Both Indoor and Outdoor – Dedicated Shopping:

Boulevard Haussman

Stretching from the 8^th Arrondissement to the 9^th, this famous tree-lined boulevard has been filmed in many television shows and movies. It’s where you will find well-known department stores Galeries Lafayette and Printemps. Just the architecture alone is enough to make it one of Pari’s best walks.

Hausmann was an architect who spent over two decades revitalising Paris and creating the stunning city it is today.

You will find big brands selling the latest and greatest in fashion, as well as homeware stores, children’s apparel, menswear, shoes, bags, and jewellery.

Rue Saint Honore and Rue Faubourg Saint Honore

Rue Saint Honore is also where you’ll find stunning Parisian hotels like the The Hôtel de Crillon, which first opened its doors in 1909, and is open to the public for dining or cocktail breaks at the bar any time of day, whilst shopping.

You may need a full day there if you wish to fit in a visit to all the stores especially if you find yourself walking straight onto Rue due Faubourg Saint Honore.

Rue due Faubourg Saint Honore is where you’ll find brands like Givenchy, Burberry, Balmain, Miu Miu and Hermes. You may even spot the French president at the Le Palace de Elysee, or at a coffee shop which is also located here.
