The city, the countryside, the coast. We plan your route and book the arrangements you approve, with Fred bringing your whole France trip together.
We help choose hotels that fit your style and budget, connect your bases and design each day around your interests and pace. After you approve the proposal, we book the agreed hotels, visits and ground transport. Already booked something? We build around it.
Suggestions around your tastes, budget, dietary needs and that day’s activities. You choose your favorites; we arrange approved reservations, subject to availability. Meals are paid separately unless expressly included.
We discuss airport meet & greet, hotel transfers and travel between your bases. Your proposal specifies what is included and the price. Drivers and local guides are not automatically included every day.
Our network of local hosts covers cities throughout France and Italy. A Chic Trip host or local partner welcomes you, shares a coffee and helps you get your bearings in the neighborhood. This coffee and neighborhood welcome is included. We agree the meeting place, timing and arrangements in your personal proposal. Airport transfers and private guided tours are separate arrangements.
Your hotels, daily itinerary, restaurant choices and booking details stay together in the Chic Trip app. Fred remains your personal contact; the app does not replace the person helping you.
Fred is your personal contact before departure and is available 24/7 by message during your trip for any question or request. We help coordinate changes and explain any additional costs before you approve them. This is personal support, not an accompanying guide or an emergency response service.
This is a paid planning service. Your first conversation is free; we confirm the scope and price before starting detailed work.
