On September 19 and 20, to mark the 60^th anniversary of the launch of SAINT LAURENT rive gauche and on the occasion of the European Heritage Days, the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris—currently closed for renovation—is offering a guided walk through the heart of Paris.

Immerse yourself in the history of SAINT LAURENT rive gauche, a venture that revolutionized fashion. On September 26, 1966, Yves Saint Laurent opened his first ready-to-wear boutique at 21 Rue de Tournon, in Paris’s 6^th arrondissement. It was more than just a new address; it was the realization of a vision: ready-to-wear created with the same exacting standards and attention to detail as haute couture.

From Rue de Tournon and Rue Bonaparte to the Cour Carrée of the Louvre—where the SAINT LAURENT rive gauche runway shows were held—follow in the footsteps of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé. This out-of-the-ordinary tour will reveal the iconic locations, inspirations and behind-the-scenes moments of a journey that profoundly shaped the history of fashion.
