Join us for an intimate week in Paris designed exclusively for stitchers — where art, history, and needlepoint weave together as beautifully as a French tapestry. Limited to just 8 guests, this exclusive retreat invites you to settle into a charming boutique hotel in the heart of Rue Cler and experience the City of Light the way it was meant to be savored: slowly, joyfully, and needle in hand. You’ll sip champagne while cruising past the Eiffel Tower in a vintage Citroën 2CV, stitch in Montmartre where Picasso once painted, explore the Louvre’s masterpieces with a private guide, and draw color inspiration from Monet and DaVinci for your own canvas. Exclusive visits to celebrated French needlepoint ateliers, a private Seine River “Stitch & Sail,” a royal day at Versailles, and behind-the-scenes access to the famed Gobelins tapestry workshops bring France’s decorative arts to life. Along the way, enjoy curated stitcher gift bags, a limited-edition Paris canvas, guest instructors, boutique shopping, and evening stitch circles with new friends. Stitch by stitch, you'll fall in love with the City of Light!
