Between old bookstores, curio shops and 19th century glass windows, observe the details around you, decipher the clues and let yourself be carried away by the timeless charm of this discreet and refined place.
The Jouffroy Passage Crossing the street, the investigation continues in the Jouffroy Passage, one of the most emblematic covered passages in Paris. Between ancient signs, mosaics and architectural details of the 19th century, this lively place invites you to observe every corner with attention. Some puzzles will ask you to look up, others to spot clues hidden in the decor. A stage full of charm, where the Paris of yesterday and today seem to meet.
