  • Couverts À Paris Passages Couverts À Paris
    Passages couverts à Paris Passages couverts à Paris Les passages sont une forme paisible de la foule. Elle s’y possède mieux, elle s’y allonge ; elle s’y réchauffe en se frottant aux parois. L’allure des piétons ne se recourbe pas plus humblement, comme le lierre des chênes sur la fi le des voitures. Ils ne pataugent plus dans la boue, ni dans les forces. Le passage les abrite et les enveloppe d’une douceur presque domestique. C’est une rue qui se recueille ou un intérieur qui se défait toujours. JULES ROMAINS « Puissances de Paris » - 1911 ES PASSAGES COUVERTS se développent dans la capitale pendant une L soixantaine d’années seulement, entre la fi n du XVIIIe siècle et le milieu du XIXe siècle. Novateurs tant par leur forme architecturale que par leur rôle social, systématiquement bordés de boutiques, les passages sont des lieux de grande mixité. Le plus souvent habités en étage, ils font se côtoyer commerces du luxe, marchands de jouets, salles de spectacle, bouquinistes ou restaurants. Parmi la soixantaine de passages couverts qui vit le jour, il en subsiste une quinzaine, regroupée sur la rive droite. La plupart sont soit classés aux Monuments historiques, soit inscrits aux Monuments historiques ou protégés au Plan local d’urbanisme/protection ville de Paris. Chaque passage présente un caractère spécifi que mais tous ont en commun d’être des voies privées ouvertes ou non à la circulation des piétons, administrées par des propriétaires privés. Consciente de la valeur unique de ce patrimoine et des risques multiples qui le menacent, la mairie de Paris a lancé, en 2002, un projet de mise en valeur des passages couverts parisiens en mettant en place une aide aux propriétaires pour mieux prendre en compte leur valeur historique et leur qualité architecturale.

  • 7-Rollason, Shopping As a Way of Life
    The Commodification of Everything: Shopping as a Way of Life What is an arcade? In its classic sense, the term denotes a pedestrian passage or gallery, open at both ends and roofed in glass and iron, typically linking two parallel streets and consisting of two facing rows of shops and other commercial establishments – restaurants, cafés, hairdressers, etc. “Arcade” is the English name: in French the arcades are known as ‘passages’, and in German as ‘Passagen’. The modern arcade was invented in Paris, and, while the concept was imitated in other cities – there are particularly fine mid-nineteenth century examples in Brussels – the Parisian arcades remain the type of the phenomenon. Benjamin quotes a passage from the Illustrated Guide to Paris, a German publication of 1852, which sums up the arcades’ essence: These arcades, a recent invention of industrial luxury, are glass-roofed, marble-panelled corridor extending through whole blocks of buildings, whose owners have joined together for such enterprises. Lining both sides of the corridors, which get their light from above, are the most elegant shops, so that the arcade is a city, a world in miniature, in which customers will find everything they need. The construction that is generally accepted as the first example of the Paris arcade proper was the Passage des Panoramas, opened in 1800 when Napoleon Bonaparte was First Consul, and still in existence. There had been earlier partial precursors in Paris. The “Galeries de Bois” or Wooden Galleries inside the Palais-Royal – the former Royal Palace and residence of the Orléans branch of the royal family – offered, from 1790 until their demolition in 1828, a traffic free space where a multitude of traders served thronging crowds under a wooden roof, and which, in literature, is the subject of a celebrated description in Illusions perdues (Lost Illusions ), Balzac’s classic fictional exposé of Parisian society published in 1843.

  • Les Passages Couverts À Paris Départ Métro Palais Royal-Musée Du Louvre (Sortie N°1) Puis Place Colette D'après Le Rober
    Les Passages Couverts à Paris Départ métro Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre (sortie n°1) puis Place Colette D’après le Robert : le passage est un lieu ou chemin par lequel il est nécessaire ou commode de passer pour aller d’un point à un autre, c’est aussi une petite rue interdite aux voitures généralement couverte (traversant souvent un immeuble) qui unit deux artères. La galerie est un passage couvert qui abrite des boutiques plus riches et une décoration plus soignée. Où se trouvent-ils dans Paris? Quand ont-ils été construits ? Pourquoi ? Les galeries de bois du Palais-Royal, créées en 1786, sont considérées comme le prototype des passages. Les passages construits ensuite se trouvent majoritairement sur la rive droite de la Seine, à l'intérieur des limites de Paris d’avant 1860. En 1870, il y a 150 passages. La suppression des privilèges féodaux et la vente des Biens du clergé en 1789 provoquent des opérations immobilières sur les hôtels particuliers et les couvents. Le contexte est à la spéculation foncière et à l’essor de la construction, au développement d’une bourgeoisie commerçante. Sur la rive droite, la population est plus nombreuse avec de nouveaux riches. C’est plus à la mode d’y habiter. La rive gauche est encore médiévale, avec des rues étroites. Paris n’a alors ni trottoirs, ni électricité et les gens se réfugient dans les passages à l’abri des intempéries. Le soir, les passages sont le lieu de bals et d’attractions, avec une dimension ludique incontestable. Peu à peu les passages sont détruits par les grands travaux de Haussmann ou laissés à l’abandon suite à l’avènement des grands magasins.

The tour begins with a look at monuments to Napoleon I and Napoleon III’s imperial aspirations including the Arc de Triomphe and the 19th-century Louvre. It also includes buildings which are emblematic of the city’s 19th-century economic aspirations including the Paris stock exchange, several banks, and the Saint-Lazare railroad station. You’ll see how shopping evolved in Paris, from atmospheric covered passages such as the Galeries Vivienne and Colbert, to grand department stores like Galeries Lafayette and Au Printemps. The Palais-Royal, the Opéra Garnier and the Musée Jacquemart- André provide a glimpse into how wealthy Parisians lived and entertained themselves during this era. And you’ll visit two beautiful churches, Saint-Augustin and Saint-Eugène-Saint-Cecile. The tour ends with an optional visit to the 19th- century structure that has become the city’s most iconic monument, the Tour Eiffel. Start: Arc de Triomphe (Métro: Charles de Gaulle/Etoile) or Place de la Concorde (Métro: Concorde) Finish: Musée Jacquemart-André (Métro: Saint-Philippe-du-Roule) or Tour Eiffel (Métro: Bir-Hakeim) Distance: 3 - 4 miles (short version); 4 - 5 miles (long version) Time: 4 - 5 hours (short version); the better part of a day (long version) Best Days: Tuesday - Friday Copyright © Ann Branston 2011 HISTORY In 1848, a series of revolutions finally unseated the monarchy for good.
