Passage Brady, Covered passage in 10th arrondissement, Paris, France.
Passage Brady is a covered walkway in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, stretching about 216 meters between two streets beneath an iron-and-glass roof structure. The narrow corridor with its vaulted ceilings contains shops and restaurants lining both sides.
The passage was built in 1828 by merchant Brady and was divided in 1854 when Boulevard de Strasbourg was constructed through it. This split created two separate sections that remain today.
The passage hosts numerous Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi restaurants and shops that shape the neighborhood's character. The aromas and languages create a space where visitors experience the cosmopolitan side of Paris directly.
Access comes through several entrances, with Boulevard de Strasbourg marking the covered section while Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis serves the more open area. Walking through takes only a few minutes and offers shelter from street traffic.
Supermarket Bazar Velan opened in 1973 as the area's first Indian grocery store, stocked with fresh spices and religious items. This shop marked the start of the Indian presence that would eventually define the passage.
