PARIS & FRANCE TRAVEL DESIGN

FOR INDIVIDUALS & FAMILIES

Custom Creative Travel Design

As a Paris local with eight years of living both part- and full-time in the city, I bring an insider’s perspective, creative vision, and a deep passion for curating unforgettable travel experiences across Paris and France. I work closely with travelers—whether families, couples, or small groups—to craft personalized itineraries that reflect your unique tastes, interests, and pace. My approach goes beyond simply recommending places to visit: I thoughtfully weave in hands-on, design-led experiences that bring each destination to life. From a kid-friendly cooking class to a private pottery class in Provence, every itinerary is built around meaningful moments that inspire connection, creativity, and a strong sense of place.

  • “Maddy’s custom itinerary design made our 10-year wedding anniversary trip to Paris truly unforgettable. We loved every spot and detail she suggested, from the candlelit performance at the Eiffel Tower and incredible meals, to the perfect little shops to pop into and helpful suggestions on getting around the city with ease. If you’re looking for elevated, seamless experiences without the hassle of endless research and planning, I can’t recommend her enough!”

WHY TRUST ME TO DESIGN YOUR TRIP TO PARIS/FRANCE?

When I was 19 I moved to Paris to attend university, where I met my now-husband who is a Parisian native. After living in Paris full-time for several years, we relocated back to the states, yet continued to split time between Austin and Paris. We recently moved our family back to Paris full-time and I am once again based in the city. Long story short, I have a deep connection and understanding to Paris and France. I also have developed a trusted network of friends and collaborators who I rely on to help deliver one-of-a-kind experiences for my clients.

CAN I WORK WITH YOU IN DESTINATIONS OUTSIDE OF PARIS/FRANCE? DO YOU ONLY DESIGN FAMILY-FOCUSED TRIPS?

While I specialize in creative family travel in Paris and across France, as I am based here and have local destination expertise, I am happy to help curate travel and experiences throughout Europe. I also work with other groups outside of solely families, including couples, friends, etc. Please reach out to tell me more about your vision!

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR APPROACH TO TRAVEL/EXPERIENCE DESIGN?

I take a creative, design-led approach to each experience I curate, with an appreciation for quality, independent businesses and local culture. In addition to selecting unique places to visit, for my custom itinerary clients, I also focus on hands-on experiences and local events that spark inspiration and connection, from a private pottery work in Provence, to a guided flea market visit in Paris.

I’M INTERESTED IN UPGRADED VIP PERKS & AMENITIES. DO YOU OFFER ONLY HOTEL BOOKINGS?

Yes! If you already have a stay picked out and are interested in adding upgraded perks and amenities, please reach out and I can assist you with your booking at zero cost to you. Also, if you’ve already booked, it may still be possible to receive additional perks and amenities. Simply send your confirmation details and we will see what’s doable! If you haven’t yet chosen a stay, I would be happy to curate a personalized selection for you. See “Tailored Stays & Bookings” above for more info.
