My internship at Limo Premium Services introduced me to the dynamic and unique world of cultural guiding in a luxurious private car setting, within an agile, demanding, and independent environment. During this time, I was entrusted with designing an exclusive cultural tour centered around the rich heritage of French craftsmanship.

Together with my mentor Serge and in close collaboration with our experienced chauffeur Sam and partner private guides, Flora and Flore Gurrey, we developed an original itinerary blending visits to prestigious artisans’ workshops, exclusive cultural spots, and bespoke discovery moments.

When traveling with Limo Premium Services, you’re invited to unlock doors to exclusive worlds usually inaccessible to the public. For example, you can visit Florian Bourgine’s exceptional woodworking atelier (13 Rue Jean-Baptiste Pigalle), where antique furniture is meticulously restored using noble woods and authentic techniques passed down through generations or a hidden animalier Sculptor atelier :

Step into ABY Atelier (10 Rue du Moulin Joly), a place renowned for its expertise in traditional finishing, patina, and gilding, ensuring antique furniture regains its original grandeur and elegance.

Experience the refined luxury of French craftsmanship at Dissidi (36 Avenue Daumesnil), a prestigious establishment awarded the French label “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant,” reflecting a legacy of exceptional marquetry and furniture-making skills dating back to 1870.

For lovers of exquisite leatherwork, Cuir Tassin (25 Rue Claude Bernard) offers an intimate look into the meticulous art of luxury leather coverings, collaborating with esteemed fashion houses and renowned artisans to maintain the highest standards of French elegance and excellence.

And to marvel at the magical interplay of color and light, explore the timeless art of stained glass with visits to La Méduse du Vitrail (13 Rue Castex) and the serene atelier of Emanuel Javaloyes, Vitrail de Bièvre (26 Rue de Bièvre). Here, you can witness firsthand the ancient techniques of creating and restoring stained glass, preserving France’s luminous heritage.

“Paris, the city of lights, has always been synonymous with culture, luxury, and timeless elegance. France’s artistic legacy, spanning centuries, thrives not only in its famous museums but also within hidden workshops and ateliers, where master artisans preserve traditions and breathe new life into historical craftsmanship.”
Serge, seasoned driver in Paris

Finally, no journey through French craftsmanship is complete without discovering the luxurious secrets of Versailles, where the grandeur of royal traditions still whispers through the halls, and the artistry of the Sun King’s era is vividly brought to life by dedicated contemporary artisans like the Atelier du Soleil.

We can still explore the town and the gardens of Versailles with a driver.
