Crafting your perfect luxury adventure in France is about so much more than simply seeing the sights. It’s a personal journey, artfully woven with moments of elegance, curiosity, and comfort. Imagine discovering Paris from atop the Eiffel Tower during a private sunset dinner, gliding through the silent halls of the Louvre after hours, or exploring the storied Loire Valley in a vintage car paired with exclusive wine tastings. For the discerning traveller, France unveils a world of iconic attractions, seamlessly curated with care, creativity, and trustworthy expertise. Let’s explore how your own unforgettable experience awaits in the heart of France’s most captivating destinations.
Unveiling Iconic Elegance at the Eiffel Tower
Uncover Parisian elegance with a private dining experience atop the Eiffel Tower.
Dreaming of the Eiffel Tower is effortless, but slipping past the crowds and ascending to its upper decks for a private, gourmet dining experience is the essence of true luxury. Crafted for those who crave exclusivity, private dining atop the Eiffel Tower transforms a Parisian highlight into an intimate celebration. Discover local gastronomy under twinkling city lights, with private tables reserved just for you—this is Paris as only a select few experience it.
Recently, a couple shared with us how their bespoke travel concierge orchestrated a sunset picnic at the top. Blanketed in golden light, a carefully curated spread of French delicacies awaited them. As they raised a toast above the city rooftops, Paris felt endlessly theirs—romance, privacy, and a view no postcard can match. This personal narrative illustrates not only the possibility but the care and expertise poured into designing each moment with Designer Journeys’ trusted local support.
Arranging such an exclusive affair calls for insight and foresight. Bookings should be made at least three months ahead, especially for prime time sunset slots. Premium private dining often starts from €250 per person, with the most extraordinary packages—complete with private lifts, curated wine pairings, and after-hours access—commanding a higher investment. The dress is smart and sophisticated, reflecting the significance of the occasion and Parisian style. Our expert tip: learn a few local French greetings to enhance your welcome and trust your travel designer to handle every seamless detail—from dietary preferences to private transfers.

Embrace the Majesty of the Louvre After Hours
Experience the iconic Louvre Museum in total tranquility on a private after-hours guided tour.
Imagine wandering through the Louvre’s grand, marble halls after the last of the day’s visitors has left. The solitude lends the art a personal voice, and every masterpiece—Mona Lisa’s elusive smile, the Winged Victory’s ancient grandeur—speaks directly to you. With a private expert guide at your side, art history becomes a captivating story tailored to your passions, free of distractions and crowds. This is an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience crafted for those who thirst for insight, calm, and creative immersion.
One solo traveller shared their account of a morning that began with a peaceful stroll through the Tuileries Garden, the air fragrant and pathways empty. By the time they reached the Louvre, the city was just waking; soon, an expert guide welcomed them inside. As they wandered through hushed galleries, each painting felt more alive, every sculpture perfectly lit. Together, they uncovered hidden treasures, while the city’s bustle remained far away. The support of a knowledgeable Designer Journeys guide, warm and ever-present, made for not only a memorable tour but a moment of personal connection—to the art, the city, and themselves.
Booking a private, after-hours Louvre tour is an investment in serenity and depth. Prices range from €100 and up per person, depending on the time, group size, and access to restricted galleries. Arrange your exclusive experience well in advance, and let your travel designer ensure every detail aligns with your interests—whether it’s Renaissance masters, Egyptian relics, or contemporary perspectives. Dress smartly, tip your local guide generously, and feel the confidence that comes from exploring France’s prized treasures in complete comfort and care.
Explore Loire Valley Châteaux with Wine Luxury
Discover the timeless beauty of Loire Valley estate vineyards and fairytale châteaux on a private luxury adventure.
Venture beyond Paris and the Loire Valley unfolds—a landscape dotted with Renaissance châteaux, stately gardens, and undulating vineyards. Create your ideal day with a luxury chauffeured wine-tasting journey, seamlessly blending culture, history, and gastronomy. Glide through the lush countryside in a vintage car, guided by a local expert with stories to share and secrets to unveil.
For one family, each moment was crafted with care and confidence. Their day began with a private drive, winding through blooming fields towards Château de Chambord’s turrets. At each château, knowledgeable hosts welcomed them for exclusive, small-batch wine tastings, complete with paired gourmet meals in serene private rooms. Children explored labyrinthine gardens while parents lingered over perfectly aged Sancerre. The highlight: an impromptu picnic beside the gentle Cher river, surrounded by scenery as enchanting as a painting. Personalised touches, from dietary preferences to cultural activities, transformed their adventure into a seamless cultural immersion.
Designing such an experience begins with expert guidance—selecting châteaux renowned for both their heritage and hospitality, and arranging for private access, transportation, and meals. Tastings are best reserved at least three months in advance, especially during spring and autumn when local vineyards truly shine. Admission costs and gourmet meals vary, but expect premium quality and unrivalled exclusivity. Tip: Ask your travel designer about tours led by the château owners themselves for genuine insight and stories passed from generation to generation. Every moment, every glass, every vista is designed to support your quest for discovery and delight.
Crafting a Seamless High-End Journey in France
Trusted guidance and local expertise turn your France journey into a seamless, truly high-end adventure.
Creating the ultimate France adventure means blending iconic moments with seamless comfort. Timing is pivotal: aim for late spring (May–June) or early autumn (September–October) when the crowds have thinned, the weather is gentle, and the true spirit of each region can be uncovered in peace. Expertly arranged private transfers from airports like Charles de Gaulle deliver you to your hotel in style and ease, letting you begin your journey with confidence from the very first moment.
Advance planning is key. Secure all private tours and exclusive experiences at least three months out. Local experts know not only where to go, but when—unlocking museum doors before hours, booking highly coveted tables, and ensuring festival tickets or sought-after vineyard slots are yours. Designer Journeys’ trusted support system ensures every booking, transfer, meal, and guide matches your unique preferences—so you can focus on inspiration and explore without concern.
Enhance your travels by learning basic French greetings and dining etiquette; a warm “bonjour” or polite “merci” opens doors and hearts everywhere. Dress to impress—upscale venues favour smart, stylish attire. Always tip local guides generously as a sign of respect and appreciation for their insider insight and professionalism. Above all, place your trust in local knowledge and allow your travel designer to create a personal, thoughtful, and extraordinary French journey—knowing that every detail is handled with genuine care.
