The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le passage du Grand Cerf servait avant la Révolution à une célèbre hôtellerie qui lui donna son nom. Ce passage découvert prit en 1825 son aspect actuel. Son décor est simple, mais sa hauteur inusitée. La légèreté de sa structure est renforcée par des tirants et des passerelles métalliques qui lui donnent un aspect très pittoresque.

The passage du Grand Cerf served before the Revolution a famous inn which gave it its name. This uncovered passage took on its present appearance in 1825. Its decoration is simple, but its unusual height. The lightness of its structure is reinforced by metal tie-rods and catwalks which give it a very picturesque appearance.
