Over two kilometres long, rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré is one of Paris’s chicest streets, boasting a high density of luxury boutiques. Running parallel to the avenue des Champs-Elysées, it’s an extension of rue Saint-Honoré. Starting at rue Royale, by the Madeleine Church, it ends at place des Ternes. Along the way, strollers can admire sumptuous 18th- and 19th-century private mansions, such as the Elysée Palace, headquarters of the Presidency of the French Republic; Hôtel Beauvau, which houses the Ministry of the Interior; the residence of the American Ambassador and the British Embassy. Also lining the route are numerous luxury boutiques and art galleries, the five-star Bristol Paris Hotel and the church of Saint-Philippe du Roule.
