It is the work of Louis Puteaux who builds several buildings there. It is the shortest passage in Paris. Its decoration is simple but neat, with pilasters delimiting six bays. Under the simple glass roof with two slopes, there are still some moldings and capitals chipped. It houses a bistro-cellar with a terrace.
