Who is Chic Trip?
Chic Trip (also known as Chic Trip Paris) is a Paris-based trip planning and booking concierge for American travelers, run by the French company WT Wanderchic Travel SASU from its office on the Champs-Elysees. A small local team, led by founder Frederic Canesso, designs your day-by-day Paris itinerary around what you love, then books everything before you land: restaurants at their release windows, timed museum entries, private guides and airport transfers. 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.
What Chic Trip actually does
Most travel sites sell you pieces: a tour here, a ticket there. Chic Trip does the whole trip. You answer a short questionnaire about pace, food and interests, then the team builds a day-by-day plan clustered by neighborhood so you are not crossing the city twice a day. Once you approve it, they book all of it: the tables worth flying for (at their exact release windows), skip-the-line museum entries, vetted private guides, and 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.
Who is behind it
The founder is Frederic Canesso (Fred), a Franco-Italian who lives in Paris. He signs the itineraries himself and takes the planning calls. 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. Full verification details are on Is Chic Trip legit?
What it costs
The planning fee starts at $623 and varies with trip length and party size. For two travelers, it is $1,328 for seven days and $1,826 for ten days. Hotels are at public rates, restaurant reservations and official tickets are at face price, and tours, transfers and experiences use package prices quoted upfront. International flights stay booked directly by the traveler.
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.
