The project aims to restore the prestige and character historically associated with rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
Beyond creating a calmer environment with reduced traffic, enhanced planted areas, wider pavements, and thoughtful materials, the project seeks to re-restablish a street that is elegant, distinctive, accessible, and comfortable for all users.
Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré will become a public promenade where pedestrians and cyclists feel safe, and biodiversity and natural rainwater management are enhanced.
