Meet Fred

"I started Chic Trip with one simple belief: You shouldn't have to be a millionaire to experience the real Paris."

Too many travelers get stuck in overpriced "tourist trap" restaurants near the Eiffel Tower, eating frozen food and missing the magic. As a born-and-raised Parisian with Italian roots, I want better for you.

My job is to be your local insider. I help you navigate the city like a savvy local, finding that perfect boutique hotel that costs half the price of the big chains, and the authentic bistro where actual Parisians eat.

I handle the logistics, the bookings, and the stress. You just enjoy the best of Europe, knowing you're getting the best value for every euro spent.
