Voyages sur mesure à Paris
The city that invented the art of walking.
Qu'est-ce qu'un voyage sur mesure à Paris?
A custom Paris tour replaces preset itineraries with experiences tailored to your interests. Spend three hours in a single museum or neighborhood. Work with local guides—art historians, chefs, architects—who know Paris's hidden courtyards, independent galleries, and family-run bistros. You control the pace, the focus, and the discovery.
Paris rewards the unhurried. A custom Paris tour means skipping the hop-on-hop-off circuit and spending a morning in a single Marais courtyard, then ending the day with wine on a barge under the Pont des Arts. You'll walk the same streets Hemingway walked, but on your own terms—lingering where others rush, discovering what guidebooks miss.
The city invented the art of walking, and your itinerary should honor that. Whether you're studying Vermeer with an art historian in the Louvre's hushed galleries, or tracing street art through Belleville's graffitied alleyways, each moment is designed around what captivates you. This is not tourism; it's becoming a temporary resident of Paris's rhythms.
From the gardens of Versailles before dawn breaks the crowds, to backstage access at the Opéra Garnier where you'll stand on the same stage as Caruso, your custom tour unlocks Paris as few ever experience it. Spring and autumn frame the city in golden light. Your tour begins at €2,200 per person and scales with your ambitions.

7 jours classique
- 1Jour 1: Arrival & Left Bank ReconnaissanceYou arrive at Charles de Gaulle or Orly and transfer to your Left Bank hotel, positioned near the Sorbonne and Panthéon. Afternoon orientation walk along the Seine, crossing Pont Marie to the Île Saint-Louis for late-lunch at Berthillon (the island's legendary ice cream). Evening aperitif on a terrace in the 5th as the sun sets behind Notre-Dame. Jet lag is no match for Paris's light.
- 2Jour 2: Private Louvre Morning with an Art HistorianYou meet your art historian guide at 8 a.m., before the crowds arrive. Today you're not racing through galleries; you're spending two hours with a single period—perhaps the Dutch masters, Renaissance portraiture, or Impressionist color theory. She reveals what the audio guide cannot: brushwork, provenance, the artist's secret obsessions. Lunch in the Palais Royal gardens afterward, surrounded by arcades and discretion.
- 3Jour 3: Marais Hidden-Courtyard Walking TourThe Marais is a puzzle of Renaissance mansions and Jewish delis, medieval streets and modern galleries. Your guide leads you into private courtyards (cour d'honneur) that tourists never find—geometric gardens, Renaissance staircases, the faded grandeur of 17th-century nobility. Stop at L'As du Fallafel on Rue des Rosiers for lunch. Afternoon browsing in independent bookshops and vintage boutiques around Place des Vosges.
- 4Jour 4: Versailles Garden Tour Before the CrowdsYou depart early for Versailles, arriving by 7:30 a.m. The gardens are yours alone—no selfie sticks, no tour groups. Your guide walks you through the Latona parterre, the Orangery, the Grand Canal as light breaks across the water. By 11 a.m., the palace opens; you skip the queues with timed-entry tickets. Late lunch in the town of Versailles, away from the palace crowds, in a neighborhood bistro.
- 5Jour 5: Belleville Street Art and Local BistrosNortheast Paris, where rent is real and artists still thrive. You explore Belleville's ever-changing murals and galleries with a street artist or curator who knows which walls are next. This is Paris unpolished—vintage shops, Vietnamese pho joints, graffiti-covered metro entrances, young people making things. Dinner at a neighborhood bistro where the wine list is handwritten and the chef is from Lyon.
- 6Jour 6: Opéra Garnier Backstage Access & Grand BoulevardsPrivate backstage access to the Palais Garnier, the most beautiful opera house in the world. You walk the Grand Staircase, stand on stage, see the ghost light that burns every night. Your guide explains the engineering, the history, the secrets. Afternoon exploring the Grand Boulevards—Hausmann's 19th-century vision of light and perspective. Evening at a café watching the city move.
- 7Jour 7: Seine Evening Cruise with Champagne & DepartureYour final afternoon is unscheduled—a last coffee, a last bookshop, a last walk through a neighborhood that claimed you. At dusk, you board a private barge under the Pont des Arts with champagne and charcuterie. The city slides past: Notre-Dame lit gold, the Eiffel Tower emerging from dusk, the Louvre's glass pyramid. Then to the airport, carrying Paris in your memory.

Informations pratiques
Foire aux questions
When is the best time to visit Paris?+
April through June and September through October offer ideal conditions: mild temperatures (15–22°C), longer daylight, fewer crowds than summer, and Paris's famous golden light. May has abundant flowers; September brings back residents after August exodus and offers clearer skies. Winter (November–February) is moody and atmospheric but cold; summer (July–August) is hot, crowded, and many Parisians leave.
How many days do I need for a custom Paris tour?+
Seven days allows you to experience the city's major currents: museums, neighborhoods, gardens, and evening culture. Fourteen days lets you slow down, explore regional extensions (Normandy, Loire Valley), and develop genuine relationships with favorite cafés and streets. Four days is minimum for a meaningful Paris visit; three days feels rushed.
Do I need a visa for Paris?+
US, UK, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand passport holders enjoy 90 days visa-free under the Schengen Agreement. EU and Swiss citizens need only national ID. Other nationalities require a Schengen tourist visa, typically valid for 90 days and processed online or through a consulate. Apply 6–8 weeks before travel.
What is the cost of a 7-day custom Paris tour?+
Custom tours start at €2,200 per person for seven days, including curated experiences, private guides, museum access, and planning. This excludes flights, accommodation, meals at restaurants, and personal transport. Regional extensions (Normandy, Versailles) add €400–€800 per day. Group discounts available for 4+ people. Budget €150–€250 daily for meals.
What should I pack for a Paris tour?+
Comfortable walking shoes are essential—Paris is best explored on foot, and cobblestones are unforgiving. Bring layers for spring/autumn (temperature swings from 10°C to 20°C). A lightweight scarf (foulard) works year-round for warmth and Parisian style. Neutral colors blend better than bright tourist wear. Rain jacket in spring; sunscreen in May–September. Leave luggage at your hotel for day excursions.
