The Covered Passages of Paris were constructed in Paris primarily during the first half of the 19th century. They are called “Passages couverts de Paris” in French, which means pedestrian shopping streets covered with glass roofs.
There used to be more than 100 covered passages in Paris by the 1850s, but only about 20 passages remain today. I have picked out six of them for this photo book.
“LE VILLAGE ROYAL” which was included at the end of the book does not have a glass roof, but it has been attracting attention as a new Passage lined with brand-name stores.
This photo book shows characteristics of the passages with 70 sheets.

List of the passages included:
GALERIE VIVIENNE
PASSAGE VERDEAU
PASSAGE JOUFFROY
PASSAGE DES PANORAMAS
GALERIE DE LA MADELEINE
GALERIE VERO-DODAT
