A Paris-based personal planner for Canadian travellers. A week in Paris, two cities you have always wanted to see, or a stay around your cruise: we turn the moving parts into a trip you can enjoy.
Bonjour, I’m Fred. Tell me where in Canada you are planning from, what is already booked and what you would love to experience. We will agree a realistic route and the help you need before starting the detailed work.

7 nights · an illustrative starting point
One hotel base, time for art and neighbourhood walks, restaurants chosen around your tastes and a day outside the city if you want it. Leave the arrival day light rather than starting with a full schedule of timed tickets.
10 nights · an illustrative starting point
Five nights in Paris and five in Rome, with a proper travel day between them. We discuss whether arriving in one city and flying home from the other suits your flights, rather than assuming you must return to your first airport.
Before or after your sailing
Keep your existing cabin and add a personal stay in France or Italy. We start with the actual port, dates and included transfers, then plan hotels and visits that complement your sailing instead of repeating its excursions.
Illustrative ideas, not fixed packages or confirmed inclusions.
Start with your Canadian departure airport and the local arrival date in Europe. Connections, overnight flights and the return journey affect the time you actually have. We build the land itinerary around your confirmed flights, with room to arrive, leave your bags and settle in. Early hotel access must be confirmed separately.
You do not need to see both countries to make the journey worthwhile. A Paris stay can have more depth than a rushed circuit. If you want France and Italy together, we compare the hotel changes and transfer time with the experiences you care about: art, food, architecture, gardens or simply time together.
Share an approximate budget in Canadian dollars for your whole party, and tell us which bookings you have already paid for. We preserve the amount and currency you give us; CAD is not treated as USD. The written proposal confirms its quotation and payment currency, planning fees, travel costs, inclusions and booking conditions before you commit.
We work by email and scheduled calls, so planning does not depend on being in the same time zone. Choose your own time zone in our calendar and check the date and time before confirming. Fred is based in Paris, not at a Canadian office. Support for the arrangements we organise is agreed with you before travel.
Share your destination ideas, party size, budget currency and any flights, hotels or cruise already booked. A free first conversation helps us understand what you need.
Essentials provides a personalised day-by-day itinerary and practical links, with reservations made by you. Concierge adds coordination of eligible bookings and agreed support. We explain the scope and paid planning fees before detailed work starts.
For Concierge, you approve the prices and conditions before we arrange the eligible reservations agreed in your proposal. Your itinerary and practical details stay together in the Chic Trip app. International flights are booked directly by you, with our route and timing guidance.
Yes. We welcome enquiries from Canada for independent, personalised stays in Paris, elsewhere in France and Italy. Paris is our home base. For other regions, we confirm the itinerary, partners and availability before accepting the arrangements. We are not a Canadian travel agency or a local Canadian office.
Yes. Select CAD in the enquiry form and enter the approximate amount for your whole group. This is a planning budget, not a quote or payment. We retain it in Canadian dollars and confirm the quotation and payment currency separately before you approve any paid service or booking.
Our calendar lets you choose your local time zone. Check the displayed date and time before confirming, especially around seasonal clock changes. If no available time suits, send your enquiry with your city and preferred contact method so we can discuss an alternative.
Yes. Share the confirmed dates, airports or ports and anything included in those bookings. We can plan the France or Italy stay around them. For a new cruise booking, we separately check the operator’s residence and market eligibility, booking access, currency and conditions before quoting.
No. Flexible options can be requested where available, but hotel, train, guide, ticket and cruise conditions differ. Your proposal makes the relevant payment and cancellation terms clear before you commit. We do not promise a universal refund window or that travel insurance will cover every cancellation.
Check current official Canadian travel advice and the destination authorities for every country on your route. Entry requirements depend on your passport, residence and individual circumstances, not just your departure airport. We do not guarantee entry or make immigration decisions.
