Chic Trip is a boutique travel agency based in Paris, specializing in tailor-made European journeys, with particular expertise in France and Italy. Fred brings the route, hotels, private visits and agreed travel arrangements into one coherent trip, with personal support before and during your stay.
Start with France or Italy, combine both, or ask us to connect them with another European destination. For additional countries, we check the route, local suppliers and booking arrangements before confirming your proposal. European river and ocean cruises, with stays before and after, are a specialty too. International flights are booked directly by you with our timing guidance.
These are starting points to discuss, not fixed packages or confirmed bookings. We check connections, dates and local arrangements before recommending the final route.
A single France and Italy itinerary, balancing art, food and unhurried days. We compare the travel legs before choosing hotels and timed visits.
Explore Florence and TuscanyBring your London plans into the conversation so the Paris stay and cross-border connection fit together. Any UK bookings we handle are agreed after checking local arrangements.
Plan your Paris stayChoose a river or ocean sailing, then plan hotels, port transfers and stays around it. We use the actual ports and sailing times, and check what is already included.

Thirteen nights and fourteen calendar days in Europe, including arrival and departure. The overnight flight from the US may require an additional travel day. We compare rail and flights for the Provence-to-Italy connection on your dates; no direct service is assumed. For a slower pace, remove Provence and use three bases.
Tell us what is already booked, what you do not want to miss and your comfortable budget for the whole party. We show the trade-offs between another destination, a better hotel, a private guide and more free time before you commit.
These are planning examples, not confirmed departures or reservations. Every trip is custom: tell us what you want to change, add or leave out, and we adjust the itinerary and estimate together.

Paris and Bordeaux, planned together
“We had the most incredible experience with Chic Trip from start to finish in planning our trip to Paris and the Bordeaux region. Fred was unbelievably helpful in planning and executing our trip.”
Guides and a personal itinerary
“Fred and his tour guides were very helpful in directing a short trip to Paris for my daughter and I. I would reach out to him if another trip was on the horizon. Well done!”
An extraordinary Italy trip

Client feedback from France, Italy and multi-country journeys. Jeff’s review describes Paris; his Paris and Rome trip is still to come.
Read all client reviewsYes. Chic Trip is a Paris-based boutique travel agency for tailor-made European journeys, operated by WANDERCHIC TRAVEL. France and Italy are our particular areas of expertise. We also plan and book European cruises and assess wider multi-country routes, with the itinerary, local arrangements and booking scope confirmed in your written proposal.
Yes, tell Fred about the complete journey, including the UK, Spain, Portugal or other European destinations you are considering. We assess the connections, local suppliers and services for your dates before confirming what we can arrange. Our Paris base and Franco-Italian expertise do not mean we have an office or an in-house team in every country.
Yes. Our Paris-based team plans France and Italy stays around your dates, including existing flights or a cruise. Share your budget in CAD, AUD, NZD, USD or EUR. We agree the quotation currency, scope and booking conditions before you commit; call times can be checked in your local time zone.
Yes. You can message Fred 24/7 during your trip. Response times depend on the request; this is not an emergency service or an accompanying guide. Your coffee and neighborhood welcome with a Chic Trip host or local partner is included. We agree the practical arrangements before departure. Supplier availability, additional charges and cancellation conditions still apply.
Tell us which parts of the trip need flexibility. We compare available options and show the cancellation deadline, any non-refundable amount and any price difference before you approve each booking. There is no single 48-hour or 72-hour refund rule for an entire trip. Our planning-fee terms are shown separately in your proposal; a future-travel credit is not a cash refund.
Chic Trip designs the route, finds and books the hotels, coordinates trains and transfers, reserves restaurants and timed entries, and gives you one interactive itinerary plus support while you travel. You have one person responsible for the whole trip.
Every journey receives a tailored total for your dates, accommodation, visits and level of support. As an indicative Paris example, allow around $5,000 USD per person for 7 nights, two travelers sharing one double room: around $10,000 total, planning and booking support included. International flights and meals are excluded. Other regions and itineraries receive their own proposal, not the Paris example price.
Trips we plan start from around US$600 per person, per day, excluding international flights and meals. A 10 to 14-day France and Italy trip for two often lands between $15,000 and $25,000 depending on hotels, private experiences and season.
Yes. France and Italy are our core combination. We coordinate the route across Paris, French regions, Rome, Florence, Venice, Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast. We book eligible trains and transfers; for international flights, we advise on timing and route while you book directly.
Neither. Chic Trip is a boutique travel agency: a real planner designs your journey and arranges the bookings you approve. You choose the balance of private guides, drivers and free time. The app holds your itinerary; it does not replace your personal contact.

Choose the version that fits you
The hardest part is often deciding what not to add. Begin with your arrival and departure possibilities, the places you most want to experience and how frequently you are comfortable changing hotels. We compare complete days, not just train or flight times.
For a first two-country journey with fewer moving parts.
Make Paris a proper stay, then choose the Italian contrast you most want: Rome for a city-focused chapter, Florence for art with a possible Tuscany outing, or Venice for a different pace. Compare two Italian bases with one longer stay instead of assuming Rome, Florence and Venice must all be included.
The trade-off: You leave some famous places for another trip, but gain full days and evenings in the places you choose. Fewer hotel changes can matter more than ticking off another city.
For returning travelers or those whose main interests lie beyond Paris.
Choose the French chapter around your interests, such as Provence, Bordeaux or Normandy, then assess the connection to your Italian base. Compare a second region with additional nights where you are already staying. A route that looks tidy on a map may still require a tiring transfer day.
The trade-off: Regional connections may make arrival and departure choices more important. We compare practical options for the dates before suggesting you buy flights or commit to hotel nights.
These are planning alternatives, not additional inclusions or confirmed bookings. We check the route, access and availability for your dates before quoting any changes.
