    Musee des Arts Decoratifs

    Begin at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, the national vault of French craftsmanship located inside the Louvre Palace. With your private expert, you will go beyond simple display to discover objects designed to be lived with—from furniture and fashion to jewelry and tableware. You will come face-to-face with pieces created for the courts of the Sun King, Marie-Antoinette, and Napoleon. Your guide will help you decode the design principles and rare materials, such as gold, mother-of-pearl, and shagreen, that still rule Parisian style and daily life today

    1 hour Admission ticket included
  • Tuileries Garden (Pass by)

    Continue with your private guide through the Tuileries Gardens and along the elegant streets of Rue Saint-Honoré to see where Parisian style lives today. This walking tour decodes the window displays of iconic houses like Chanel, Cartier, and Yves Saint Laurent. Rather than a shopping trip, this is a masterclass in the 'quiet art' of Parisian elegance. Your expert will explain how Parisians use silhouettes and materials to express confidence without excess, and how the city's architecture and street layout influence how style is worn. You'll also learn the art of the café terrace—choosing the right seat and observing the city's unique attitude toward fashion.

    Your finale takes place at Fragonard’s perfume atelier and workshop, where you will discover the subtle language of fragrance as an expression of identity and taste. Guided by a fragrance expert, you will participate in a hands-on perfume workshop to create your own personalized eau de toilette. You will learn how perfumes are built, how various ingredients interact, and how geography and generations of French know-how shape excellence in perfumery. At the end of the session, you will take your unique creation home as a refined and personal souvenir of your Parisian experience
