le passage Pommeraye

Nantes, Loire Atlantique

Le passage Pommeraye est une galerie marchande du centre-ville de Nantes, en France. Construit à partir de fin 1840, il est mis en service le 3 juillet 1843. Tirant sa particularité d'être construit sur un terrain présentant une forte déclivité, il s'étend sur trois niveaux distribués par un escalier central, et est un des attraits touristiques de la ville. Si sa construction a entraîné la ruine de son promoteur, Louis Pommeraye, le passage, considéré comme une réussite architecturale, est resté un lieu de commerce florissant. Il a bénéficié d'une rénovation achevée en 2015.

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. The Passage Pommeraye has been classified as a historic monument since 1976.
