WHEN TO GO? 
EVERY SEASON HAS ITS CHARM, HERE ARE THE ONES WE LOVE MOST

A SEASON OF RENEWAL, PERFECTLY SUITED FOR INSPIRATION AND DISCOVERY

As France blossoms, so does its cultural spirit.

Spring invites you into the hidden ateliers of Parisian artisans, where glassmakers, bookbinders, and calligraphers share their timeless crafts.

Stroll through sculpture gardens in full bloom with a private art historian, or attend an intimate piano recital in a candlelit chapel in Provence.

From literary salons in Saint-Germain to spring exhibitions in grand châteaux, this is a season for poetic beauty and quiet wonder.

LONG DAYS, GOLDEN LIGHT, AND IMMERSIVE ENCOUNTERS WITH LIVING HERITAGE

In summer, culture spills into the streets and landscapes.

Experience open-air opera in the courtyards of historic estates or take part in a Provençal harvest festival where age-old traditions still flourish.

Savor twilight garden tours led by château curators or uncover Roman ruins with a private archaeologist. Whether it’s tracing the roots of Impressionism or exploring the legacy of perfume in Grasse, summer offers rich, sensorial journeys into France’s soul.

HARVEST SEASON, A TIME FOR DEPTH, RICHNESS, AND THOUGHTFUL EXPLORATION

Bespoke cultural journeys in France & Monaco take on a deeper resonance in autumn, as the leaves turn and France’s cultural heart beats slower and deeper.

Visit working abbeys for chants and ancestral rituals, or enjoy private tours of rarely open galleries, guided by the curators themselves.

Join vineyard owners for art and wine pairings in centuries old cellars, or attend literary readings by the fire in historic homes.

Autumn’s golden light and gentle rhythm offer the perfect backdrop for intimate, reflective cultural discovery.

A QUIET SEASON STEEPED IN TRADITION, ELEGANCE, AND INNER WARMTH

Winter reveals a more intimate France, refined, reflective and deeply rooted.

Step inside private museums after dark, where expert-led tours bring centuries to life in hushed salons.

Attend a Baroque concert in a candlelit chapel or a festive culinary masterclass in a historic Parisian apartment.

From bespoke bookbinding in hidden ateliers to curated antiquing in the covered passages, winter’s magic lies in the detail, the silence, and the enduring soul of the French art de vivre.
