Located in the 2nd district of Paris, between Saint-Denis street and Palestro street, the passage of Bourg-l'Abbé owes its name to an old village located formerly in the same place. It was built in the late 1820s by Auguste Lusson.
Less known than its famous neighbor, the passage of the Grand-Cerf, it does not reveal less a quaint charm and colorful windows. 47 meters long and 3 meters wide, it has a clock and a barometer at the ends.
Very altered by the many passages, the site is currently the subject of a restoration campaign, but remains open from Monday to Saturday. It is accessible by metro line 4, by the Etienne Marcel station.
