Rue de Valois is a street in the Palais-Royal quarter in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, France.
The 377-meter-long-street starts at 202, Rue Saint-Honoré and ends at 1, Rue de Beaujolais. It has a north-south orientation and is a one-way street.
The street was named after Louis Philippe I, Duke of Valois, the son of Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orléans.
To pay debts, Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, the owner of the Palais-Royal, decided to divide the lands around the Palais' garden into plots. The street was opened in 1784 under the name Passage de Valois. It was named Rue du Lycée from Thermidor 2, Year VI (July 20, 1798) to April 27, 1814; then it was called Rue de Valois-Palais-Royal to distinguish it from Rue de Valois-Saint-Honoré (disestablished in the 1850s) and Rue de Valois-du-Roule (merged into Rue de Monceau in 1868).

During the July Revolution, clashes between insurgents and troops took place in the street.
Under the Second Republic, the street was renamed Rue du Vingt-Quatre-Février ("February 24 Street") to commemorate the date of Louis Philippe I's abdication and of the provisional proclamation of the Republic.
The Palais-Royal is a former French royal palace located on Rue Saint-Honoré in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. The screened entrance court faces the Place du Palais-Royal, opposite the Louvre. Originally called the Palais-Cardinal, it was built for Cardinal Richelieu from about 1633 to 1639 by architect Jacques Lemercier. Richelieu bequeathed it to Louis XIII, before Louis XIV gave it to his younger brother, Philippe I, Duke of Orléans. As the succeeding Dukes of Orléans made such extensive alterations over the years, almost nothing remains of Lemercier's original design.
