Good to know when visiting Rue St Honoré

While the Rue St Honoré is a world-famous shopping street, it is also historical and is said to have been planned as early as the Middle Ages. Other notable landmarks situated along the road in the 1st arrondissement include the striking Jeanne d’ Arc sculpture, the Eglise-St. Roch church and Robespierre’s House.

One place on the Rue St Honoré that is quite legendary is Harry’s New York Bar. A popular choice for American ex-pats, the popular establishment attracted international celebrities from Ernest Hemingway to Sinclaire Lewis, Rita Hayworth, Humphrey Bogart, Coco Chanel and many more.
