Cité de Trévise

Cité de Trévise is a private residential passage spanning 190 meters long and 7.6 meters wide, lined with apartment buildings on both sides. A central planted courtyard with a fountain runs through the middle, creating an open gathering space that breaks up the length of the corridor.

The residential complex was built in 1840 under architect Édouard Moll's direction as a private living community for affluent Parisians. The design included gated entrances at both rue Bleue and rue Richer to control access and ensure privacy for residents.

The covered walkways and shared courtyard create a tight-knit living space where residents naturally cross paths throughout their daily routines. This enclosed design has fostered a strong sense of community among those who live here.

You can enter from rue Richer or rue Bleue, with Cadet metro station on line 7 nearby for convenient public transport access. The passage is easy to walk through on foot since it is flat and sheltered from the weather along its full length.

A German bombing raid on March 8, 1918 struck building number 22, leaving permanent damage visible on the structure's stone walls. The marks from this wartime event remain faintly visible to visitors who look closely at the building's facade.
