Synesthesia & The Senses with Art Immersions
Inspired by the blending of the senses—where art, sound, and scent combine.
Nestled in the artistic heart of Montmartre, Paris becomes your sanctuary for a five-day creative retreat into art, culture, and connection.
Surrounded by the energy of painters, poets, and dreamers, this experience is a curated creative reset — an invitation to awaken your senses and live more artfully.
Inspired by the concept of synesthesia — where the senses merge and cross-illuminate — this journey blends art, architecture, fragrance, music, and storytelling into one immersive exploration of the city.
Through hands-on workshops, intimate dinners, and scent and sound experiences, you’ll rediscover inspiration, renew your creative rhythm, and connect with a circle of kindred spirits.

Location
Your home for the retreat in Paris
The vibrant and artistic neighborhood of Montmartre/Pigalle.
Our home base is in the heart of Montmartre, near Avenue Junot and Rue Lepic — one of Paris’s most charming and storied enclaves. This quiet, sunlit pocket of the neighborhood blends café culture, artist studios, and elegant village life — a true sanctuary within the city. Your boutique hotel blends comfort and style, offering the perfect space for reflection and renewal.
Known for its rich artistic past, Montmartre has been home to Picasso, Van Gogh, and Dalí. Its cobbled streets, cafés, and ateliers still pulse with creative energy — lined with patisseries, flower stalls, and award-winning bakeries. From here, you’ll venture into the wider city — discovering hidden fragrance studios, intimate concert halls, and gorgeous interiors that celebrate Parisian art and design.
Daily Flow
Each day follows a gentle rhythm designed for balance and discovery.
Morning: Connection, cultural exploration, and creative workshops.
Afternoon: Leisure, journaling, or open studio time.
Evening: Shared meals, performances, or quiet inspiration.
The pace is spacious and intentional — a retreat into beauty, rhythm, and presence.
Trip Curation
Every detail is handled with care — from your welcome dinner to your final toast.
Our team arranges your hotel, creative sessions, and curated experiences, so you can simply arrive and immerse yourself. Art Immersions is based in NYC and Paris, and we source the most authentic restraunts, experiences, studios and iteneraries so you gain a local perspective.
Who Comes on This Journey
This retreat attracts artists, designers, writers, and curious travelers from all walks of life.
No experience is required — only a desire to live more artfully. Whether you’re a practicing creative or simply seeking renewal, you’ll find a circle of kindred spirits who share your love for beauty, conversation, and discovery.
Creative Practices Along the Way
Each day offers guided prompts and open-ended exercises to awaken your senses:
Blind contour sketching — seeing without judgment
Scent mapping — translating fragrance into memory or emotion
Color stories — painting or collage inspired by your daily walk
Poetry from the market — writing through sensory metaphor
Sound journaling — documenting rhythm, noise, and stillness
These are invitations, not assignments — gentle ways to deepen perception, play, and creative flow.
