Alain-Yves Brégent, from the Friends of Guimet, is preparing even more getaways for you in the coming months!

2025, the big year for getaways

Conceived and guided by Alain-Yves Brégent, these excursions are prepared in consultation with curators and specialists for each project (museum, hotel, foundation), making them a true mark of quality and deserving of special mention.

The excursions were designed as moments of cultural respite, far removed from any notion of mere accumulation. Whether in Nantes, Nancy, Loches, Geneva, Lorient, Orléans, Rochefort, or Rennes, they offered the opportunity to explore museums and cities in depth. Each visit encouraged attentiveness to the artworks, their context, and the stories they tell. From familiar places to entirely new discoveries, these excursions provided a genuine cultural immersion.
