HOW DOES IT WORK?
DESCRIPTION & ITINERARY
To delve into the heart of Paris' creative soul, we will take you to some of the meccas of the haute couture industry. The workshop of Ecole Lesage produces exquisite embroidery for Chanel, Givenchy and all the top fashion houses. Meet the fairy-fingered artisans who spend countless hours embroidering onto garments for famous ateliers.
Another unique skill honed here and coveted on the high fashion circuit is the handcrafting of haute couture flowers. Designers, shoemakers and jewellers adorn their creations with stunning replicas of camellia, rose, gardenia, iris, dahlia and orchid. Discover the secrets behind this unique and colourful art for your luxury private tour of Paris.
Head to the Ecole Ritz Escoffier where pastry chefs will divulge some of the delicious secrets involved in pâtisserie making. From mille feuille to financiers, the French know how to do it best. If your palate prefers savoury treats, then sample some fine local cheeses in a private salon. With five generations of expertise, Caves Legrand will pair each flavour with one of France's Grand Crus.
It would be remiss to visit the centre of fashion without browsing the boutiques of Rue Saint-Honoré and Place Vendôme. Explore in a vintage car or wander the districts of Montparnasse and Montmartre, where Art Nouveau and Art Deco artists once frequented the streets. To round off your sensorial journey, meet Blaise Mautin, a titan in the perfume industry. In the comfort of his home, this olfactory expert will introduce you to the infinite possibilities in the art of perfume making for your vacation.
By night, jazz clubs, cabarets and concert halls offer everything from classical and experimental to iconic and unknown. One evening, enjoy a private dinner in a Michelin star chef’s apartment. Thomas Boullault’s cosy apartment is the perfect venue for an intimate dinner party- combining home comforts with impeccable style and delicious cuisine. Thomas will prepare and serve an intimate dinner, effortlessly creating a perfect evening to cap off your luxury private tour of Paris.
Whatever you choose, there is something to lure you into a lifelong love affair with the City of Lights.
