Description
This experience combines two distinctly Parisian worlds in one memorable day: the creativity of French perfume and the architectural grandeur of Palais Garnier. Rather than simply visiting Paris landmarks, you'll create something of your own. Design your personal fragrance and take it home as a unique souvenir before stepping inside the magnificent Palais Garnier to discover its Grand Staircase, golden salons and spectacular Grand Foyer. For guests wanting more, an optional Galeries Lafayette experience adds another side of Paris. Thanks to our partnership with Galeries Lafayette, this option includes a complimentary gift that can be used at Le Gourmet towards French food, pastries or chocolates, or towards something special to take home. It's more than sightseeing — it's a chance to create, discover, taste and take a little piece of Paris home.
