Your journey.
Designed around you.
Bespoke travel design in France & Italy
Discover France and Italy through a journey created entirely around you, your interests, your pace, your time and the experiences you want to remember.
Travel should feel exciting.
Planning it shouldn't feel overwhelming.
There are hundreds of places to stay, countless things to see and endless recommendations online.
But which ones are right for you?
I take the time to understand how you like to travel and transform your ideas into a coherent, personalised journey.
Whether you're travelling as a couple, with friends or with your family, every itinerary is designed around the people taking the trip — not around a standard checklist of places to visit.
More than an itinerary
Your journey can include:
Places worth your time
A carefully considered route based on your interests and the time you have available.
Restaurants & local flavours
Ideas and addresses that allow you to experience the destination through its food and traditions.
Handpicked stays
Accommodation suggestions selected according to your style, needs and expectations.
A journey that flows
Realistic travel times, sensible stops and a pace that lets you enjoy where you are instead of simply moving from one place to another.
Meaningful experiences
Local discoveries, cultural experiences and activities chosen specifically for you.
The details that make travelling easier
Practical information and personalised recommendations gathered in one place.
France & Italy
France & Italy from a different perspective
I am Italian and live in France.
This gives me the privilege of experiencing these two countries not simply as destinations.
I combine local research with first-hand knowledge and carefully selected recommendations to create journeys that go beyond the obvious — while never overlooking the places that are truly worth experiencing.
Because travelling well isn't about seeing more.
It's about experiencing better.
Meet Chiara
I'm Chiara, an Italian travel designer based in France.
Before creating Francia Andata e Ritorno, I spent more than ten years working as a project manager for international companies.
Today I bring that same attention to detail, organisation and problem-solving to something I've always loved: travel.
After years of travelling independently, with friends, as a family and as a travel coordinator, I've learned that the best journey isn't necessarily the one with the longest list of places.
It's the one that feels right for the people experiencing it.
How it works
01 — We talk
We start with a complimentary discovery call.
You tell me where you're thinking of going, who's travelling, what you love, what you don't, your timing, your expectations and what would make this trip special for you.
02 — I design
I research and build your journey from the ground up: route, stays, experiences, practical details and personalised recommendations.
You receive a complete travel plan designed around your needs.
03 — You travel
Everything is organised clearly so you can stop researching and start enjoying the journey you've been looking forward to.
For travellers who value their time
For people who want something personal rather than pre-packaged.
For those who love discovering beautiful places but don't want to spend evenings comparing hundreds of options.
