with our unusual tours
Paris is full of hidden treasures and iconic cultural landmarks that deserve far more than just a quick visit. At Cultival, we have embraced originality by offering you unique tour experiences that go beyond traditional sightseeing. Our mission? To help you discover exceptional sites and collections differently: through games, immersive shows, or behind-the-scenes tours. We also take you where others don't, into privileged spaces usually closed to the public. Our selection of guided tours reveals the backstage of prestigious monuments, uncovers the hidden secrets of cultural institutions, and creates exceptional moments at the heart of Parisian heritage. Accompanied by our passionate and expert guide-lecturers, you’ll discover the history, anecdotes, and expertise that bring these extraordinary places to life. Enjoy our activities with family or friends and let your imagination run free. Cultival offers different formats to suit your preferences: individual visits for the curious, unusual destinations for off-the-beaten-track discoveries, family activities for shared experiences, and group offers for businesses or associations. We also design tailor-made experiences for your corporate events. Whether you are seeking new discoveries during a tourism-focused stay, eager to travel differently, or a company looking to offer a memorable experience to your teams, Cultival transforms every tour into a unique cultural adventure combining pleasure, emotion, and knowledge.

As well as our themed visits
Heritage and culture take on new meaning through tours designed and created for you by Cultival and its cultural partners.
Museums, artists' workshops, and architectural landmarks open their doors to you for unique experiences, such as immersive shows, offering a true cultural, emotional, and human adventure. Enjoy an unexpected getaway with family or as a couple. Let yourself be amazed by AURA INVALIDES, a nighttime sound and light show that transforms the Dôme des Invalides or follow Arsène Lupin's trail during a game at the Palais Garnier, discovering the Opera’s secret. Original behind-the-scenes tours reveal places usually closed to the public. Explore the hidden spaces of the Stade de France, discover the backstage of Roland-Garros stadium, stroll through the UNESCO headquarters where global heritage preservation decisions are made alongside major artists' works, or watch craftsmen at work at the Manufactures des Gobelins. These privileged tours offer a unique perspective on exceptional sites and unveil the untold stories that shape their soul. For lovers of outdoor tours, we invite you to discover unusual places, cemeteries, gardens, and surrounding parks. Neighbourhood tours offer a different way to explore Paris: wander through the elegant covered passages, uncover the criminal cases that marked the capital, explore the mysteries of Notre-Dame, or admire the street art at Butte-aux-Cailles. Whether you are an Emily à Paris fan or curious about the secrets of Père Lachaise, these walks reveal another side of Paris. Every neighbourhood tells a unique story that our guides are delighted to share.
Our passionate guides turn each tour into a friendly moment where history meets storytelling, letting you experience Paris with intensity. Their deep knowledge of the capital ensures a memorable experience, far from traditional guided tours.
