Paris: Preserved Flower Arrangement Workshop
Imagine spending an afternoon in Paris learning a craft that turns fragile, dried flowers into stunning bouquets—all while enjoying personalized attention and a relaxed atmosphere. For $94 per person, this 1.5-hour workshop offers a hands-on experience with Kimiko, a skilled instructor guiding you through the art of floral design. Located in the Île-de-France region, this activity is perfect for those who want a creative break from sightseeing and leave with a beautiful, handcrafted keepsake.
What we love most about this experience is the professional environment equipped with all the necessary facilities—meaning you don’t need to worry about bringing your own tools or materials. Plus, the opportunity to capture the process with plenty of photos makes it ideal for sharing your new skills or simply reliving the fun later. Another highlight is the chance to create a gift for someone special—an elegant dried flower bouquet that lasts longer than fresh flowers.
A potential drawback? The workshop is not suitable for children under 10, so if you’re traveling with little ones, you might need to plan accordingly.

Overall, if you’re eager to explore a unique art form while enjoying a relaxed, small-group setting, this workshop will suit you perfectly.
