Paris trip for Hermes

[papertiger]

Please try to stay on topic. I realise because of the complexity of some of the posts members may veer off but in answer do not 'go there'.

For info and questions on US customs please post on the thread below: post https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/us-customs-discussion-airports-importing.905560/

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.

Go to the pharmacie on 2 Blvd Filles du Calvaire and get your cdc card converted into a QR code there. I never got my QR code from the French govt despite applying ten days in advance nor did my sister. (It never came even after we got back to the US.) This takes 10 euros and is done in 10 min. Scan the QR code to TousAntiCovid and boom you have a normal pass sanitaire. Don’t stress with the online application - certain pharmacies can convert this for you.

Also, if you do want to get a rapid test, it’s 29 euros. It’s also valid for your return to the US. Something else to note - you usually have to go to the pharmacie to pay for the test, fill out your information and then take a slip of paper to a tent outside. It’s not done in the same location. Additionally, France is going to start charging french citizens in October for covid tests so not sure if they will raise the price on foreigners then as well.

Thank you for the inside scoop

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 ?

Hermes did not require it when I went in late August. Big dept stores like Printemps, Le Bon Marché, and Galeries Lafayette will require it though.

The health pass was only checked upon entering restaurants for dining there. Cannot remember any retail store asking for it.

All the department stores I went into asked for it. They had special entrances too with “bouncers” that checked it. When I hadn’t yet gotten the QR code, Le Bon Marché did accept the CDC card and my passport.

Thanks @lunasauntie @CrackBerryCream and @kim az - I’m in town less than 72 hours so will try to swing by.

Now that I think about it I think the (Etain?) K35 was yellow gold HW, there was a B30 in the same colour and that one looked RGHW. Sorry for the mix up. I'm not aware of only Bs having RGHW, can a more knowledgeable member chime in please?

I have a C24 in rghw. Got it from H George V

Sorry if this is off topic. Can stores in other countries request appointments at FSH for their clients ?

I don’t think so, I spoke with my SA from South Coast Plazza and she said she wasn’t able to secure an appointment for a family member at FSH

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?
