Passage Balthus, Covered passageway in central Autun, France
The Passage Balthus features a glass ceiling, black and white floor tiles, and Renaissance-style decorative elements throughout its indoor corridor length.
Built in 1737 as an open-air market hall, the structure was transformed into a covered passage in 1848 by architect Palluet following urban modernization trends.
The passage maintains small shops on both sides of its walkway, reflecting the traditional French commercial gallery format found in many 19th-century cities.
Located between Rue aux Cordiers and Rue General Andre Demetz, the passage opens daily from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM except on Sundays.
The passage holds an official twinning arrangement with the Passage du Nord in Brussels, marking its status among European historical covered galleries.
