In recent years, the way people travel has undergone a significant transformation. More than ever, travelers seek unique, personalized experiences that go beyond standard itineraries. France, with its rich history, diverse landscapes, and cultural treasures, has become a prime destination for tailor-made travel experiences. At France By Locals, we specialize in creating bespoke journeys, partnering with B2B clients to deliver unforgettable trips for their customers.
Why is tailor-made travel on the rise?
The shift from mass tourism to personalization
Gone are the days when travelers were content with cookie-cutter itineraries. Today, discerning travelers crave authentic, immersive experiences that cater to their individual preferences. They want to explore destinations at their own pace, interact with locals, and uncover hidden gems that are often overlooked by mainstream tourism.
Responding to a post-pandemic mindset
The global pandemic has reshaped the travel industry. People are more intentional about how they spend their time and money, prioritizing quality over quantity. Tailor-made travel offers the flexibility, exclusivity, and safety that today’s travelers value most. From private guided tours to personalized culinary adventures, custom trips are now synonymous with meaningful and memorable travel.

Market trends shaping tailor-made travel in France
The rise of experiential travel

This demand for hands-on experiences aligns perfectly with the services we offer at France By Locals.

A closer look: the reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris
One of the most anticipated moments for travelers to France is the reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris. After years of restoration following the devastating fire in 2019, this iconic cathedral is ready to welcome visitors again.
At France By Locals, we’ve developed exclusive itineraries that not only include a visit to Notre-Dame but also delve deeper into Paris’s rich spiritual and artistic heritage. From private walking tours along the Seine to behind-the-scenes experiences at nearby landmarks, we ensure your clients get a holistic and personalized perspective of this monumental event.
