Passage d'Eupatoria

The Eupatoria Passage is located in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. It starts at 13, rue d'Eupatoria and ends in a dead end.

It bears that name because of its proximity to the Eupatoria street.

The passage of Eupatoria takes its name from the Crimean town where the Franco-British allies landed in September 1854. It was also the scene of the Battle of Eupatoria during which the Ottomans and their allies succeeded in defeating a Russian assault.

It was as a result of this battle that the Street of Eupatoria and later the Passage of Eupatoria were named.
