Passage Jouffroy · 10-12 Bd Montmartre, 75009 Paris, France

 

The Passage Jouffroy was inaugurated in 1847 to take advantage of the success of the neighboring Passage des Panoramas.
It is aligned with it but also with Passage Verdeau which exits on the northern pavement of rue de la Grange Batelière.
It takes its name after its developer, Felix de Jouffroy, Comte de Gonsans.
Restaurants, seamstresses, tailors, hairdressers, and countless proximity shops opened at once and drew the crowds.
One of the largest covered galleries in Paris, and the first to have a floor heating system, it was also one of the last created in Paris. It starts as a long corridor, then double bends towards the entrance on rue de la Grange Batelière to adapt to the declivity of the land. The entrance on Boulevard Montmartre was cut through a mansion and eventually replaced by the current Hôtel Ronceray.

This is the most utilized entrance.

 

After sunset, the shops glow in a sea of lights.

 

There were some stores where photography was prohibited, so I stopped taking pictures and just browsed and shopped.
The stores here are a great place to buy some very unique items. I also liked that the prices weren't as high as I expected. 

This is a great place to visit at least once. (Not necessarily)

 

I did a Google search and found a YouTube video that might help.
