(Last Update: 07.06.2025) A paradise of passages, one of the most beautiful passages in Paris. Colbert Passage – Galerie ColbertIt's time to get to know. There are these mostly covered structures, which once replaced shopping malls and served as both streets and passages, in many corners of Paris, and most of them preserve their original beauty. Colbert Passage is one of the best preserved among them.

Located right next door when it was built Vivienne Passage – Galerie VivienneDespite all its magnificence, the passage that claims to compete with Vivienne PassageRemained in the shadow of.
This passage, which many Parisians have passed through throughout history, has become unusable over time. While it was about to be completely demolished for a while, 1980It underwent a major restoration and took its current shape. When you enter, you sense a newer, brighter atmosphere here, unlike other passages in Paris, but I guess due to the success of the restoration, this innovation has not caused the passage to lose much of its historical atmosphere.
The main entrance of the passage, which you can reach from Rue des Petits Champs street, is here, but if you are going to enter only for touristic purposes, sometimes they may ask you to enter not from this door, but from the entrance a little further on the street on the left. At the entrance, the security guard searches your bag. When you enter, you will see in Turkish: Evridiki In Greek mythology, referred to as Representing the lover Orfe wants to meet.

There are no shops or stores in Colbert Passage today; so in other passages warm atmosphere There aren't many here. Most of the structure Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art – National Institute of Art History ve Institut National du Patrimoine – National Cultural Heritage Institute It is used by.
Sometimes access to this corridor is allowed and sometimes not; If you can walk down the corridor, a little further on the right you will find a delicious restaurant.The Grand ColbertWhen you arrive, the interior decoration is magnificent. This is the only commercial establishment in the passage, excluding the institutes. To enter the restaurant, you must use the outer door on the street side.
