The Passage Puteaux of Paris !!!

Posted in Europe, France, Paris

I take you now once again to the passages/galeries of Paris !!! I have been to several but lots more to see , they are just gorgeous. You will see them in the next posts, bear with me, its Paris!!! Glad to have found me more in my old cd roms, great! Therefore, here is my take on the Passage Puteaux of Paris !!! Hope you enjoy it as I.

The Passage Puteaux is located in the 8éme arrondissement of Paris. It is situated between Rue de l’Arcade and Rue Pasquier, and at Rue Tronson-du-Coudray, more precisely by 33, Rue de l’Arcade, and 18, Rue Pasquier, It has a length of 29 meters and a width of 3 meters, making it the shortest in Paris. It bears this name because it was created by Louis François Puteaux, a Parisian developer and municipal councilor of the village of Batignolles, of which he was one of the founders. Opened in 1839, the Passage Puteaux was built near the Gare Saint-Lazare, which was to be built at Rue Tronchet. The Passage Puteaux suffered misfortune, as the Gare Saint-Lazare was ultimately built further north, in the Europe quartier or neighborhood, depriving it of this ideal location. Deprived of the expected passenger flow, it never achieved real success. Lacking major attractive features. The passage was briefly renamed “Passage Pasquier” in 1873 before reverting to its original name. Its original decor is simple but neat, with pilasters delimiting six bays. The passage features Greek-style pilasters with detailed carvings and antique lanterns representing the architectural preferences of 19C Paris. Under the simple gabled glass roof, some chipped moldings and capitals can still be seen. It houses the terraces of the bistro-wine bar “La Boutique des Vins” and the Arboré bar of a boutique hotel, Le Royal Madeleine.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
