HOTEL NEAR

The Passage Jouffroy leaves from Boulevard Montmartre and although it is one of the most important galleries in Paris, it was one of the last ones to open, specifically in 1846. Perhaps for this reason, it is also known for being the first to use metal and glass in its skylights and to have central heating.

When you enter inside the building, you will be surprised to see natural light entering through its glass ceiling. There are 140 metres of passage designed by Destailleurs and Romain de Bourges for the Parisians’ shopping sprees. Although the decoration may seem a little sober to you, you will be surprised by the colour and charisma of its shops. Walking calmly around and nosing about in the shops is an excellent way of passing time. If you have a good eye, you will soon guess in which shop the famous Toulouse Lautrec bought his crutches.

One of the most singular characteristics of this passage is that it is in the form of a flash of lightning, since you will soon see how it turns to the left and then back to the right again. It is also known for housing two hotels and an entrance to the Musée Grévin, a museum full of personalities from Paris and the world over. Of course, they are all made of wax.
