India in Paris! In the Gare de l'Est and Château d'Eau districts, the Passage Brady, built in 1828, is one of the few passages in Paris to consist of two parts, separated by the Boulevard de Strasbourg. On one side, the passage is covered by a glass roof; on the other, it is open to the sky. A visit to the Passage Brady is an invitation to take a visual, sensory and aromatic journey. Commonly known as Little India, it is home to many Indo-Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Mauritian and Reunionese shops. People come here for a spicy gourmet break, to buy exotic products and even to hire colourful costumes! There are many other ways to enter this colourful world: 22 or 33 boulevard de Strasbourg and 43 rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin, for the open-air part.
