Galerie Véro-Dodat



Galerie Véro-Dodat


In 1826, two friends, Messieurs Véro and Dodat, opened a covered galerie 
between Rue du Bouloi and Rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau.  
Built in Neoclassical style with a decor that included details of copper and cast iron, 
along with mirrors and the black and white marble floor, 
it quickly became the darling of Paris.


This early winter morning photo found the passage
in fine order, a close reflection of its 19th century beauty.

    Oh Genie!!!! One of my favourites. I adored this passage. Did you see my blog post on it? In fact, I did a 'series' of posts on many of the various Parisian passages. One of my favourite projects while I was in Paris! The furniture in Vero Dodat was incredible....and then there were the shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know, with the 'red' soles! OMG!!!!

    Ah, yes! How could I forget the Louboutin boutique at the end of this passage?
