Passage Molière, Historic passageway in 3rd arrondissement of Paris, France.

The passage extends 46 meters in length with a width of 2.75 meters, connecting rue Saint-Martin to rue Quincampoix through a paved pathway.

Originally named passage des Sans-Culottes and passage des Nourrices, this covered walkway was established in 1791 during significant urban development in Paris.

Named after the French playwright Molière, the passage maintains its connection to literature with the Maison de la Poésie theater located at its entrance.

The passage underwent extensive renovation between 2017 and 2022, resulting in 34 social housing units and 9 commercial spaces, including a literary café.

The building numbers follow an unusual pattern, starting on the right from rue Saint-Martin and continuing sequentially westward before reversing at the opposite end.
