Passage Puteaux
Opened in 1839 between rue de l'Arcade and rue Pasquier, Passage Puteaux is one of the smallest covered arcades in Paris: a few dozen metres under a discreet glass roof, well away from tourist routes.
It has lost its original shops and now mostly serves as a quiet shortcut in a busy business district. Its interest is that of an urban detail almost nobody notices. Tip: worth a look if you are already exploring the 8th, but not worth a detour on its own.
