People
walk in the Galerie Vivienne, a covered passage in Paris, on August 16,
2016 as former French Culture minister Jack Lang spoke out against the
"destructive renovation" of the ancient passage. Paris typical passages
were built during the first half of the XIXth century. Covered by a
glass structure and located on the Paris right bank area, near the
Grands Boulevards, they shelter shops and were created to protect
customers from bad weather. Most of them disappeared during the Baron
Haussmann renovation of Paris (1851-1870). PATRICK KOVARIK / AFP
