The Lost Streets of Old Paris | A City Losing Its Soul

Most people know Paris for its grand boulevards… But before the city was redesigned in the 19th century, Paris was a maze of narrow alleyways, hidden corridors, and covered passages full of everyday life. In this documentary, we explore the surviving passages of old Paris — how they came to be, what they meant to the people who lived in them, and why many of them are slowly disappearing today. Rising rents, tourism pressure, modernization, and cultural shifts are changing the city’s oldest human-scale spaces. If we lose these places, we lose more than architecture. We lose the closeness. The warmth. The neighborhood heartbeat that made Paris Paris.
