Free yourself on September 19 and 20! The Luxsure editorial team has concocted a fun, prestigious and Parisian tour, placed under the sign of jewelry and glamour.
Let’s avoid the National Museums which will be crowded with tourists. Let’s discover the hidden Paris, that of the great Parisian families who hold secrets that are worth their weight in gold. Starting with an exploration of the Mellerio Jewelry Workshop known as Meller. For the first time, the family will open its doors to unveil objects of goldsmithery, archival documents and other wonders… A nice way to discover jobs that we did not imagine, how the stone is cut or the steps of manufacturing a jewel.
Not far from there, an address that is worth the detour: the Manufacture de Soieries Prelle which participates for the first time in the European Heritage Days. The place is splendid, classified historic monument. The staircase that gives access to the salons sets the tone: from the time of Louis XIV, one puts one’s weight down with delicacy! The visit is commented to give the spectator all the necessary information to understand the precious art of weaving and the differences in the treatment of silk between yesterday and today.
The Prelle House
To end the day in beauty, direction the Moulin Rouge. The most famous cabaret in the world celebrates its 120th anniversary this year. For the occasion, he reveals himself to the enthusiasts who will be able to discover the backstage and the works of Toulouse-Lautrec from the theater to his dressing room.
Two days full of discoveries not to be missed.
