Paris in Three Hours — Saint-Honoré to Palais-Royal

The classic Right Bank luxury spine, walked east: from the Faubourg’s grand maisons past place Vendôme into the arcades of the Palais-Royal — about 2.5 km of the most argued-over shop windows on earth.

1. 0:00 — Hermès 24 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré
   Begin at the mothership — the 1880 flagship; even the window dressing is an institution.
2. 0:30 — Goyard 233 rue Saint-Honoré
   Five minutes east: the trunk-maker’s hand-painted chevron canvas, quieter than its neighbors and prouder.
3. 0:50 — Charvet 28 place Vendôme
   Turn into the octagon: seven floors of shirting under the column — the world’s first shirt shop, 1838.
4. 1:15 — Chanel 31 rue Cambon
   Two streets west: the original house, mirrored staircase and all. Look up — Mademoiselle’s apartment.
5. 1:45 — Astier de Villatte 173 rue Saint-Honoré
   Back east on Saint-Honoré: milky terres blanches ceramics in a creaking 18th-century shop.
6. 2:10 — Serge Lutens Jardins du Palais-Royal, 142 galerie de Valois
   Enter the Palais-Royal gardens: the purple fragrance theater — bell-jar exclusives sold nowhere else.
7. 2:30 — Maison Fabre 128–129 galerie de Valois
   A few arches along: Millau glove-makers since 1924, colors like a paintbox.
8. 2:50 — Maison Kitsuné 51 galerie de Montpensier
   Cross the garden for the finale — Café Kitsuné espresso under the arcades, watching the boules players.

End on a green bench among Buren’s columns. If legs remain: rue de Richelieu north to Galignani’s successor bookshops, or the passage Vivienne for Jean-Paul Gaultier ghosts.
