I
love the little passages that are hidden in the labyrinth of streets
in Paris, because they seem to be stuck in another time - they were
built in the 19th century and their structure has basically stayed
the same since. I went to the Passage Jouffroy and
the Passage Verdeau, which are located in the 9th
arrondissement, parallel to the Boulevard Montmartre. I rarely go in
this area of Paris, but whenever I do I just have to cross these
little passages to have a look at the little shops that you can find
there.
Passages
are either full of restaurants or of antiques shops dedicated to
objects of Art or collection. You can find books, old coins,
postcards, paintings, or even dollhouses (and everything you can buy
to bring these houses to life). In the area is also the Musée
Grévin, which is the French version of Mme Tussauds, but which I
would not particularly recommend because it is quite small and the
wax figures are not the most exciting. Also, I don't have a picture
for it but in the passage Jouffroy is a shop that sells only walking
sticks. Just telling you in case you might need one (who knows)!
The
first photos of this post were however taken in the surroundings of
the Grand Palais, near the Champs Elysées - again, a
place I rarely go to. I tend to stay around the Tuileries gardens,
the Louvre and so on, but the atmosphere in these other areas of
Paris is very different and nice too.
If
you'd like to see what the 'old Paris' looked like, in the 19th and
20th century, then the passages are places that you must visit! As
for me, I'll be going there with a purse full of money, to get myself
some cool books and postcards.
Have you ever visited Parisian passages? Did you know about them?
Lots of love,
