Who we are

A couple who happens to know Europe very well.

We’re trip designers, not a travel agency. We don’t sell packages or take commissions. We design your trip around you, then you book it yourself, so you stay in control of every reservation.

Lola
Trip designer

Lola taught school for eight years, then left the classroom for a 15-month trip around the world that changed her life. She came back a trip designer and has spent the last three years planning custom trips, every itinerary built by hand.

Yann
Your contact

Yann is the person you talk to, from the first call to the last day of your trip. He speaks fluent English and answers on WhatsApp when plans change.

How it works

Three steps,
and the hard part is ours.

01

Call

A free call to talk about your dates, pace and dreams.

02

Design & book

Lola builds your itinerary, then you book everything in a few clicks, using your own cards and points.

03

Your Trip Book

We send your Trip Book and your companion Google Maps map, so the whole trip is in your pocket.

Its companion is a custom Google Maps map with every place pinned and one layer per day, saved in your own Maps app.

You book with your own cards, so your Chase and Amex benefits stay yours.

Everything in one Trip Book

Days, places, bookings and practical info, on your phone and on paper.

A human on WhatsApp

A real person helps with changes, a rail strike or a last-minute dinner.

Kind words

From travelers who went before you.

My son and I trusted Lola with our trip to Crete, and we recommend her 100%. The route with the must-sees was perfect, right down to stops an agency would never suggest. And she stayed available while we were there.
Mireille P.Crete · May 2026
A wonderful trip to Croatia thanks to Lola. We visited four different places and enjoyed every moment in a country we didn’t know. Available, attentive and kind, Lola was the perfect travel planner.
Angéline C.Croatia · August 2025
Lola created a mystery trip for us. We only learned where we were going three hours before takeoff: Istanbul, then Oman. Once again she hit the bullseye and delighted all four of us.
Corinne B.Istanbul & Oman · January 2026
From the very first call we had a great feeling. In the end our trip was perfect from A to Z, down to the smallest detail. Everything was planned ahead so we could fully enjoy it with our two kids.

FAQ

Good questions.

Why do I book myself?

So you keep full control, your card points, perks and protections, and we never mark up a hotel.

What if there are strikes or protests?

We plan around them, and Premium clients get live rerouting on WhatsApp.

What about the time difference?

We reply within a set daily window, and Premium gets priority.

Only France?

France is our home turf, and we also design trips in Italy, Spain, Portugal and beyond on request.

How far ahead should I book?

3–6 months is ideal.

Let’s plan something lovely.
