Passage de la Hutte-au-Garde

The Passage de la Hutte-au-Garde is a narrow private corridor in the 17th arrondissement connecting two main streets through a quiet residential area. The route runs roughly 70 meters long and allows pedestrians to cut through the neighborhood along its compact walkway.

The name comes from a hunting guard's hut that stood here in the 17th century when royal hunting grounds occupied the area. This memory of the neighborhood's countryside past remains embedded in the passage's name today.

The passage represents the evolution of Parisian urban planning, forming part of the redevelopment project known as ZAC Porte d'Asnières.

The passage is walkable but may have restrictions since it is a private road with limited vehicle access. Visitors should be aware that entry conditions can vary and local rules for private passages apply.

Next to the passage sits the Jardin Claire Motte, a planted garden that breaks up the narrow urban feel with greenery and outdoor space. This small garden offers people a quiet retreat in the middle of the densely built neighborhood.
