The clock seems to have stopped, the clock is suspended. It's the Paris of the Belle Epoque!
Walking through this passage, and it's going back in time and
time. . .
1847 date of inauguration of passage Jouffroy,
later on, there are entertainment venues for children and adults :
- Théâtre d'ombres chinoise (Chinese Shadow Theatre )
- L' estaminet Lyrique.
Although these 2 establishments no longer exist, this passage is still a source of distraction, for all generations...
A little tale comes to me, to get in the mood.

Clock Lady, is suddenly awake, and she imitates the cat stretches its springs, while regaining consciousness of its dial, of each of its cogs. And a soft pinging, slowly pinging, ticking, ticking, ticking. . .
And soon, the sun rises, its rays ...
A deep, rough voice made her hear:
"What do you have to say in your defence?

The front of a shop catches my attention, the main ones themes: anything to do with royalty, the baroque and
venetian style...
Her name is:
"La Maison du Roy" (The King's House)
this hotel offers beautifully embroidered artist creations, toys, crockery, decorative items and cushions. The seller advises me to visit his instragram account as well, to get more information.
Another shop catches my attention, she calls herself "Pain d'Epices " (Gingerbread) the seller states that this shop is the oldest toy shop in Paris ! There is the possibility of customising certain toy with the first name of a child.
