Passage Pommeraye
The
Passage Pommeraye is a small
shopping mall in central
Nantes,
France, named after its
property developer, Louis Pommeraye. Construction started at the end of
1840 and was completed on
4 July 1843.
The Passage Pommeraye is a passage between two streets, the rue Santeuil and rue de la Fosse, with one 9.40
m higher than the other. Midway, there is a flight of steps and the mall then continues on another floor. Two
architects, Jean-Baptiste Buron and Hippolyte Durand Gasselin, contributed to its design, which is very elaborate and includes
renaissance style sculptures.
