Suresnes, City of Perfume: a unique guided tour of the perfume industry

The Suresnes Tourist Office and lecturer Murielle Bouteau are offering a unique guided tour on the history of perfumery and the leading perfumers based in Suresnes

The Suresnes Tourist Office has teamed up with the passionate lecturer Murielle Bouteau to offer a unique tour dedicated to the town’s fragrant history[cite: 129]. From Jean-Louis Fargeon (Marie-Antoinette’s perfumer) to François Coty (the inventor of modern perfumery), Suresnes stands out as a historic hub of the perfume industry. The tour consists of two parts: an introductory presentation at the new Tourist Office, followed by a two-hour indoor segment and then a half-hour outdoor stroll through the streets and past the monuments associated with these great names (the Balsan Pavilion, the Worth estate, and the Coty factory).
