The Grands Boulevard district is known for its covered passages (the Passage Jouffroy, the Passage du Panorama, the Passage Verdeau…), superb galleries that date from the nineteenth century, a true Parisian heritage. There are also several museums such as the Grévin Museum or the Chocolate Museum. Art and antiquity enthusiasts come here for the famous auctions of the Drouot room, the largest auction room in Paris. It is also in this district that the largest cinema in Europe, the Grand Rex, is located. And a few institutions such as the Bouillon Chartier brewery (since 1896).
