Galerie Charles d'Orléans, Heritage gallery in the Palais-Royal district, Paris, France.
Galerie Charles d'Orléans is an arcaded gallery in the Palais-Royal complex defined by a sequence of Doric columns that divide the space into distinct bays. The passage connects different sections and hosts rotating art exhibitions and performances throughout the year.
The gallery replaced an earlier wooden passage from 1786 when the current stone structure was built in 1829. This shift marked the transition from a purely commercial space to a mixed-use venue.
The gallery takes its name from its historical patron and functions today as a public gathering space where visitors move freely among the arcades. The covered passages create a sense of continuity with Paris's tradition of elegant indoor shopping galleries.
The gallery is located in the 1st arrondissement and offers free public access with no admission barriers. The open arcades allow visitors to enter and exit from multiple points, making it easy to explore at your own pace.
The gallery once had a glass roof covering the entire passage until 1935, when it was removed to create an open courtyard. Modern sculptural fountains were added years later to enhance the space.
