Visit Passage des Degrés-de-Poules, Geneva, Switzerland

The Passage des Degrés-de-Poules is a little passage leading from Place du Bourg-de-Four up to the backside of the Cathedral of Saint Peter. The name of the passage can be translated by “Ladder of the chicken”. This name was give to the passage for two different reasons: on the one hand because of its outer appearance. It is narrow and steep, just like the ladder in a chicken coop. The other explanation is that the passage was often used by the prostitutes of the city when they walked between the red light district on the corner of Place du Bourg-de-Four to the Cathedral.
