The passage des Panoramas is considered as one of the main Parisian places of philatelic trade.
When it opened in 1799, the Panorama Passage was the first in Europe to be covered. Listed as a historical monument in 1974, it had more than sixty stores.
It was named after the panoramas – large-format 360-degree paintings – on the walls of two rotundas 17 meters in diameter.
One of the important places of the passage is located at n°47. The Caffè Stern has settled in an old engraving workshop of this passage of the Panoramas. It is decorated with Cordoba leather, 17th century woodwork, 16th century stained glass windows, but also with a chandelier, ornate fireplaces and Murano columns.
