Galerie de Beaujolais, Long gallery in Palais-Royal, Paris, France.

The Galerie de Beaujolais is a 70-metre-long, 3.3-metre-wide covered gallery inside the Palais-Royal in the 1st arrondissement, running along the north side of the gardens from the Péristyle de Beaujolais to the Péristyle de Valois. Its flat beamed ceiling rests on a row of square pale-beige stone pillars with dark bases, between which run black iron railings with gilded finials. Shopfronts with dark frames and gold trim line the opposite side, and the floor is paved with large stone slabs.

The gallery is a private way within the Palais-Royal, built in the 1780s by the architect Victor Louis at the request of Duke Philippe d'Orléans, owner of the site. It runs along the north side of the palace gardens, from the Péristyle de Beaujolais to the Péristyle de Valois, and the Passage du Perron links it to the parallel rue de Beaujolais between numbers 7 and 9.

The restaurant Le Grand Véfour, located within the gallery since 1784, remains a respected French dining establishment recognized with Michelin stars. The refined setting reflects the place's longstanding reputation for culinary excellence.

The passage offers shelter from the weather while you move through the first arrondissement and connect to different parts of the Palais-Royal complex. You can explore shops and cafés as you walk, making it both a practical route and a pleasant browsing experience.

The gallery houses the library-museum of the Comédie-Française, preserving centuries of French theatrical archives and documents. Few visitors realize this important cultural collection exists within the passage as they walk through.
