Interesting - We got inspired by the story and all the different characters and models that he created. His timeline and the understandings of the female expression is unique.

Amazing! - Absolutely LOVED this tour. It was a dream come true to be in the atelier of YSL & see his creations up close. It is also before the museum opens so felt extra special. Please note it is completely in French - but signs and the short film have English subtitles. I’ll Never forget it!

A must-see visit for fans of the legendary Yves Saint Laurent. - Took a small group private tour an hour before being open to the public. Excellent tour. As a long time fan of YSL the tour took me back to the 1980’s with great nostalgia especially when viewing the exhibits on show. Enjoyed looking at the original sketches YSL did and how he used colour and textiles. Being in the studio was amazing. A real pleasure. Great books in the gift shop too. The tour guide was lovely.
