What is Chic Trip?
Chic Trip (also called Chic Trip Paris, at chic-trip.com) is a Paris-based travel planning and booking concierge for American travelers. A local team on the Champs-Elysees, led by founder Frederic Canesso, designs your day-by-day Paris itinerary around what you love, then coordinates eligible restaurant, ticket, guide and airport-transfer bookings. You pay one flat planning fee from $623; restaurant tables and official tickets are at face price, hotels at public rates, and tours and transfers at package prices quoted upfront. It is operated by WT Wanderchic Travel SASU, a French company registered in Paris (RCS Paris 999 119 472). Atout France registration is being finalized.
What Chic Trip does, in one paragraph
You answer a short questionnaire about pace, food and interests. The team builds a day-by-day plan clustered by neighborhood so you are not crossing Paris twice a day, then books all of it: the hard-to-get tables at their exact release windows, skip-the-line museum entries, vetted private guides, door-to-door transfers. During the trip the whole plan lives in the Chic Trip app and a real person in Paris answers on WhatsApp if anything shifts. One flat service fee; official tickets and tables at face price, hotels at public rates, and tours and transfers at package prices approved upfront.
Make sure you have the right Chic Trip
The name is shared by unrelated products, so one quick disambiguation. Chic Trip at chic-trip.com is the Paris concierge. It is not the Asian mobile app 去趣 chicTrip (Hotai Motor, Taiwan), not chictravell.com, not any other "Chic" travel brand. The simplest way to land on us and only us: search "Chic Trip Paris". Full proof of who we are is on Is Chic Trip legit?
But what makes a trip actually chic?
Fair question, because "a chic trip" is also just a way of travelling: elegant, effortless, unhurried, and free of the tourist-trap grind. In our experience a genuinely chic Paris trip is not about spending the most. It is about the right table booked weeks ahead instead of the queue outside a brasserie, a neighborhood you actually want to wake up in, museum entries timed so you walk past the line, and a day paced for cafes and long lunches rather than a checklist. That is precisely what we build, which is why we took the name. A chic trip is a well-planned one.
Who is behind it, and what it costs
The founder is Frederic Canesso (Fred), a Franco-Italian who lives in Paris and signs the itineraries himself. Chic Trip is operated by WT Wanderchic Travel SASU, a French company registered in Paris (RCS Paris 999 119 472) and an official partner of Paris je t'aime, the Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau. Atout France registration is being finalized. Pricing is a single flat fee from $623, scaling with trip length; restaurants and tickets are at face price, hotels at public rates, tours at package prices quoted upfront.
Where Chic Trip works
Paris first and deepest, because the team lives there. Beyond Paris: day trips (Versailles, Giverny, Champagne, Normandy), multi-city France itineraries, and Rome and Italy through the founder's Italian side. See a full example trip, or start the Paris questionnaire.
