Our Philosophy

Les balades d’exception were born from a slow and thoughtful journey—an exploration of new couture houses, perfumers, cosmetic ateliers, and the hidden realms of artisans whose hands carry extraordinary mastery.

At the heart of this vision lies a desire to illuminate, honor, and uplift French and international maisons that keep alive the rare traditions, gestures, and techniques still breathing in our modern world.

Each balade is imagined as a true human encounter: a path of initiation through art, creation, and the quiet wisdom of craft.

Here, participants are invited to meet the souls who shape these exceptional universes—to understand their intent, to feel the fervor that guides their hands, and to step into a culture where excellence is passed on like a whisper, through stories and through touch.

These balades are far more than visits: they are moments of awakening, of shared emotion, of rediscovered wonder.

They draw each traveler closer to the beauty of savoir-faire, and reveal the deep richness of the maisons that embody elegance, imagination, and the living heritage of creation.

The balade d’exception package offers a refined experience—an intimate interlude designed for small groups (minimum 3 people / maximum 6 people), where craftsmanship, encounters, and discoveries intertwine over the course of the hours.

Each formula unfolds at its own pace, yet both promise rare moments, shaped with intent and care.

Version 1: Morning Balade & Exceptional Breakfast

The day opens gently at 9 a.m., with an elegant breakfast crafted from products selected for their quality and freshness. This convivial moment is enriched by the presence of an artisan who, with passion, shares their craft, their gestures, and the spirit that inspires their creation.

What follows is a wandering journey through three additional maisons, each offering its own singular universe. Guided by the charm of the places and the richness of their stories, you will discover precious savoir-faire, unique atmospheres, and here and there, delicate surprises designed to prolong the sense of wonder.

An experience where every step becomes an encounter, and every discovery an emotion.

Version 2: Afternoon Balade & Chic, Unexpected Apéritif

Designed for those who savor the golden hours of the day, this formula unfolds in the afternoon—beginning at 2 p.m. and continuing into early evening. It opens with visits to several maisons carefully selected for their character, authenticity, and the inspiration they awaken.

As you journey through these stages, you step into a succession of worlds where elegance meets creativity. The balade reaches its crescendo with a refined, chic, and unexpected apéritif held in a privileged setting. This suspended moment—between tasting and the gentle glow of day’s end—offers a conclusion as subtle as it is unforgettable.

Price per person: €300 incl. VAT (Minimum 3 participants)

We have created a VIP package especially designed for those who wish to enjoy a rare, exclusive, and fully personalized moment. Envisioned for a solo experience or an intimate escape among friends, this bespoke format is limited to six guests, ensuring discretion, quality, and the quiet magic of every moment.

Throughout this unique interlude, you will be invited to meet passionate artisans and discover extraordinary luxury houses, each selected for their remarkable savoir-faire and their innate sense of refinement. Every encounter is meant to be authentic, inspiring, and meaningful—offering privileged access to worlds that are usually kept private.

The balade continues with a gastronomic lunch crafted as a true sensory experience. Delicate flavors, subtle pairings, and an exquisite setting come together to create a moment of softness and prestige, to be savored with intention.

Because this exclusive offering requires meticulous, tailor-made arrangements, reservations must be made at least 15 days prior to the chosen date.

Pricing is provided on request, ensuring that each proposal perfectly reflects your desires and your level of expectation.

Treat yourself to the elegance of a refined escape, where every detail is designed to elevate your experience.
