Explore perfume, Opéra Garnier, and macarons in one full-day tour led by an English-speaking tour host.

Getting started

Meet your English-speaking tour host at the designated starting point for this full-day tour. After your introduction, your host organizes all activity entrance tickets so you can move smoothly between each stop without extra planning. You then set off together toward Musée du Parfum Fragonard to begin your first hands-on workshop.

What to expect

Musée du Parfum Fragonard

This stop focuses on French fragrance craftsmanship at Musée du Parfum Fragonard. You move from learning about perfume creation to composing a signature scent of your own.

Features

• During the Fragonard perfume workshop, you are guided step by step through fragrance notes and combinations, gaining a practical understanding of how French perfumes are built.
• A personalized perfume to take home is included, created by you during the session so you leave with a made-to-measure scent as a concrete souvenir of the workshop.
• Your English-speaking tour host remains with you throughout the day, helping coordinate timing, introductions, and any questions so you can focus on the creative process.

Opéra Garnier

Your day continues with a visit to Opéra Garnier, one of Paris's most iconic cultural landmarks and home to rich architectural detail and performance history. The experience here centers on exploring the building with structured commentary rather than on a performance.

Features

• With your entry ticket to Opéra Garnier already arranged, you join a guided visit of Opéra Garnier that explains its architecture and context while you move through the interior spaces.
• The guided visit of Opéra Garnier is included and led so you can understand how this opera house fits into Parisian culture and why it is a key symbol of the French Art of Living.
• All activity entrance tickets for the day are preorganized, allowing you to transition in and out of Opéra Garnier and the other venues without separate on-site purchases.

Professional macaron workshop

Later, you join a professional macaron workshop that introduces you to one of France’s most recognizable pastries. The focus is on technique and participation rather than demonstration-only viewing.

Features

• Under the guidance of professional instructors, you learn the practical steps involved in making macarons, from preparation to assembly, in a structured kitchen setting.
• Macarons you make to take home are included, so you leave this workshop carrying the exact pastries you created during the session.
• A one glass of premium French wine serving is part of the experience for guests aged 18 and over, giving you time to pause and learn about its origin and character while you reflect on the day.

Alain Ducasse chocolate stop

Your experience also includes a gourmet element linked to a leading French chocolatier. This final treat adds a gastronomy-focused finish to a day centered on craftsmanship.

Features

• An Alain Ducasse chocolate souvenir to take home is provided, connecting you with Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse and its approach to French chocolate making.
• This chocolate souvenir complements the other tangible items from your day, such as your personalized perfume and the macarons you make to take home, so you finish with a collection of curated Parisian products.
