12/04/2021

Have you been dreaming about the days when you could explore Paris’ intricate and inspiring culture by visiting its emblematic museums and monuments? In this particular period where so many public places have to stay closed, here are nonetheless some of our possible suggestions to continue immersing yourself in French history and art.

 

City tour in a vintage car

Discover this magnificent city in an original and romantic way by choosing between our selection of exclusive vintage cars, for instance, a 2CV, a Citroën Traction, a Cadillac or a Jaguar Type E.

And for the most unique city tour we invite you to experience the beautiful sights of Paris in a 1930’s British convertible with your private driver. This vintage limousine is truly one of a kind and it is the only one in Paris. The 1930s music playing form the gramophone and the Champagne bottle waiting for you in the car will create the perfect romantic atmosphere. In this iconic vintage car, be sure to turn everyone’s head!

If you want to delve deeper into the history of Paris, why not take one of our expert historians with you? He or she will tell you all there is to know about the City of Lights, while sitting at the front next to the driver, so that you can still have your own space and privacy.

 

Virtual cultural lectures

This unique and bespoke experience gives you the opportunity to (re)discover the history of art. Led by our selected expert lecturers, this innovative approach to culture and art actually enables a much more open and cross-cutting perspective compared to a traditional guided tour.

Create your very own conference or choose from the large selection we offer, which includes:

  • Picasso – RodinCulture April 2021 1
  • The Louvre versus the Prado
  • New York through its museums
  • Marie-Antoinette
  • French Riviera
  • Bernard Arnault versus François Pinault
  • Art and gastronomy

And many more!

 

Open-air culture

As one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Paris is an open-air museum. To immerse yourself in its culture, history and art, you just need to step outside and you will be immediately surrounded by its emblematic monuments and hidden gems.

Next time you go for a walk, opt for a less obvious choice than your usual park. For instance, you could take some time to have a guided tour in the Sculpture Garden at Musée Rodin. In the heart of the 7th arrondissement, you will be able to admire the artist’s works while enjoying a pleasant walk in the park.

Or if you prefer a more modern and contemporary atmosphere, head to Le Marais, where you will be able to admire some of the most original and innovative street art in the city. In this fascinating quartier, tradition, in particular with these magnificent 17th century private houses, mixes with modernity and many walls have been covered by the works of some of the world’s best known street artists.
