I will leave this reminder as a sticky because tthis is often a thread that new members (or new Hermès lovers) post on - hopefully temporarily.

Thank you for clarifying. We only went to brand boutiques this time. No department stores. So good to know.


Gorgeous!!! Congratulations I fell in love with Etain and RGHW. Never saw the combo before in real life.

Thank you! Me too! My SA gave me four options back then, C18 in blue, C18 in orange, C24 in craie rghw and c24 etain rghw and that's what I took.

Has anyone had success with the appointment system lately? If yes, how many tries did it take?

We head to Paris tomorrow and both applied for our health pass code a week ago and have heard nothing. I have no issue with getting tested upon arrival for a 72 hour QR code but we will be there for a month...definitely don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on tests every three days...I have better plans for my dollars

You dont need a health pass if you have a virtual vaccination card, i come from the middle east and in my country we have an app that shows the vaccination and that I'm clear of covid. They accepted it everywhere in paris.

I totally agree that it depends on the concierge and the relationship you have.

Agree - there are some 5* hotels in Paris where the base room rate easily exceeds $1500/night with suites over $4000/night so the concierge services are on par (restaurant reservations, personal shopping appointments etc).

I was actually given 4 hotels name by a SA and she told me that a phone call from these will definitely score me an appointment. She was so sure that she give them by order of the importance .

Can anyone share the names of these hotels ?

Let me guess, I’m sure they would be somewhere in this list.
Hotel de Crillon
Le Bristol
Four Seasons George V
The Ritz Paris
Mandarin Oriental
Le Meurice
La Reserve

QED

Maybe it’s important for the GV store.

so helpful! I know the Pass is required for restaurants and museums but does Hermes also require it to enter or would vaccine certificate suffice ?

We just left Paris. No retailer, including department stores, asked to see any proof of vaccination, health pass, etc. We were only asked to show at museums and a couple of restaurants. Honestly I was a bit disappointed as I think it is an excellent idea and an incentive to get vaccinated. But if they aren’t really going to check and enforce it it’s kind of worthless.

Here is the best way to get your pass sanitaire

If you want to avoid the wait or avoid seeking out a location in Paris that will convert your US CDC card, email mailto:[email protected]

Include your passport image, CDC image and travel proof to France.

We emailed Friday evening, so after business hours in France and we both received ours on Monday. Had we emailed during normal French business hours, it would have been 2 hours.

I did this i received an email 2 days after i left paris saying that they are too busy. And that i can do the pcr test in paris. But as i mentioned we have an app on our phones with all the vaccination and pcr test details so we were fine. Its so funny that at a restaurant they asked me where im from and then asked me to open the app, so they are aware of it.
