Passage Verdeau
Opened in 1846, the Passage Verdeau extends northwards the chain formed by the Panoramas and Jouffroy passages, making one of the longest covered routes in Paris. Its sawtooth glass roof, higher than its neighbours', casts a very soft light on the tiled floor.
Less commercial and far quieter, it has remained the preserve of antiquarian booksellers, print dealers, stamp specialists and second-hand camera shops. Tip: save it for last, walking up from the Panoramas; it closes earlier than the others and many shops stay shut on Monday mornings.
