The Covered Walkway – Le passage couvert


This delightful half-timbered walkway joins the two parts of Hotel de Villebresme, built in Blois in the 15th century and thought to have been the home of Denis Papin, inventor of the pressure cooker.
Ce joli petit passage couvert à colombages relie les deux bâtiments de l’Hôtel de Villebresme construit à Blois au 15e siècle et surnommé la Maison de Denis Papin. . Toutefois, il n’est pas certain que l’inventeur de la cocotte minute  y ait véritablement vécu.
