The Galerie Vivienne, Located between the Palais-Royal, the Paris Bourse (stock exchange), and the Grands Boulevards, is the covered passage that were once a trendy entertainment place. The passage enjoyed considerable success until the second half of the 19th century. Vivienne gallery lost some of its appeal with the move of the prestigious shops to the Madeleine and the Champs-Élysées, and mainly because of the Architectural Revolution held by Georges-Eugène Haussmann. The gallery was built in 1823 by Marchoux, President of the Chamber of Notaries. Inaugurated in 1826 under the name Marchoux, it was soon renamed Vivienne and conquered the hearts of Parisians due to its unique location. It attracted many visitors with its couture shops, restaurants, wine cellars, bookstores, draper shops, confectioners, and so else.
