Beaupassage: A Paris Gastronomic and Wellness Haven

Paris is famous for its covered passages and galeries, shopping arcades that date back to the 19^th century. Today, these architectural gems typically house shops, restaurants, and cafes. But now there’s a new passage in town, by the name of Beaupassage.

Beaupassage is a brand-new, super-chic, open-air passage in the 7^th arrondissement devoted to gastronomy, wellness, and art. This 10,000m² space was created by bringing together two sites previously occupied by a former convent and Renault garage between Boulevard Raspail and rue de Grenelle.

The space boasts a superstar lineup: a restaurant by Yannick Alleno, Daily Pic — a canteen by three-Michelin-star French chef Anne-Sophie Pic, an organic Thierry Marx boulangerie, Pierre Hermé’s first cafe, street seafood by two-star Breton chef Oliver Bellin, a boucherie by Alexandre Polmard, Fromagerie Barthélémy, and Japanese specialty coffee bar 100% Arabica.

But that’s not all: there is also a gym by former Thai Boxing World Champion Abdoulaye Fadig, which includes a boxing ring, athletics track, sauna, yoga, pilates, and fencing.

Contemporary artworks dots the green space — which also hosts sixty varieties of trees — and Yannick Alleno’s three-story restaurant and wine cellar also features an art gallery.

With Beaupassage, Saint-Germain-des-Prés just upped its chic.
