Begin the day with a private Paris photoshoot designed to capture memorable portraits against the city’s most photogenic backdrops, such as the Eiffel Tower, charming bridges, elegant streets, or scenic viewpoints. A professional photographer will help guide poses and make the session feel relaxed and natural, creating keepsake images that reflect the style and spirit of your trip. In the afternoon, take part in a perfume-making workshop where you will learn about fragrance notes, blending techniques, and the artistry behind French perfumery. With guidance from an expert, create a personalized scent to take home as a unique souvenir from Paris.

Enjoy a leisurely morning in Paris with time to slow down and experience the city at your own pace. You may choose to sleep in, linger over coffee at a neighborhood café, browse local boutiques, stroll through a nearby garden, revisit a favorite landmark, or simply take in the rhythm of Parisian daily life. In the evening, board a Seine River dinner cruise for a memorable meal on the water. As the boat glides past illuminated monuments, bridges, and riverfront landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, the Louvre, and Musée d’Orsay, enjoy a relaxed dining experience with beautiful city views and a romantic Paris-at-night atmosphere.
