Boucheron

Boucheron is one of Paris's most storied jewellery houses, occupying a landmark address at 26 Place Vendôme in the first arrondissement. Founded by Frédéric Boucheron in 1858, it was the first of the great jewellers to establish itself on the Place Vendôme, choosing the corner position for its superior natural light. The building itself, a former private mansion, retains its grand historic interiors and serves today as both a working boutique and a destination in its own right.

Visitors to this part of central Paris often combine a visit to the Place Vendôme with the broader history of the city's imperial past. The walking tour currently available through this listing takes in the life and legacy of Napoleon, including entry to Les Invalides and his tomb, offering a considered route through some of the most significant monuments of the Napoleonic era in Paris.
