The Rue Saint-Honoré was originally an easy route to Saint-Ouen , Argenteuil , Le Roule and Neuilly-sur-Seine , and (due to the course of the Seine) had no national significance. Only in the 12th century, after the halls were set up, did their development begin. It extended the Rue de la Ferronerie to the west and ended at the Porte Sainte-Honoré (the old or the new), then from 1634 at the Rue Royale. In the past it had the following names:

  • Between the Rue de la Lingerie and the Rue de la Tonnellerie, it was called Rue de la Chausseterie from 1300 to the 17th century.
