" Passage Jouffroy and Verdeau"
Passage Verdeau is located between 6 rue de la Grange – Batelière and 31 bis rue du Faubourg Montmartre, in a mixed residential business district near the Grands Boulevards . In this area, a short distance from each other, you will find most of the surviving passages in Paris: Passage Jouffroy and Passage des Panoramas , both in the 9th arrondissement, Passage Brady and Passage du Prado , both in the 10th arrondissement and Passage du Caire in the 2nd arrondissement .
The Passage Verdeau can be described as an extension of the Passage des Panoramas and the Passage Jouffroy , because you leave one passage, cross a street and immediately enter the next passage. These three passages are lined up one behind the other and the idea of the 19th century to put the strollers in a special atmosphere in a specially created environment can still be experienced today.
Grands Boulevards is the nearest metro station with lines and .

history
The Passage Verdeau is the extension of the Passages Panoramas and Joffroy and was built in 1846 by the Société du passage Jouffroy . It was always in the shadow of the two neighboring passages, as it does not have access from the Grands Boulevards like the others . It has a high glass roof and is very bright, the decor takes on the style elements of neoclassicism .
The proximity to the Hôtel Drouot , an auction house for art, has meant that second-hand bookshops and art dealers in particular have settled in the passage. A photo shop has existed here since 1901.
