The Passage Jouffroy is a covered walkway (alley) with many boutique shops on both sides. It has a glass roof with natural sunlight and the shops sell unique merchandise and handicrafts. Must visit and see.

An atmospheric and interesting shopping arcade (passage) in Paris with a lot of art and antique book shops. Since it was built in 1836, Passage Jouffroy has been one of the most visited covered arcades in Paris. Situated on the Grands Boulevards and in the continuation of Passage des Panoramas, it owes its charm to its beautiful iron and glass architecture (the ogive glass roof immediately catches the eye) and its marble paving. A great place to take a slow stroll of an evening and enjoy some window shopping, the ambiance and architecture.

i love all the covered passages and come to them often. This one is in the middle of the Grands Boulevards area so is a part of the cafe and restaurant experience. It is not completely spiffy, but has been discovered so will improve over time. The early 19th Century version of a shopping mall.

Located between the Passage Verdeau and the Passage des Panoramas, the Passage Jouffroy is one of the most crossed in Paris. Built in 1836, its fascinating architecture plays contrasts between the wrought iron and the luminous pointed canopy. The marble laneway is lined with more original establishments: antique toy shops, artisan cane shops, art galleries, opulent jewelry, a brasserie transformed into a nightclub, mouthwatering pastries... In this elegant bric-a-brac is also the Musée Grévin and its famous wax figures.
Another passage that I frequented when I lived in Paris between 2003 and 2007, that good memories here. I even saw a cane shop with one of them in the shape of a violin, original and nice for me who practices this instrument

Has a bit of a Harry Potter feel to it. A bit tired and run down. Some arty type shops, Plenty of people shuffling through, seemingly wanting to tick off another Parisian site. The alleyway is useful when it's raining.

We stumbled upon the covered passageways after spending time in Montmartre and, as it was a rainy day, felt it a perfect place to wander. They seem to go on forever. They are most charming, with lots of places to poke around, shop, and eat. Great on a rainy day. And when you finally come out, you have to figure out where you are!

There are two passages connected to each other. Passage Verdeu and this Passage Joufferoy. It's a little bit of a glimpse of French passage culture. What caught my eye the most was Pain D'epices, which looks like it has a long history. There are a lot of dolls. My wife was particularly interested in a mouse doll (they also sell similar ones at Merci), and after thinking about it for almost 20 minutes, she gave up. It wasn't very expensive, so I should have bought it for her. One more thing. There is a hotel called Chopin in this passage. I thought it was a nice downtown culture, but it seems to be a pretty expensive hotel.

The Passage Jouffroy is an interesting covered passage in Paris. There are shops, a few cafes, and a little retro atmosphere. The place is pretty, but often a little crowded. A pleasant visit if you spend in the neighborhood.

One of the lovely covered passages, one of my favorite aspects of the city. This one is not all that fancy but full of quirky shops and restaurants. These passages were early shopping malls and got people off the dirty streets and into safety. People loved them in the early 19th Century and I love them now.

We think Paris is its landmarks, Tour Eiffel, Louvre, Arc etc. But those "passages" offer a proper time travel, back in 19th Century. It is worth a visit and there also different cafes. Very nice walk with lovely shops.

I don’t really know for sure but I think if you are there between 11 AM and 6 PM you should be fine.
