If you happen to be in France or nearby in mid-October, I have an idea for you.

From October 16 to 18, 2026, LVMH will once again open the doors of its workshops and ateliers — the sixth edition of the Les Journées Particulières project will take place at 65 locations across 11 countries.

Every few years, the LVMH group opens its historic workshops, wineries, ateliers, jewelry houses, and other places usually closed to visitors, free of charge.
The program includes: meetings with artisans, tours of ateliers, demonstrations of craft techniques, masterclasses, tastings, and a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of luxury items.

Among the participants:
Louis Vuitton — historic workshops and ateliers.
Dior — the world of haute couture and perfumery.
Chaumet, Bvlgari, Tiffany & Co. — jewelry artistry.
Guerlain, Parfums Christian Dior, Maison Francis Kurkdjian — perfume houses.
Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Ruinart, Krug, Cheval Blanc, Château d'Esclans — wine cellars and champagne houses.
You can even visit the Hennessy cooperage in Cognac (as well as the production itself).

By the way, the event takes place not only in France but also in Italy/Spain/Switzerland, though the program there is not as extensive, for obvious reasons, but still interesting.
If you happen to be in China, you can visit Chandon in the Ningxia region, or Glenmorangie in Scotland.

Participation: free, with prior registration.
Booking opens in September 2026, and spots for many tours are limited.

By the way, you can get to Paris for these dates for 15,800 OW, which is more than fine.
