Rue Royale – From Église de la Madeleine to Place de la Concorde
Rue Royale
Running from Place de la Madeleine to Place de la Concorde, Rue Royale is one of Paris' most elegant shopping streets. Luxury maisons, historic restaurants, refined cafés, fashion boutiques, porcelain houses and hidden passages create a polished Right Bank route between gastronomy, heritage and fashion.
TLC Paris Concierge note: Start near Madeleine with Ladurée, Ralph Lauren or the church, then walk down Rue Royale towards Concorde. The strongest rhythm is fashion, pastry, hidden passage, luxury houses, then a final pause near Maxim's, Mimosa or Café Lapérouse Concorde.

TLC Paris Concierge note: Rue Royale is best enjoyed as a short elegant walk rather than a long destination street. The hidden entrance to Cité Berryer gives the route its surprise, while nearby addresses like Ladurée, Maxim’s, Chanel, Hôtel de la Marine and Lapérouse make it easy to connect Madeleine with Concorde and Rue Saint-Honoré.
