The Most Beautiful Parisian Covered Passage ✯ Our Exit Stories ✯

Title:

Description:

Built in 1823 behind the Richelieu library, and at a short walking distance from the Palais-Royal, the geographical location of the Galerie Vivienne soon made it one of the must-see places of Paris.

Despite a drop in the number of visitors by the end of the Second Empire – as for every other covered passage – it has never fallen into oblivion and it even gained a renewed interest from the public in the 80s when it welcomed Jean-Paul Gaultier’s very first workshop. Even though he moved in 2014, the Vivienne gallery has managed to be sustainable. The caduceuses, anchors, horns of plenty, goddesses and nymphs adorning the rotunda were restored in 2016.

Its neoclassical Pompeian style, colourful mosaics and high glass roof turned it into an iconic Parisian place.

It is the home of many fashion and designer stores, bouquinistes, coffee shops and restaurants.

You can eat at the Bistrot Vivienne – they serve only home-made dishes made from fresh in-season ingredients – or have a cup of tea with a slice a cheesecake at the A Priori Thé teahouse.

Entrance: 5 rue de la Banque, 75002, Paris
