Overview

Just steps from the iconic Opéra Garnier, discover a hidden side of Paris: the vibrant world of art and antiques auctions. This guided experience takes you inside the legendary Hôtel Drouot, where treasures go under the hammer every day — from vintage handbags and classic paintings to rare collectibles and interior décor.

Since the 19th century, Drouot has been a central hub for the French art market. You’ll explore this historic venue, attend live auctions, and feel the excitement as the bidding unfolds — whether you're looking to buy or simply curious to observe.

With an expert guide by your side, you’ll get tips on how to examine artworks, antiques, and vintage pieces — and decode the unique etiquette of the auction house, and learn how to navigate like an insider.

Who knows — you might even go home with a one-of-a-kind Parisian souvenir.
