travel Resources
Planning a trip to France involves a lot of moving pieces, and over the years I have built a toolkit of platforms, tools, and resources that I personally use and trust to make the process easier. This page is where I share all of it in one place, from booking hotels and getting around to staying safe and packing smart. Everything here is something I have used myself and recommend with confidence. Consider this your one-stop resource for planning the perfect France trip.
Accommodation
Finding the right place to stay can make or break a trip to France – these are the platforms I use and recommend for booking hotels across every region.
Tours & Experiences
France is full of extraordinary experiences and these are the platforms I trust for booking them.
Transportation
France has one of the best transport networks in Europe – here is how to navigate it.
transportation
Omio – The easiest way to book trains across France – essential for navigating France by rail!
DayTrip – For private door-to-door transfers between cities, perfect for multi-destination itineraries where a train is not the most practical option.
Welcome Pickups – For private airport transfers across France. Reliable, professional, and significantly less stressful than navigating public transport with luggage after a long flight.
Car Rental
A rental car unlocks the best parts of France – the Corniche roads in the French Riviera, the perched villages, the vineyard routes. Here’s how I book mine.
car rentals
Discover Cars – The platform I use for renting a car in France. It compares rates across all major rental companies so you always get the best price.
Travel Security
Things and products that I do not travel without it. Sometimes these things can feel like an unnecessary expense until you need it – and then you will be very glad you have it.
security
Pacsafe – The brand I trust for anti-theft travel bags, luggage locks, and security accessories. Particularly useful in busy Paris markets and on public transport. Use code “inFrance” for 10% off your first order and Watch this video to learn more.
SafetyWing – The travel insurance I recommend for trips to France for its flexibility and affordability.
