How It Works

Your itinerary, crafted
in under two minutes

Tell us how you travel. We plan the rest - day by day, village by village, with the real depth that only comes from knowing the region properly.

01
🗓

Set your dates & arrival

Choose your arrival and departure dates and select which airport or train station you're flying into. We support all major gateways - Bordeaux, Toulouse, Biarritz, Bergerac, and more.

Your itinerary starts the moment you land and ends in time to catch your flight home. Drive times and distances are calculated realistically - no magical teleporting between villages.

02
🧭

Tell us how you travel

Choose your pace - Classic (cover more ground) or Slow Travel (settle deeply into 2–3 villages). Select your interests, budget, and group size. We use all of this to shape every single day.

Slow Travel mode plans 3–4 nights per base village, swapping driving days for walks, canoe trips, and long lunches. Classic mode builds a logical route across multiple regions.

03

We craft your itinerary

Within about a minute, your full day-by-day itinerary is generated - timed activities, realistic drive segments, market days matched to the actual day of the week, and where to stay & eat each night.

Every itinerary is unique. No two travellers get the same plan. We consider your interests, pace, budget, and dates to suggest places that genuinely suit you - including off-the-beaten-path bastide villages most guidebooks miss.

What's included

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Day-by-day structure

Timed daily plans

Each day is laid out with times, activities, and drive segments so you know exactly what the day looks like - from morning coffee to evening table.

Including realistic driving times

Accommodation & dining

Where to stay & eat

Each overnight stop includes two accommodation suggestions and two restaurant recommendations - matched to your budget and the character of the village.

Per base village, not generic lists

Local knowledge

Market days & openings

Market days, Sunday closures, and seasonal events are planned against your actual travel dates - so you arrive in Issigeac on a Sunday market morning, not a Monday.

Date-accurate, day-of-week aware

Hidden gems

Beyond the guidebook

Alongside well-known stops, your itinerary will include lesser-known bastides and villages - Monpazier, Monflanquin, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, Issigeac - that reward the unhurried traveller.

Curated for depth, not distance

Route logic

Sensible one-way routes

Flying in to Bordeaux and out of Toulouse? Your route flows naturally between them - no unnecessary backtracking, no wasted driving days.

Multi-gateway routing supported

Exportable

Questions

Things people ask

How long does it take to generate an itinerary?

Most itineraries generate in 45–90 seconds depending on length. A 7-day itinerary typically takes about a minute. A 21-day itinerary may take closer to two minutes. You'll see a status message while it's working.

Can I regenerate if I don't like what I get?

Yes - simply adjust your inputs and generate again. Each generation uses one credit from your license key. License keys are coming soon - all features are currently available during our testing phase.

How accurate are the driving times?

We instruct the planner to assume realistic speeds - 80–90 km/h on departmental roads and 110 km/h on motorways. Times are estimates; always allow extra time in summer when routes through villages can be busier than expected.

Are the accommodation and restaurant suggestions real places?

The suggestions are generated based on knowledge of the region and are intended as starting points for your research. We recommend verifying availability and current opening status before your trip, as businesses change.

What is Slow Travel mode?

Slow Travel mode plans your trip around 2–3 base villages, spending 3–4 nights in each. Instead of driving every day, you take day trips by foot, bike, or canoe. It's built for travellers who want to actually know a place rather than tick it off a list.

Do license keys expire?

Keys are valid for one year from the date of purchase. Unused generations within that period are forfeited. The Unlimited tier has no generation limit for the duration of the key.
