The Ultimate France Trip

 

 
 

I’ve been taking trips to France for more than 20 years, exploring every region of the country to the point where I can plan an amazing adventure in my sleep. But what if you’ve only got a few weeks—or days—to undertake a fabulous France foray?

I build fully custom France itineraries designed around the way you want to travel, leveraging my decades of experience to create a clear, practical plan:

  • Personalized daily recommendations for activities, meals and accommodation, so that you don’t waste time at tourist traps, or in big-box hotels.
  • Detailed transportation advice throughout, so that you can ride France’s rails with confidence, even if it’s your first time.
  • Expert curation and sequencing of destinations to minimize backtracking and to maximize experiences that speak to you.
Email me now and I’ll reply right away with my availability and next steps.

Let’s say you want to frolic amid la lavande on a summer trip to Valensole in Provence. Or maybe you prefer to hike up the imposing Dune du Pilat or ski award-winning slopes in the snowy French Alps? Sip prime pours in Bordeaux or Burgundy? Come face-to-face with history on the beaches of Normandy?

No matter where in France you want to explore, I’ll curate a France trip plan with experiences you’ll be talking about for years to come. Not to mention, personalized recommendations for accommodations and meals, plus detailed transportation advice throughout.

I can also optimize your free time on France business and incentive trips. I empowered a recent client to discover the French Basque Country after a conference in Bordeaux, and helped another reward her team with an unforgettable weekend in the Calanques National Park near Marseille.

Whether you travel for business, pleasure or both, commission a custom France travel itinerary today. I’ll provide with you with information, inspiration and empowerment, no matter what shape your trip ends up taking.

 
One-on-One Consultation

Whether we do it via Zoom or entirely over email, our introductory chat will help me perfectly understand the trip you want to take. I’ll have lots of questions, so don’t worry too much about “preparing”!

 
Comprehensive Itinerary

Your custom France itinerary includes personalized suggestions* for daily accommodation, transport, activities, dining and everything else you’ll need. Sample France itinerary available upon request.

 
Ongoing Support

It’ll only take me 1-2 weeks to put your France itinerary together, but I’m available to assist you right up until departure with questions and even minor** last-minute changes to your France trip itinerary.

 

Due to the amount of time, energy and expertise I devote to crafting your custom France itinerary, the service is subject to a fee as per below:

1-2 weeks

All prices are in U.S. dollars. France sample itinerary available upon request. Payment is made via PayPal or Zelle at least 24 hours in advance of Zoom or email chat to secure itinerary.
*I am not a travel agent and I don’t book hotels or make dinner reservations. I will provide you with all the information you need for your trip, but I don’t want to lock you in!
**Examples of “minor” changes include suggesting a different restaurant one night, or selecting a new hotel for one city on account of altered circumstances
 
 

France Itinerary Review

Have you already planned out a France itinerary, and simply need me to look over what you’ve done, or provide suggestions on how to make it even better? I also offer a France itinerary review service! It’s priced at half the cost of my full France itinerary planning service, based on the intended length of your trip. So my cost to review a 1-2 week France trip, in 2026, would be $400. Even better, if you later end up hiring me to plan your trip fully, I roll the review cost into the cost of the full itinerary.

 
 

France Transportation Consultation

The journey is just as important as the destination, particularly when that destination is as spectacular as France. If you’ve created the ultimate itinerary but need help with the logistical piece of it, don’t worry. From TGV trains, to long-distance buses, to rental cars and even transportation within cities, I’ll get you from point A to point B, and then some. My transportation consultation service is priced at $275 per week of travel.

NOTE: My custom France itineraries include detailed transportation advice for the duration of your trip. The Transportation Consultation service is designed for travelers who only need assistance with transportation and logistics.

 
 
 
A custom France tour itinerary is the surest way to make your trip one for the record books, but don’t take my word for it. Here’s what my satisfied customers are saying!
 

“Thanks for helping us make sense of the south of France. Without Robert, we would’ve just wasted a week never leaving Nice.”

-James & Jenni, USA

“We did our best to plan for the peak lavender bloom, but mother nature had other ideas. Thankfully, Robert helped up pivot at the last time!”

-Scott & Trent, Canada

“Although I’ve lived across the Channel from France my whole life, I never managed to explore much outside of Paris. Robert sorted a road trip around Normandy and Brittany for me.”

-Martha, UK

“Robert not only planned an amazing France trip for us, but took care of the week in Switzerland we had at the end of it as well. A true Europe expert.”

-Mike & Stacy, USA

“I was flying literally from the other side of the world to take my trip to France, and didn’t want to take any chances. Robert planned a trip that I was happy to brag about!”

-Mel, Australia
