(Last Update: 03.06.2025) It doesn't seem like it will end with visiting the passages of Paris or writing. In one of the most beautiful passages that we would pass by without noticing and get lost in the streets if we didn't turn our heads and look inside, Grand Cerf Passage – Passage du Grand CerfThis time we are in .
Grand-Cerf (gran ser or ggan seg) It means "big deer" in Turkish and I learned that this is the case while doing research to prepare this article. So I figured out the meaning of the deer heads I saw in the passage. What am I learning thanks to you? :)
2. boroughThe easiest way to reach Grand Cerf Passage in M4 metro It is possible by getting off at the Etienne Marcel station of the line. When you leave the station, you cross the road. Continuing to the right diagonal Rue TurbigoJust above the top of Rue St. Denis You walk up towards the side. Grand Cerf Passage will appear shortly on your left.
3 meters wide and 117 meters long When you enter the passage, your world changes, as it does when you enter many passages in Paris. Time stands still, even going back at least a hundred years. The high glass ceiling illuminates the interior beautifully, and the black-grey-white tiles on the floor add a pleasant atmosphere. You feel alive with the warmth of the wooden display cases and say, "I'm glad I'm here, I'm glad I'm in Paris."
1825There are mostly design shops in the Grand Cerf Arcade, which has been standing since 1980. There are small boutiques, a cafe or two, a second-hand shop, an antique shop, a hairdresser, a wool seller, a wood workshop and many more inside. I think you will like these shops, all unique and different from each other. Even if you are not going to shop, you will enjoy yourselves. My favorite is the shop whose photo you see above. It's hard to describe what this shop is like; Inside, there are various design objects, furniture and accessories that are old or distressed. I definitely recommend you go inside.
The back door of the Grand Cerf Passage leads to a small square. If you continue straight across the narrow street from here, you will see one of my favorite streets in Paris. Rue MontorgeuilYou go to . If you want to go back and visit the Etienne Marcel side, it is one of my favorite cafe restaurants. ChickYou can dine at. Below there are some of the liveliest corners of the city. Châtelet ve Les Halles sides anyway. Moreover The oldest house in Paris It's right around here, you can check it out if you want.

I don't know if it's worth getting up and seeing the Grand Cerf Passage, but if you're near Etienne Marcel, I recommend you to go in, take a look, and walk the length of the passage. There is another very small passage directly opposite the Grand Cerf Passage: Passage du Bourg l'Abbe. You can go in and out there if you want.
