Luxury stores in Paris

The walk begins on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, which is home to many luxury boutiques

The Hôtel Costes is a prestigious 5-star establishment. As well as its fashion boutiques, the area is also home to prestigious hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants and art galleries, making this avenue a must for lovers of luxury and culture.

The Élysée Palace stands on rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. As the official residence of the French head of state, it is a symbol of the Republic. Usually closed to the public, it opens its doors only during the Heritage Days in September, offering a rare opportunity to discover the interior of this building steeped in history and to admire its sumptuous rooms and precious collections.

The Élysée is just one of many private mansions in Paris, but its history and significance set it apart from the rest. Construction began in 1718, but it was during the reign of Napoleon III that it acquired the appearance we know today.

We pass in front of the Grand Palais to join the Avenue Montaigne, the great avenue of luxury in Paris.

A stroll along Avenue Montaigne reveals a veritable temple of fashion and luxury, where the most prestigious brands rub shoulders. Iconic names such as Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Valentino and many others have established their flagship shops here. Each façade is a showcase for French elegance and refinement.

The boutiques on Avenue Montaigne not only offer luxury clothing and accessories, they also provide a unique shopping experience. The sumptuous interiors, exclusive collections and attentive service all contribute to creating an exceptional atmosphere, where every customer feels privileged.

The boutiques on Avenue Montaigne share a similar aesthetic, but are distinguished by their discreet luxury. Unlike the neighbouring Avenue des Champs-Élysées, the atmosphere is more subdued and there are fewer people wandering around this prestigious thoroughfare.

Apart from the luxury shops, Avenue Montaigne is a fairly ordinary Parisian street.
