The Passage is one of the best places to visit in Paris.

The name is one you may have heard before, but when you actually visit it, it is very different from what you imagined it to be.

Once you step inside, you even feel as if you have been transported back to the 19th century.

There are around 20 passages in Paris, but the one introduced here is in the 9th arrondissement, the busiest of them all.

It is also within walking distance of the Opera area, so access is not a problem.

It is also covered, making it very enjoyable even in bad weather.

This is a must-visit spot during your stay in Paris.

Now let me introduce you to some of them.

What is Passage?

Passages can simply be described as covered loopholes or shopping streets.

The first passages in Paris are said to have been created in 1784 during the redevelopment of the Palais-Royal.

The great popularity of the passages in the Palais-Royal led to the creation of many more in Paris, especially on the Right Bank.

Passage Feydeau, created in 1791, is said to be the first passage outside the Palais-Royal.

Passages, which were busy in the 19th century, have largely disappeared due to the influence of department stores, etc., and today only a dozen or so are said to remain.

Summary

We have introduced three passages in the 9th arrondissement of Paris.

Historically, the oldest is the Passage des Panoramas, but it is dominated by eating and drinking establishments and lacks another attraction as a tourist attraction.

Floors and interiors were not well maintained.

In the middle, Passage Jouffroy is the most recommended passage as it is very spectacular and crowded with lots of shops and people.

The other Passage Verdeau was less crowded but nicely maintained and therefore very pleasant to walk through.

This is a good passage for those who want to walk slowly and leisurely.

If you have time, we recommend walking around and seeing all the passages, but if you have limited time, please visit just Passage Jouffroy in the middle.

You will find a different Paris to the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre.

Thank you again for reading to the end of this issue.
