What to expect

Step inside the world of Parisian style on an afternoon of , fragrance and chocolate. Discover how Paris became a fashion capital, experience a live fashion show at the iconic Galeries Lafayette, enter the fascinating world of French perfume at Fragonard and finish with exceptional chocolate from Alain Ducasse. A stylish journey through the creativity and savoir-faire that make Paris unique.

This experience puts you much closer to the creative process. The Ferrandi pastry component gives guests the opportunity to engage with French pâtisserie as a craft, making the activity more interactive and memorable than a standard tasting tour. The addition of French wine then expands the experience into another major part of French gastronomic culture. Together, the two elements create a balance between making, learning and tasting. It is particularly suited to passionate food travelers, couples and guests celebrating a special trip who want an activity they can actively participate in. Compared with our other gourmet experiences, this is the clearest choice for someone who values hands-on learning and culinary technique rather than sightseeing or shopping.
