Passage de la Trinité




Métro: Réaumur Sébastopol (Line 3 or 4)
Address: Passage de la Trinité, 75002 Paris
Access: 164 rue Saint Denis, 75002 Paris
              21 rue de Palestro, 75002 Paris



I have to say that this passage way is bewitching. I absolutely adore the red doors and the little graffiti of the two chickens. I just want to same tiling work in my future driveway. It just has a lot of charm.

Now the story behind the name of this street is super interesting. It was named after the hospital of the Trinity which was founded in 1202. At that time it was located outside the ramparts of Paris and would welcome pilgrims that would arrive after the curfew. Later it also became a theater and an orphanage. Unfortunately, it was destroyed during the Revolution and small houses were built instead.
