Picturesque Voyages

Picturesque Voyages offers small-group and private English-speaking tours inspired by historic gardens in Paris and its environs. While exploring cultural landscapes at monumental châteaux, strolling through the streets of Paris, or looking at exceptional paintings at the Musée d’Orsay and Louvre, our certified guides reveal how gardens have contributed to French art, culture and European history. Each tour is curated as a leisurely-paced, open-air classroom for the adult learner, allowing for a deeper dive into a specific site or subject. Our specially designed sensorial tours connect the garden to the table, and explore the garden’s influence on French perfume and the culinary arts. Combine tours for a total immersion in all facets of garden culture and transform your sight-seeing into an enriching, lifelong learning experience.
