FRANCE TRAVEL PLANNING
With Traci Parent
What's Included in my Custom Travel Planning Services
Destination Discovery
Not sure where to go? We’ll work together to choose the perfect destination based on your interests, season, travel goals, and dreams.
Logistics
Use your favorite airline (and hopefully miles!) but I handle the trains, transfers and all the logistics to get around easily.
Cultural & Culinary Experiences
I source authentic, enriching experiences—think private market tours, artisan visits, wine tastings, and cooking classes.
Accomodation Curation & Booking
I hand-select and reserve the best hotels, B&Bs, or boutique stays—balancing charm, comfort, and location.
Personalized Itinerary Planning
Your day-to-day itinerary is tailored just for you—whether you want to explore at your own pace or pack in the highlights.
Comprehensive Support
From the first spark of inspiration to your return, I’m with you every step of the way. Need help mid-trip? I’m just a message away.
