for its irregular layout. During the Hausmanninan works, in 1854, the passage was cut to let the new Boulevard de Strasbourg pass.
Today only the part connecting rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis to Boulevard de Strasbourg is covered. Don’t miss the beautiful Art Nouveau inscription with the name of the passage at the entrance. The view from the eateries located on the first floor deserves a lunch break at Passage Brady.
» OUR MUST SEE’S: Épicerie Velan (#87) to buy Indian and Pakistani specialties (and any kind of species).
» THE PERFECT BREAK: La Reine du Kashmir (#80), a restaurant awarded by different Indian gastronomy prices.
» PASSAGE BRADY OPENING HOURS: Monday to Saturday from 9.30 am to 11.30 pm; Sunday from 6 pm to 11.30 pm.
7. Passage Choiseul – The Longest

Adress: 40 rue des Petits-Champs, Paris 2; Metro station Pyramides, Lines 7 and 14.
Passage Choiseul, in Paris 2, was named after d’Étienne-François de Choiseul-Beaupré-Stainville, War Minister, and Foreign Affairs Minister during King Louis XV’s reign. As you can see on the Passages Paris Map, this Parisian walkway is as long as this man’s name! Actually, with 190 meters in length, this is the longest of all the Paris passages.
Thanks to a deep recent restoration, the beautiful glass roof is now bathing the walkway with natural light. The first and second floors of this passage are occupied by shops while the third floor is mainly residential. The Thêatre des Bouffes Parisiennes (1857) has its secondary exit in the passage so there is a certain animation after the show.
» THE PERFECT BREAK: Go to Bio Burger (#46) for a fast-food break 100% bio. There is no better place to relax than the Zzen – Bar à Sieste (#29) where you can take a good nap.
» PASSAGE CHOISEUL OPENING HOURS: From Monday to Saturday from 8 am to 8 pm. Closed on Sundays.
8. Passage du Bourg-l’Abbé – Unique Atmosphere

Adress: 120 rue Saint-Denis et 3 rue de Palestro, Paris 2; Metro station Étienne Marcel, Line 4.
Passage du Bourg-l’Abbé in Paris 2 was built in early 1828 by the architect Auguste Lusson between the Passage du Grand Cerf and the Passage de l’Ancre. It formed a long walk that allowed shelter from bad weather and traffic.
Years later, the passage was amputated by several meters during the construction of Boulevard de Sébastopol and the construction of rue Palestro. The new entrance to the passage opening on rue Palestro was the work of Henri Blondel, the architect who also designed the Stock Exchange of Paris. The two caryatids that frame the entrance represent Industry (left) and Commerce (right). At the key, a hive, embedded in a cartouche, also translated the economic activity of the passage.

After the 1980s the passage was in very poor conditions. The commercial spaces did not seek to attract visitors or enhance the passage, they were used primarily as warehouses.
Victim of a fire in the 1990s, the place was almost abandoned until the condominium found the necessary funds for the restoration works. From 2002 to 2008, the passage was completely renovated and little by little, Passage Bourg-l’Abbé is trying to find its lost charm again.
» THE PERFECT BREAK: admire the soil, canopies, and interior facades with beautiful painted decoration. All these elements are listed as Historic Monuments and protected. At the end of the passage, a clock faces a barometer that no longer works.
» PASSAGE DE BOURG-L’ABBÉ OPENING HOURS: From Monday to Saturday from 7.30 am to 7.30 pm. Closed on Sundays.
9. Passage des Deux Pavillons – The Victim

Adress: 6, rue de Beaujolais, Paris 1; Metro station Bourse, Line 3.
Passage des Deux Pavillons is the shortest of all the Paris passages and it connects the gardens of Palais Royal in Paris 1 to rue des Petit-Champs in Paris 2. Passage des Deux Pavillons was built in 1820 by piercing one of the buildings and just like the building, it’s 33 meters long.
The current layout of this passage is a consequence of the eternal fight between the owners of Galerie Vivienne and Galerie Colbert to attract visitors.
Originally, this passage had a cross shape and from the gardens of Palais Royal, it was naturally ending in front of Galerie Colbert. The owner of Galerie Vivienne bought this passage and modified the layout to make it end just in front of his Galerie Vivienne.
Today Passage des Deux Pavillons continues to be an excellent shortcut to Galerie Vivienne and even if it is nothing exceptional, it is well worth a short visit now that you know its history!


Sleep in and Around the Covered Paris Walkways

Hotel Chopin Paris is located inside one of the most beautiful covered passages in Paris, the Passage Jouffroy.

02/13/2017 at 10:38 pmThis is what i’ve been looking for! I’ve been to Paris quite a few times and have only seen the touristic landmarks. At least now I know where to go to see the ancient architectural charm of Paris. <3

02/04/2017 at 10:29 pmThats a lovely and unique collection! I am sure in the yesteryears these must have been open street. I have seen at least one similar covered passage in Brussels.
Erica M Poyauan

Sandy N Vyjay
02/02/2017 at 9:34 amThese passages of Paris are indeed a revelation. A massive thanks for throwing light on these grand works of art, which they are in their own right. Will visit them next time we are there are in Paris. The first time around we were stuck to the traditional Parisian sights.

