A glimpse of the past

The Royal Saint-Honoré is located on the old Noailles Hotel, a private hotel built in 1687. It used to spread from the Rivoli carousel on the south to the Feuillants Covent in the west. Today, this would correspond to the 202 rue de Rivoli and the 221 rue Saint-Honoré.

In 1774, the young marquis de la Fayette, one of the most eligible bachelors in France at the time, marries Marie Adrienne Françoise de Noailles. From this, yet arranged, marriage, a beautiful love story was born, one that still today confers to he Royal Saint-Honoré its romantic trademark. The newlywed couple then moves to the Noailles Hotel together.

Starting from 1840, the building was divided into five during the

reconfiguration of Paris under the Haussman baron.
