Entrance to passage Choiseul

Passage Choiseul is one of the covered passages of Paris , France located in the 2nd arrondissement . [1] It is the continuation of Rue de Choiseul.

History [ edit ]

The Passage Choiseul is on a site previously occupied by four hotels particuliers , acquired by the Mallet Bank  [ fr ] for a real-estate development that included the Opera-Comique 's nearby Salle Ventadour . [2] The passage was built between 1826 and 1827, first to the designs of the architect Francois Mazois  [ fr ] , then Antoine Tavernier. [2] Mazois died before the building was complete, and Tavernier completed the work. [3]

The author Louis-Ferdinand Celine lived here as a child in the early 20th century. The Passage Choiseul is mentioned in two of his novels: Journey to the End of the Night and Death on the Installment Plan . [2] Celine described it as having gas lamps that "stank as badly as the stagnant air", and the aroma of "dogs urine" in the passage. [1]

In 1907 the glass roof was replaced (although its ironwork dates from 1891 [4] ). The passage later fell into disrepair. In the 1970s visitation increased when Kenzo opened a boutique in the passage. They have since relocated to the Place des Victoires . [ citation needed ]
