Postcards: Passages of Grands Boulevards (FR)
Steps away from the métro station of Grands Boulevards are various covered passages of Paris, some more interesting and better kept than the others. Passage Jouffroy is my favourite among these; I could spend time window shopping at leisure here, and there are always something new to distract and wow the visitors strolling through. They are colourful, they are stylish, they are vintage, they are fun.
The other passages nearby are sort of “specialised”: Passage Brady for Indian restaurants, Passage des Panoramas and Passage Verdeau for old postcards, boooks and stamps, Passage du Caire for all things textile including bulk buy of mannequins, and Passage du Prado for African beauty salons. Quite a motley crew, right?
