From the first stop until the moment we say our goodbyes, you’ll get access to my insider knowledge as I introduce you to my favorite artists and galleries in Paris, leaving you with a memorable connection to the city’s contemporary art.

Matisse-inspired collage workshop for little artists

Bring Henri Matisse’s famous cutouts to life in an all-ages collage workshop inviting families to create together while discovering the genius of one of France’s most celebrated artists. • At Otipi Paris, a cozy creative space for families, hear the story of Matisse’s artistic evolution, focusing on his later years, when he pioneered “drawing with scissors” and created collage works like The Snail. • Young artists can select from a curated palette of vibrantly colored papers before using child-friendly scissors to cut organic shapes, spirals, and abstract forms—just as Matisse did. • I’ll share guidance on composition, layering, and color harmony and help the children arrange their cutouts. To personalize their work, they’ll add creative details and name their pieces, Matisse-style. • While the little ones work, adults can unwind with organic coffee and treats from Otipi’s cafe. I’ll share my favorite family-friendly art spots in Paris to visit afterwards. This workshop invites children to think like artists while exploring Paris through an artistic lens. Each reservation takes in consideration both the child and the parent.

No experience needed ! sculpt a one-of-a-kind bust in paris

My workshop begins with an absence: the absence of a model. Here, you won’t be copying a face—you’ll be shaping one from within. We’ll start with a few simple guidelines to ensure the key proportions and structures of the face are there, laying the foundation for a harmonious result. From there, I’ll guide you through understanding the angles and dynamics that bring a face to life and give it balance. Very quickly, touch becomes your most important tool. You’ll sculpt not by looking, but by feeling—relying on the sense of touch to sense the depth and form beneath your fingers. It’s an intuitive process, where emotion and form come together in the clay. After years of guiding hundreds of people from all around the world, I’ve developed a method that makes sculpture approachable and deeply personal for everyone—whether you have prior artistic experience or this is your first time working with clay. The workshop is held in small, intimate groups of no more than three people, ensuring each participant gets personalized attention and guidance. At the end of the session, if you'd like to keep your creation, we can fire it for you—turning your sculpture into a lasting ceramic piece and then ship it. You won’t leave with just clay on your hands, but with a tangible fragment of what you carry inside. Insta @haulet_art

Visite historique de la Révolution française

Cette visite guidée du quartier du Faubourg Saint-Antoine dans le 11ème et 12ème arrondissement de Paris met à l'honneur la Révolution française de 1789. En effet, le quartier est le berceau de la Révolution. Robin, votre guide, est professeur d'université à Paris et spécialisé dans l'histoire de Paris. Du Faubourg Saint-Antoine à la Bastille, revivons ensemble, heure par heure la journée du 14 juillet 1789. Tout d'abord, le groupe commencera le tour à Faidherbe-Chaligny dans l'est parisien pour découvrir les anciens ateliers d'ébéniste et d'artisans qui ont donné son identité au quartier. Nous explorerons ici les prémices historiques de la Révolution française. Ensuite, les participants découvrirons les petites rues, les petits passages du Paris du 18ème siècle, si typique de la Révolution. L'architecture sera mise à l'honneur tout comme l'Histoire. Nous pousserons les portes pour découvrir les cheminées cachées des manufactures et des industries (rue Saint-Bernard, passage Lhomme). Par la suite, nous déambulerons dans les rues de Charonne et de Lappe à la recherche de ce patrimoine révolutionnaire. Au passage, nous remarquerons que ces rues depuis la Révolution jusqu'à aujourd'hui sont des lieux dynamiques (restaurants, café, boutiques) où les Parisiens aiment flâner. Enfin, nous atteindrons la Bastille et tenterons de retrouver les vestiges de la forteresse royale.

Discover the Middle Ages in Paris

From the right bank to the ile de la Cité we will discover Paris from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. We will begin in front of a private mansion from the 17th century before visiting a gothic cellar from the 13th century. First immersion into the medieval life and in case of bad weather a warm stop! Then we will discover the most common building for the poor and middle class Parisians during the Middle Ages. We will have a look on a church to learn about medieval religious architecture. We will have a friendly stop in a lovely café to have a drink. On the ile de la Cité we will return into the atmosphere full of mysteries and legends with the love story of Héloïse and Abélard the French Romeo and Juliet, the life in Notre-Dame cloister and many other things... We will also make a jump through time during the Gallo-Roman period to discover Paris before Paris. We will finish the tour in front of the majestic Notre-Dame. I wish with this tour to make history come alive, to give the mute buildings of the past a voice and help you to engage with the city on a deeper level than typical tourist activities would. Other things to note Not accessible to baby strollers and wheelchairs. Plan a raincloth or umbrella in case ...
