Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré
8e Arrt.
The Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré is a street in Paris, France. Although relatively narrow and nondescript (especially in comparison to the Champs-Élysées), it is cited as being one of the most fashionable streets in the world thanks to the presence of virtually every major global fashion house. Like nearby Avenue Montaigne, the street is consistently dedicated, throughout its length, to high-fashion stores and other exclusive establishments. The rue Saint-Honoré, of which the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré is an extension, began as a road extending west from the northern edge of the Louvre property. Saint Honoré is the popular French saint, Honorius of Amiens. At number 55 is the Élysée Palace, which houses the President of the Republic.
