In the Passage Choiseul lived the french novelist Louis-Ferdinand Celine as a child. Built in 1829 and located in the 2nd arrondissement was chosen by Kenzo to open his first boutique called Jungle Jap. It is under renovation since 2012. The Parisian covered passages were built between the late 18th century and the mid-19th century in order to house shops and restaurants. These arcades covered with glass roofs connecting two streets were an architectural innovation at that time. From the 150 galleries that existed in 1850 only 20 remain nowadays. Each passage has its own special character and they have become a typical Parisian feature.
