Quick update - I just got off a quick call with my mum, who was travelling in Paris. I asked her to check out three colors in the Saint Louis PM or GM tote, Green, Grey and Navy, and NONE in stock. These three colors are sold out in both PM and GM sizes, my mum told me stock is very low and what the sales have shown her are ugly (LOL), there is just bright blue tote... not the navy one though.

Here’s my report on visiting the Paris boutique today.
About 3 weeks ago, I completed the online form asking for an appointment for today, in the morning. I received an email without 24 hours, confirming the date and a specific time, with instruction to present the email to the doorman.
I arrived at the store 20 minutes early. There were about 20 people lined up outside. I showed the doorman my email, he immediately allowed me in, checked my name on his list and asked me to wait on the side. Within a minute, a sales associate approached me and it was time to shop!
I was most interested in seeing an Artois PM but there were none in stock in any color. He had a couple of MMs (black and gray) available. I asked about the Anjou PM and he had sky blue (which I had asked for) and black - perhaps there were other colors available. There was a Boheme available in black, as well as one of the new Claire Voie GMs in white with turquoise lining. I ultimately chose the Anjou in sky blue and will post photos once I get home.
The store is beautiful and I found everyone I dealt with - the doorman, the SA, and the gal who processed my payment/VAT refund docs - to be helpful and courteous. I never felt rushed by the staff, although it’s hard to take one’s time because of the relative tightness of the store and the fact that each piece is brought out as requested.
Based on my experience, I urge anyone planning on visiting this boutique to plan ahead and secure an appointment. It was a breeze!

Impromptu trip to Paris on Wednesday 28th September. Passed the Rue St Honoré store at 2:15pm and decided to get in line as the queue was relatively short. Took 45 mins to get into the store. I was hoping to get a St Louis PM in grey or green, the SA said there was none in either and that there was basically no colours in stock. She went to go double check though and came out with the last green! She said I was incredibly lucky. Took another 30 mins to wait for the cashier to call out my name to pay. In total about 1 hour 30 mins from start to finish.

Hi
I just came back from Paris last night.
St. Honore store currently have no appointments as I e-mailed them before arrived and they told me I can come to the store.
End of September I was in South of France , there is a Goyard store at Monaco and there was no queue .
Last week in Paris St. Honor always has long queues, so I went to Printemps they had a shorter queue.
Sales people are very friendly and they give each customer all the time they needed to try and take their time to decide what they want and they give advice if you ask them .
They told me in St. Louis PM is not available in Paris. Also , plumet and cap vert are not available.
You can make and order but I guess you have to put the initials . I wanted the Ambassade PM (grey) but wasn’t sure if I will really use it regularly, so I didn’t order it .
In Monaco they had Saint Louis PM but no Belvedere.
I got Saint Louis GM ( black) + cap vert ( burgundy ) from Monaco and Belvedere PM ( black ) from Paris .

I was in Paris this week and heard that the current waiting time is 2h and stocks are very bad (the main store, no idea about Printemps). Meaning no colours.
I didn’t even try to get into the store based on that info. Plus I passed by once and was put-off by the visibly long queue.
I’ll be back in March. Let’s see if it gets better. But I have all I need anyway and was just thinking about a spontaneous purchase.

I wanted to share my experience at the 233 Rue Saint-Honore store in Paris last week. I had made an appointment almost a month in advance and was able to walk right in at my assigned time. The line looked very long at 15:30 in the afternoon on a tuesday, going up and down the sidewalk. They did not have the color I was looking for in the St Louis GM (sky blue). I did see other customers looking at an orange one and a green one in both PM and GM sizes.
They did have the other bag i was looking for, the Petit Flot. I requested to see it in green and black/tan and they had both in stock. I purchased the green Petit Flot and was thrilled because I had heard stock was low, I feel like I got lucky. Price was 1790 Euros for the Petit Flot I purchased. Everyone was super friendly, never rushed us, encouraged shopping around, and VAT check out was very easy.

Passed in front of the Saint Honoré store yesterday a few times during the day and the line was huge.
The Printemps store was empty by the morning and in the afternoon had a huge line as well.

How strange...! I used this link to make an appointment for the Milan store:
And now it only shows for Japan, Singapore and the US!

Thank you! That's the one I was referring to as well. I thought there's a different secret link out thereHow strange...! I used this link to make an appointment for the Milan store:

I hope they'll put back all the other stores soon!
I just got back from a week in Paris and the lines were very long. I applied for an appointment four weeks before my trip, but Goyard responded that they could not give me an appointment. And I see now Paris is not an option in the appointment request form.
Monday I went to Goyard at Pritemps around noon and the line was very long 20-25 people and not moving. I gave up after 45 minutes of waiting and only two or three customers had been served during that time. Tuesday I went back to Goyard Pritemps at 6:15 pm only to be told the line had been closed at 6:00 pm and no one else could join. Walked past both Goyard Pritemps and St Honore on Thursday and lines were still 20-25 people.
At this point I decided no Goyard for me, but on Saturday my last day in Paris I walked past Goyard St Honore midday and line was surprisingly short 10-12 people. Apparently stock was very low and the were advising people to come back next week, but a gentleman from Goyard was asking each person what they wanted so you could find out in advance if it was worth the wait. I wanted an Artois MM and yes it was in stock but only in black which was my preferred color!
The wait was around 35-40 minutes. I got my Artois MM in black and a St. Louis PM in grey. For the SL PM the sky blue was sold out but they had black, white, gray, green and possibly a few other colors that I did not ask about.
I’m very happy with my purchases but may just plan on buying in the US going forward.

I’m delighted that the visit worked out for you and that you were able to buy those two lovely bags. I bought an Anjou in Paris in September and, between the strength of the dollar and my expected VAT refund (which I’m still waiting for-grrrrrrr), I believe I paid about a third less than I would have if I bought the bag in the US. So it was definitely worth your time to shop in Paris. Enjoy your bags!
