A Creative Immersion for Artists, Seekers & Storytellers
This is an immersive creative experience for artists, makers, writers, and passionate observers—those who are ready to explore the sensual rhythms of Paris in a deeper way. The art Immersions team will be joined by Parisian artists, perfumers, chefs, and craftspeople. Each day opens into a new sensory focus and a new way of perceiving.
A New Creative Frequency
From boutique meringue ateliers to hidden fragrance labs, secret galleries to sound experiences that awaken the present moment—this is a creative reset. It’s a tuning fork for your inner artist. A curated immersion into the textures, tones, and tempos of a city designed for beauty.
Time to Create. Space to Breathe.
