The hotel and room shown belong to that proposed style; further changes beyond it are quoted separately. A private guide does not mean private access to a venue.
These hotel and experience styles are starting points, not confirmed offers or guaranteed availability. Dates, season, room choice and experiences affect the final total. International flights and meals excluded unless specified.
What we confirm before you book
These are proposed configurations, not confirmed bookings. Your written proposal names the hotels, room categories, guides, admissions and transport, with the complete price and cancellation conditions for your dates. A private guide does not mean private access to a venue. Requests depend on availability; no special entrance, room feature or restaurant table is guaranteed.
Hotel categories describe the selection we would propose, not a confirmed property. Room size, bed setup, views, air conditioning, lifts, step-free access, breakfast, taxes and facilities are checked for the actual hotel and room.
Optional enhancements are outside the configuration shown until selected and priced in your proposal. International flights, ordinary restaurant meals, drinks and table deposits are separate unless expressly itemized. A tasting or class includes only the food and drinks listed in the proposal.
Something particular in mind?
Mix these ideas or start from scratch. Tell us what matters to you and we’ll prepare a personal quote.
Settle into Bordeaux for four nights, with no hotel changes. Arrival and a neighborhood welcome lead into a focused culture day, one Saint-Émilion outing, a full free day and an unhurried departure.
Saint-Émilion without obligatory tastings
Choose a heritage-focused visit or one winery appointment in place of part of the village route. A low-alcohol or alcohol-free day is possible. The Cité du Vin can replace part of the Bordeaux culture day if you want it; day four stays free.
All three hotel and experience styles require a tailored quote. Your dates, room, visits and transport determine the written proposal; no fixed package price or deposit is set by this example. The PDF keeps the same programme for your conversation with Fred.
The coast and other vineyards are separate choices
Arcachon, a river cruise or another vineyard region is not included in this five-day example. Discuss a replacement or extra nights with Fred, with the route, transport and tailored quote revised together.
Saint-Émilion has slopes, paving and steps. We review your walking comfort and the actual visit route before arranging transport. A train journey needs a planned final connection to the village; a private return transfer can be quoted. No daily driver, winery appointment or special-access ticket is assumed.

Saint-Émilion
Day 1: Arrive and find your Bordeaux neighborhood
Bordeaux
Settle into one Bordeaux hotel for four nights. Your included welcome coffee is a chance to review the days ahead, with its timing arranged around your arrival. Keep the first neighborhood introduction short and dinner nearby; any station or airport transfer is specified in your proposal.
Welcome coffee included in your Chic Trip service
Arrival, neighborhood and nearby dinner planning
Time for yourself: Leave the rest of the day open to rest after travel and settle into your hotel.
Day 2: Bordeaux culture, at your pace
Bordeaux
Choose a focused culture and neighborhood route around Saint-Pierre, the quays or Chartrons, with lunch and breaks built in. One museum can be selected instead of part of the walk. If you choose the Cité du Vin, it replaces part of this day rather than adding another outing; admission needs confirmation and a non-alcoholic Belvedere drink is available.
Proposed Bordeaux culture and neighborhood visit, with guide format to be agreed
Restaurant choices and any selected museum admission specified in the quote
Time for yourself: Keep the later afternoon free for the hotel, a cafe or independent browsing close to your base.
Day 3: Saint-Émilion, heritage before a checklist
Bordeaux
Plan one Saint-Émilion outing and return to the same Bordeaux hotel. Choose a heritage-focused village visit, with any guided underground admission confirmed separately, or replace part of it with one winery appointment. Tastings are optional, and the day can be low-alcohol or alcohol-free. Review slopes, paving and steps before choosing the route. Transport must suit the visit: a private return transfer or train plus the final connection is quoted, not an assumed station pickup.
One proposed Saint-Émilion outing with the heritage or winery format agreed
Return transport planning, lunch choices and any selected tickets or appointment specified in your proposal
Time for yourself: Return to Bordeaux with time to rest before dinner, without adding a second vineyard region.
Day 4: A full free day in Bordeaux
Bordeaux
Keep the whole day free to enjoy your Bordeaux base, revisit a favorite neighborhood or simply rest. Local cafe and restaurant suggestions remain available, but no museum, winery, cruise or day trip is scheduled. Arcachon and other vineyard areas are not hidden additions to this day.
A full free day with local suggestions if wanted
Restaurant selection and reservation requests after your approval
Time for yourself: The entire day is yours, with time for a leisurely lunch, your hotel and an unhurried final evening.
Day 5: Leave Bordeaux without a final rush
Bordeaux
Plan your departure around the confirmed railway station or airport and the selected hotel. Any transfer, luggage arrangements and time buffer are specified before booking. An onward destination or extra night changes the programme and receives its own quote.
Departure connection planning with any transfer separately specified
Onward-travel advice around your confirmed arrangements
Time for yourself: Enjoy breakfast if the departure schedule allows; no final attraction is scheduled.
