Passage Agard, Pedestrian corridor at Cours Mirabeau, Aix-en-Provence, France
The covered passage connects the Cours Mirabeau with Place du Palais de Justice through a direct path lined with several commercial establishments.
Félicien Agard established this passage in 1846 on the grounds of the former Grands Carmes convent, which he partially owned at that time.
The passage represents a typical 19th-century urban planning solution that integrated commercial spaces with pedestrian circulation in French city centers.
Located at 55 Cours Mirabeau, the passage closes each evening with security gates and contains twelve commercial spaces plus residential units.
A property company purchased the passage in 2020 for 12 million euros, initiating a transformation project involving historians and architects.