02/01/2017 at 11:25 pmThanks for sharing! I had no idea these existed. I’ll be visiting Paris soon with my little dog, and these look like an ideal indoor activity to do where he’ll be allowed.
WorldInParis
02/20/2017 at 10:46 pmI am not sure about the dog, Shandos! :-O
Marge
02/01/2017 at 11:06 pmI can get lost in these passages and I wouldn’t mind, they all looked beautiful and I am pretty sure that exploring them would be a thing for leisure. I like anything with a vintage feel, old places and things, they truly fascinate me and these passages have ’em so I can already imagine enjoying my time if ever I get there.
WorldInParis
02/25/2017 at 8:04 pmYes, they are beautiful, charming and some of them a little bit hidden . . . they give a sense of discovery somehow 🙂
Darlene
02/01/2017 at 5:06 pmWow it was like stepping back in time! I love how grand it seems. How I wish to walk these halls soon! Paris is ❤!
Revathi
02/01/2017 at 1:50 pmAll these spots are so beautiful, got an entirely different perspective of Paris. Such passages are truly paradise in my opinion and I would be happy to spend a lot of time here during my trip. PASSAGE BRADY would surely be my personal favorite 😀
WorldInParis
02/25/2017 at 8:05 pmRevathi, you should try something much more exotic for you 😀

Promise Chika Maxwell
01/31/2017 at 2:59 pmLegrand Filles et Fils, good to know where to go get the best wine in Paris should I find myself around in town. From your photo shots I think I prefer the “Passage Du Grand Cerf” with the interior decorations.
WorldInParis
02/25/2017 at 8:05 pmGood choice! I also like it a lot 🙂
Megan Jerrard
01/31/2017 at 1:42 amI loved exploring different commercial passage ways while we were in Paris – we would always stumble across them by accident. Though I had no idea that they had such historic significance and were once hidden!
Harsh Gupta
01/29/2017 at 4:38 pmThanks for acquainting us with these passages as we would be heading to Paris in August. Passage des Panoramas looks gorgeous!
Anne
01/29/2017 at 4:23 pmThese galleries look gorgeous. There’s some Victorian galleries like these in Leeds in Yorkshire too and it’s like stepping back in time.
WorldInParis
01/30/2017 at 10:32 pmBeautiful, isn’t it? Cool that you had some also in the UK 🙂
Toni | 2 Aussie Travellers
01/29/2017 at 8:52 amThe covered malls with all their artistic detail are stunning. I’m not much of a shopper when I travel but I’m sure I could be persuaded to pass some time in any or all of these although I would have to agree with you on the elegance of gallerie Vivienne.
WorldInParis
01/30/2017 at 10:33 pmIf you are not a shopper you can also come for a café et croissant 😉
Rhonda Albom
01/29/2017 at 12:04 amThey are so old and so beautiful. I had no idea these existed, but wish I had when we visited Paris. I would love to just stand at one end and stare (with my camera) for a while. The floors and ceilings are amazing. Thanks.
WorldInParis
02/25/2017 at 8:09 pmRhonda maybe there will be a next time for you in Paris, and next time thanks to this post you will have all these passages on your map 😉

Indrani
01/28/2017 at 12:05 pmWhat a pity… I have toured Paris yet I have not been to any of these covered passages. They are really interesting lined with the boutique shops as you say. Book shops here will be treasure houses of knowledge I am sure.
WorldInParis
03/01/2017 at 8:45 pmThe bookshops are really beautiful, especially those that I am showing on the pictures 🙂

01/28/2017 at 9:34 amI’ve still never been to Paris! This post makes me want to really consider going! Great photos. I hope to see some of these when I do finally make it there.

Kerri
01/23/2017 at 10:59 pmOh I just love these. Have spent much time exploring these when I find them, and looking for new ones. The ones down in St Denis are a bit past their used by date but you’ve picked the beauties here. My fave is the Panoramas – the book stores and old coin/stamp collecting places in here are incredible. I remember a lovely morning tea here too.
WorldInParis
01/24/2017 at 12:27 pmThanks Kerri for your comment. From what you tell, I think you know more about Parisian covered passages than me! 🙂

01/22/2017 at 5:32 pmWow, I never thought such passages existed. This is a great article, eye-openers, all!
Brianna
01/22/2017 at 3:04 pmThese are beautiful, and look like they’d be really fun to photograph. Is there a good time to go when there aren’t many people?
WorldInParis
01/24/2017 at 11:28 pmIf you want to avoid the crowds go on weekdays early in the morning or early in the afternoon. Avoid going around lunchtime (some of them have many little restaurants, perfect for a lunch break) and of course on Saturday.
Nic
01/22/2017 at 2:36 pmGreat list, this is one of the things I love about Paris, despite it being very touristy at time there is the real Paris lurking there to be found! A little but like Venice in many way, especially these passageways!
Corinne
01/22/2017 at 8:19 amSuch a great post for the winter! I think Paris can be charming, but boy it also gets cold. Love this. I will be adding them to my Paris list.
