Passage Pommeraye
The Passage Pommeraye is a shopping arcade of the 19th century in Nantes . Louis Pommeraye had them built based on Parisian models from 1840 to 1843. The opening took place on July 4, 1843.
The Passage Pommeraye overcomes the considerable difference in level between Rue Santeuil and Rue de la Fosse (almost 10 m) by way of a monumental staircase decorated with figurative decorations. Architects were Jean-Baptiste Buron and Hippolyte Durand Gasselin . The passage has been classified as a Monument historique since 1976 and has been used for filming several times. Jacques Demy shot here for Lola , A Room in the City and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg , Jean-Loup Huber for The Beautiful Lili .
