Passage des Deux-Pavillons, Covered passage in Palais-Royal district, Paris, France
Passage des Deux-Pavillons is a covered walkway in the Palais-Royal district that links two streets by passing through a narrow corridor with a glass roof. The passage provides shelter from weather while crossing the neighborhood.
The passage was created in 1820 as a shortcut through this neighborhood of central Paris. A plan to demolish it for road expansion never went forward, allowing this small corridor to survive to the present day.
The passage represents the architectural style of early 19th-century Paris with its glass ceiling and connects to the neighboring shopping galleries.
The passage is easy to walk through and serves as a convenient shortcut between the two neighboring streets. The glass roof above keeps you dry if rain arrives while you are crossing.
The name comes from two matching pavilions at its entrance on Rue de Beaujolais, which give this passage its distinctive character. These small structures are a defining feature that many visitors overlook.
