Begin your morning at the Musée du Parfum Fragonard near Opéra, where free guided tours reveal centuries of perfumery craft through nearly 300 artifacts, from ancient Egyptian vessels to Art Deco flacons. From there, step into the legendary Galeries Lafayette to admire its soaring 1912 Art Nouveau stained-glass dome and browse Europe's largest beauty department, then cross Boulevard Haussmann to Printemps, where a classified Historic Monument cupola crowns floor after floor of luxury fashion. In the afternoon, head to La Galerie Dior on rue François 1er to walk through 13 rooms of archival haute couture gowns and see the reconstructed office where Christian Dior sketched his revolutionary New Look. End the day at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in the Bois de Boulogne, Frank Gehry's glass-sailed masterpiece housing contemporary art across 11 galleries with rooftop views over the Paris skyline. La Galerie Dior and the Fondation Louis Vuitton are both closed on Tuesdays, and advance online booking for La Galerie Dior is strongly recommended as time slots sell out weeks ahead.
