Sacred Paris is a one-of-a-kind agency, offering spiritual tourism experiences to seekers from all over the world.
In the heart of Paris, amid cobblestone streets and timeless cathedrals, Patricia Russo is quietly reshaping how travelers experience the City of Light. As the founder of Sacred Paris, the city’s first and only sacred travel agency, Russo curates transformative journeys that weave together spirituality, art, and beauty, offering seekers a way to explore the soul of Paris as much as its sights.
Patricia’s story is one of passion, purpose, and the quest for deeper meaning. As the first and only sacred travel agency in Paris, Sacred Paris stands as a beacon for those seeking more than the usual tourist experience. It’s about the art of holy wandering, a journey that combines slow travel with spiritual tourism, offering visitors a space to reconnect with themselves and the world around them.
A Journey Rooted in Spirituality and Discovery
The idea for Sacred Paris didn’t emerge overnight. It was born out of Patricia’s own personal journey as a seeker. Having lived in Paris and connected deeply with its spiritual landscape, she realized that the city’s beauty wasn’t just in its art, architecture, and history, but in the energy that flows through its streets, its gardens, its hidden corners.
“In Paris, every street tells a story, every stone has a memory, and every moment is an opportunity to connect with something greater than ourselves,” Patricia explains. This deep reverence for Paris as a spiritual destination led her to create a business that allows others to experience this sacred side of the city.
Patricia’s approach is a blend of spirituality and travel, a combination that sets Sacred Paris apart from other agencies. While traditional tourism may focus on sightseeing and leisure, Sacred Paris invites guests to embark on a journey that touches the heart and spirit. This is not just about seeing Paris; it’s about experiencing it on a soul-deep level.
The Birth of Sacred Paris
Founded with a single idea, that travel can be both a creative and spiritual practice, Sacred Paris brings together guided pilgrimages, artist residencies, retreats, and curated rituals throughout the city. The agency offers travelers a chance to visit iconic landmarks like Sainte-Chapelle and La Madeleine, as well as little-known sanctuaries and gardens that reveal a quieter, more contemplative Paris.
What sets Russo apart is her ability to bridge worlds: an American entrepreneur grounded in French culture, she merges Parisian sophistication with soulful depth. Her intimate knowledge of both cultures allows her to design experiences that feel authentic, poetic, and profoundly human.
The Art of Holy Wandering
One of the guiding philosophies of Sacred Paris is what Russo calls “The Art of Holy Wandering.” It is both a practice and a mindset, one that invites travelers to move through Paris slowly and with presence.
“This is more than a tour,” Russo explains. “It’s an invitation to let beauty teach us. To allow art, architecture, and sacred spaces to awaken something within.”
This approach aligns with the global rise of slow travel, an emerging movement that values depth over speed, meaning over itinerary. By pausing long enough to feel the rhythm of a place, guests of Sacred Paris find that travel itself becomes a form of devotion.
A New Era of Spiritual Tourism
With spiritual tourism valued at over $50 billion globally and growing, Sacred Paris stands at the forefront of a movement that seeks transformation through travel. Each curated experience, from silent vigils at Sacré-Cœur to pilgrimages through the city’s hidden chapels, offers travelers a chance to reconnect with themselves and the sacred pulse of Paris.
“People are craving meaning,” Russo reflects. “They’re not looking for more to do, they’re looking for ways to feel more alive.”
Through Sacred Paris, Russo offers exactly that: the possibility of rediscovering wonder, reverence, and the art of being present, one sacred step at a time.
A Personal Invitation from Patricia Russo
Patricia Russo is more than a founder; she is a guide and a steward of spiritual journeys. Her deep love for Paris is evident in every experience she curates, and her devotion to the sacred threads that run through art, architecture, and human connection gives Sacred Paris its soul.
“I’m here to guide guests on a journey that isn’t only about the sights they see, but the transformation they undergo,” says Russo. “Sacred Paris is about honoring the soul of travel, discovering what it truly means to be alive and awake to beauty.”
Through this invitation, Russo continues to share The Art of Holy Wandering with the world, one spiritual traveler at a time.
