What to expect

You'll start with a warm welcome and brief orientation before heading into the gardens with your instructor. Expect to spend time at chosen spots drawing what catches your eye—architecture, people, light, foliage—while your instructor circulates offering direct feedback and technique tips. The pace is unhurried; you're not racing through sites but rather slowing down to really observe. Between drawing sessions, your guide shares historical and artistic context about the locations you're visiting, connecting what you see to Paris's creative heritage. Bring comfortable shoes and dress for the weather.

Good to know

All materials are supplied, so arrive with just yourself. The route is fully wheelchair accessible with level surfaces throughout. Public transport stops are nearby if you need them. Sessions run rain or shine, so pack layers or a light jacket.
