Galerie Feydeau, Long gallery in 2nd arrondissement, France.

Galerie Feydeau extends for 60 meters in length and 32 meters in width, connecting Rue Saint-Marc to the Galerie des Variétés.

The gallery emerged during the early 1800s and underwent substantial development by 1834, reflecting the architectural evolution of Parisian passageways.

Located within Quartier Vivienne, this gallery represents the French tradition of covered passages that combine commerce and pedestrian circulation.

Visitors can access the gallery through multiple entry points at 10 Rue Saint-Marc, 11 Boulevard Montmartre, and 38 Rue Vivienne.

The gallery houses Caffè Stern, which received protection status as a historical monument in July 2009 due to its preserved interior features.

The most beautiful covered passages of Paris

The covered passages of Paris are major commercial inventions from the early 19th century. Built between 1798 and 1850, these galleries shield pedestrians from weather and street mud with glass and wrought iron roofs. Passages like the Passage des Panoramas, opened in 1799, were pioneers with gas lighting, while Galerie Vivienne (1823) features mosaic floors and neoclassical decorations. The Passage du Grand-Cerf stands out with a height of 12 meters under its glass roof. Today, around thirty passages remain in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th arrondissements. They host various shops: antique bookstores and fashion boutiques at Passage Choiseul, Indian restaurants and spice shops at Passage Brady, fabric vendors at Passage du Caire with Egyptian motifs. Galerie Colbert now houses two art research institutes. These galleries offer insights into a lesser-known part of 19th-century Paris commerce, preserving wooden facades, wrought iron railings, and period signage.
