The Passage Pommeraye is a 19th century shopping arcade in Nantes. Louis Pommeraye had it built according to Parisian models between 1840 and 1843. It opened on July 4, 1843.
The Passage Pommeraye overcomes the considerable difference in level between Rue Santeuil and Rue de la Fosse (almost 10 m) by means of a monumental staircase decorated with figurative ornamentation. The architects were Jean-Baptiste Buron and Hippolyte Durand Gasselin. The passage has been classified as a monument historique since 1976 and has been used several times for filming.
What a grand shopping experience!
What a skylight!
I'm having trouble imagining having to keep all that glass clean - if it was my job to do!
Thank you very much, Frank, for your kind comment. The glass isn't really that clean. It seems to be difficult to keep such glass surfaces clean. But thank goodness that's not our problem. Greeting Herbert
Appreciating your achievement of balancing out the contrasting areas under shade and sunlight. Usually quite a bit of struggle in post. Yet another good work.
I would like to thank you, Vijay Mewada, very much for your kind and constructive comment. Greetings Herbert
