FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
What is France Trip Secrets?
France Trip Secrets is a receptive luxury travel agency that specializes in Western France. It is a brand of Loire Secrets, a destination management company founded in 2013 and based in Saint-Mathurin-sur-Loire, in the Loire Valley. The team designs private, tailor-made trips in the Loire Valley, Normandy and Brittany, with departures from Paris. Each trip is led by local guides or driver-guides, so you travel only with your own party.
Are France Trip Secrets and Loire Secrets the same company?
Yes. France Trip Secrets is a brand of Loire Secrets, and the same team in the Loire Valley plans and runs every trip. That is why the contact address on this site is a loiresecrets.com email (contact[@]loiresecrets.com) and why some reviews mention Loire Secrets by name. You deal with one company from your first request until you get home.
What does a receptive travel agency do?
A receptive agency, also called a DMC (destination management company), is based in the destination itself. Loire Secrets designs your itinerary, then books and coordinates everything on the ground in France: accommodation, transport with a driver, guides, visits, activities and meals. Because the team lives in the region, it works directly with winemakers, castle owners, chefs and artisans. Travel agencies abroad also use Loire Secrets to run trips for their own clients.
Which regions of France does France Trip Secrets cover?
The agency covers three regions of Western France: the Loire Valley (castles, vineyards, gardens), Normandy (D-Day landing beaches, Mont-Saint-Michel, Rouen) and Brittany (Saint-Malo, Dinan, Carnac, the coast). Trips can start from Paris, and a stay in Paris can be added. If you also want to see a region outside Western France, the team can put you in touch with a local agency that specializes in it.
How does a tailor-made trip with France Trip Secrets work?
There is no fixed package. You share your dates, the number of travelers and what interests you, such as castles, wine, D-Day history or the coast, and a travel designer builds an itinerary around it. The trip is private: your own driver-guide, visits and tastings organized for your party, and hotels and meals chosen to match. You can ask for changes to the proposal until it fits.
How do I start planning a trip to Western France with you?
Send an email to contact[@]loiresecrets.com or call +33 (0)2 41 91 94 76 with your travel dates, how many people are coming, where you are staying if you already know, and what you would like to do. Mention any dietary needs or mobility issues. A travel designer replies within a few days with a proposed itinerary and a quote, which you can adjust before confirming.
