Galerie de Valois, Long gallery in Palais-Royal, France.
The Galerie de Valois is a long covered passage within the Palais-Royal featuring stone arches and columns that run throughout its length of roughly 255 meters. The gallery connects different areas of the complex and provides a sheltered route with consistent classical architecture.
This passage was built in the early 19th century and became an important part of Paris' street network. It played a key role in connecting different parts of the city while remaining an integral feature of the larger Palais-Royal complex.
The gallery houses art galleries, fashion boutiques, and antique shops that reflect the traditional commercial character of the Palais-Royal. These establishments show how the passage has maintained its role as a place for trade in luxury goods and artistic objects.
The passage is located in the 1st arrondissement and offers covered access between Rue Saint-Honoré and Rue de Beaujolais. Several nearby metro stations make it easy to reach from other parts of the city.
The passage measures about 44 meters wide, making it one of the larger covered passages built during that period. This generous width allows many people to move through at the same time without feeling crowded.
