Louis Vuitton launched the Journées Particulières in 2011 in order to give the public a chance to discover the vast diversity of métiers and savoir-faire at LVMH Maisons. The initiative by the house reflects the LVMH Group’s tribute to artisanal excellence found at its Maisons and to Europe’s unique heritage of craftsmanship. The event also highlights the strong heritage in spanning workshops, wine cellars, private mansions, family homes, historic stores and more. For France and other European countries with a long history of traditional craftsmanship, this savoir-faire is an unparalleled asset that underpins economic success and cultural influence. (LVMH)
During the 2011, 2013, 2016, and 2018 editions of Les Journées Particulières, LVMH opened its doors to several hundred thousand people to present the immense wealth of heritage at LVMH Maisons that is passed on from one generation to the next. Guided tours featuring artisanal skills, talks and interactive presentations on artisans – watchmakers, couturières, perfume flacon sealers, shoemakers, cellar masters, jewelers, trunk makers, riddlers, head seamstresses, and chefs are exhibited. The sites opened in France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, UK, and Poland and included the Christian Dior haute couture salons on Avenue Montaigne, Louis Vuitton’s special orders workshop in Asnières, Chaumet’s salons on Place Vendôme, the Berluti bespoke shoes workshop, the Hennessy tasting room in Cognac, Guerlain’s Orphin production site, the Louis Vuitton workshop in the Drôme region, the Numanthia wine estate in Spain, the Acqua di Parma perfume house in Italy, and the watch manufactures of Zenith, TAG Heuer and Hublot in Switzerland.
