Frequently Asked Questions
Have you got questions? I've tried to answer most of the common questions below. If you have a more specific question, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Unlike travel agents, I don’t earn commissions or sell packages. I’m fully independent, which means every recommendation I give is tailored to your style, pace, and preferences. My role is to curate—not to sell.
Even in the age of online booking, travel planners are a great source of information to explore your options and design your itinerary. As a travel planner, I will make sure that your trip is tailored to you.
Every itinerary is completely unique. I take into account your interests—food, culture, history, relaxation, or adventure—and build a journey that reflects your personality, with a few surprises you won’t find in guidebooks.
No. I provide a personalised travel guide with curated recommendations and insider tips. You can then make the bookings in your own time, giving you full control and flexibility.
I design bespoke journeys for solo travellers, couples, families, or small groups who want authentic, high-quality experiences in France and beyond. Many of my clients are time-poor professionals who want a thoughtfully designed trip without hours of research.
Not at all. While I know Paris intimately, I also curate experiences across all of France—Provence, Alsace, Burgundy, the Loire Valley, the Alps, and more. I can also extend your itinerary across Europe to destinations like Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Portugal, and Greece.
Once your Brief is confirmed, I usually deliver your customised guide within 2–3 weeks, depending on the complexity of your trip and how much detail you’d like included.
Yes. My focus is on quality and authenticity, not just luxury. Whether it’s a Michelin-starred restaurant, a hidden bistro, a boutique hotel, or a charming family-run guesthouse, I’ll curate options that suit your preferences and budget.
Yes. I can refine or build around what you’ve already organised—whether it’s accommodation, flights, or a few must-see stops. I’ll make sure everything connects smoothly and add recommendations that bring your itinerary to life.
My service is about creating a detailed plan before you go. I don’t provide on-call travel assistance during your trip, but your personalised guide includes maps, links, and contacts so you feel confident navigating on your own.
That’s perfectly fine. Part of my role is to help uncover what will make your trip memorable. In our Travel Plan Brief, I’ll ask the right questions and shape the itinerary around your style and pace—even if you’re starting with just a rough idea.
Simply get in touch via the contact page or call me directly. We’ll have an initial chat to understand your goals, travel dates, and preferences. From there, I’ll design a personalised plan just for you.
