The rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré is a street in Paris, France. Although relatively nondescript (especially in comparison to the Champs-Elysées), it is widely cited as being the most fashionable street in the world thanks to the presence of virtually every major global fashion house.
"Saint-Honoré" refers to the popular French saint Honorius of Amiens.
