Passage Jouffroy

Come out of the Passage des Panoramas by Boulevard Montmartre and cross the road straight into Passage Jouffroy, which was inaugurated in 1847 in order to make the most of the success of its neighbours. Lined with charming bookshops that can offer great second-hand bargains on art books, Jouffroy also hosts the Musée Grevin waxwork museum and the Hotel Chopin, a slightly down-at-heel hotel that is nevertheless fantastically affordable for the romance of the location.
