About this experience

Coco Chanel has been the subject of biographies, movies, television programs, and even books like “The Gospel According to Coco Chanel: Life Lessons from the World’s Most Elegant Woman.” Born Gabrielle Chanel, she defied humble origins to mingle with Europe's elite, including a few very notable lovers. She also transformed women's fashion with light fabrics and simple design, including the now iconic little black dress. This walk takes in the major sites associated with Coco Chanel's life, fashions, jewellery, and perfumes, as well as areas that were central to the fashion industry of the 19th and early to mid 20th centuries. The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

What you'll see and do

  1. Chanel

    The boutique on the ground floor of the Chanel headquarters sells everything from clothes to handbags to makeup. Look for the mirrored staircase at the north end of the boutique. (This audio tour does NOT include access to the boutique or other private areas) During fashion parades, Chanel would sit on the stairs, out of sight of the audience, watching the models and the audience’s reaction in the mirrors.

    Pass by without stopping

  2. Place Vendome

    The Place Vendome is known for its jewellery and watch stores, and you’ll see Cartier, Boucheron, Van Cleef and Arpels, Piaget, Patek Philippe, and Dior, mostly on the same side as the Chanel boutique.

    Pass by without stopping

  3. Harry's New York Bar

    A sign in the window of Harry’s New York Bar spells out the American pronunciation of the address: “Sank Roo Doe Noo.” The idea was that Americans in Paris could easily learn these four syllables so that they could always get there in a taxi.

Beautiful immersive experience around Coco Chanel

Very nice performance that made us plunge back in time and the feminine condition of the time in enchanting places that amaze us. The genesis of the brand and the inspiration of Coco are very well reflected.

Coco Chanel’s footsteps in Paris

VoiceMap worked really well for us. Before hand download the App and download the tour with the code you are sent a few days before. Worked perfectly off line. The map was easier to follow than Google Maps. You can stop and start the audio which is perfect when you want to go inside one of the sites on the way. Easy to listen to in English. My daughter studied Coco Chanel for a school project. It was great to follow Ms Chanel’s footsteps in Paris.

No longer batting a thousand

Sadly, I got neither the confirming email with the link to the tour audio, or did anyone at Chanel know what I was talking about when I showed them my receipt. First negative experience I’ve ever had with using Expedia for over 15 years.

Response from the operator: Hi there, I'm sorry that you had a negative experience. We offer self-guided tours, and we are not affiliated with Chanel. This walk takes in the major sites associated with Coco Chanel's life. On our side, I can see that the code and instructions were sent to you by SMS and email. It sounds like you won't have another opportunity to do this tour, so I have processed a full refund for you. Regards, Brent

The ticket was very...

The ticket was very confusing regarding meeting at the train station. The address for the event location was no where to be found on the ticket. The exhibition was disappointing in that there were no modern displays.

Coco Chanel's Paris: A Self-Guided Audio Tour: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.

How much does Coco Chanel's Paris: A Self-Guided Audio Tour cost?

+

Prices start at $8 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Coco Chanel's Paris: A Self-Guided Audio Tour take?

+

Plan for about 0.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.

Is Coco Chanel's Paris: A Self-Guided Audio Tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Coco Chanel's Paris: A Self-Guided Audio Tour?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Coco Chanel's Paris: A Self-Guided Audio Tour suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 0.5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Coco Chanel's Paris: A Self-Guided Audio Tour?

+

Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 0.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Coco Chanel's Paris: A Self-Guided Audio Tour start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Paris?

+

Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Paris?

+

April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Paris?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
