Your Provence Itinerary Looks Great. But Does It Make Sense?

You’ve done the research. Picked the villages, pinned the cafés, and saved 27 Instagram posts “just in case.”
But you’re still wondering: Are my plans realistic? Will it work? Before you share it to the group chat or book everything, wouldn’t it feel good if a Luberon local double-checked it?
Get my honest, thoughtful feedback on what you’ve already planned. I’ll tell you what works, what doesn’t, and what’s missing.
What You Get
I’ll review your day-by-day itinerary and send you structured feedback via email.
ITINERARY REVIEW – €50 per day
Coverage: The Luberon and nearby Provence
Turnaround time: 3-5 business days after payment
Delivery: Email and Google Doc
What I Can Review
Each itinerary is different. The more detailed your plans, the more targeted my feedback. Depending on what you submit, I could review:
🚗 Geography & Logistics
- Village order – geographic sense or unnecessary crisscrossing?
- Drive time estimates considering narrow roads, parking, actual distances
- Accommodation location strategy for your planned activities
- Stay in one place or split bases?
📍Pacing & Flow
- Days too packed, empty, or just right?
- Transitions between activities – smooth or rushed?
- Realistic buffer time for getting lost, traffic, or lingering
- Morning-to-evening flow for your energy and travel style
🏛️ Village & Activity Choices
- Redundant villages (three hilltop villages = diminishing returns)
- Must-sees that deserve your time vs. overhyped spots
- Activities aligned with your interests (or obvious gaps)
- Seasonal timing impact (lavender, markets, winter closures)
🎯 Optimization Opportunities
- Piggybacking activities since you’re already nearby
- Local events or markets during your visit
- Timing strategies to avoid crowds (early/late visits)
- Simple route reordering to save driving time
🍽️ Restaurants & Dining
- Solid picks or tourist traps?
- Dining locations aligned with daily plans (or backtracking required?)
- Better alternatives in same price range and area
⏰ Timing & Reservations
- What to book now vs. what can wait
- Activities requiring advance reservations
- Day-of-week conflicts (closures, market days, French national holidays, school holidays)
👍 Practical Details
- Realistic arrival/departure day plans (flight times, jet lag)
- Parking situations (nightmare vs. manageable)
- Narrow roads, stairs, mobility challenges, baby-friendly spots
- Places that need cash
Praise
This is For You If:
✓ Your trip covers the Luberon (see map below) and nearby Provence (like Aix-en-Provence, L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, etc.).
*If your trip extends to other parts of France and Europe, my custom trip planning service could be a better fit.
✓ You love planning but want a second opinion from someone who lives here.
✓ You’ve put together a plan from blogs and forums and want to make sure it works.
✓ You’re confident in your itinerary but want to catch any mistakes before you go.
✓ You want to know details you may have overlooked.
✓ You don’t need full custom planning—just expert eyes on what you’ve already built.

This is Not For You If:
✗ Your trip is mostly outside the Luberon.
✗ You want me to redesign your whole trip (that’s custom planning, not a review).
✗ You need me to research options or to fill in days – If your plan says “lunch somewhere” or “visit a winery TBD,” I can’t review that.
✗ You want me to compare multiple options – e.g. “Should I do Village A, B, or C?” is a planning question, not a review question.
✗ You want video call support (this is email-only).
How It Works
- Ask for an itinerary review
Email your day-by-day plan to jenny [at] theluberonspy.com with the subject “Itinerary Review Request.” Briefly describe your trip plans and tell me what you’re most excited about and where you are stuck/worried. To give you useful feedback, I need at minimum:
- Dates
- Where you’re staying (village/town, hotel name)
- Planned activities or villages you’ll visit
- Restaurant names (if you have them)
- Approximate timing or order of activities
Accepted formats: Google Doc/Sheets, PDF, Word doc, or email. Just make sure each day is clear and I can follow your plan.
* If your plan is very rough (like “Day 1: drive around Luberon, lunch somewhere”), you won’t get much value from this service. In that case, custom trip planning would be a better fit for early-stage planning.
2. Wait for my response (within 48 hours, Mon-Fri)
I’ll review your submission to make sure it’s detailed enough for meaningful feedback. I might ask follow-up questions. Or, if it’s good to go, I’ll send you a simple service agreement and invoice.
3. Sign agreement & pay
Once I receive your signed agreement and full payment, I’ll start work.
4. Get your feedback (3-5 business days)
You’ll receive an email with a link to a Google Doc with my very detailed feedback on your plans. If you have follow-up questions, please send them within 7 business days of receiving your review.
5. You’re ready for your trip
Safe travels!
Hey, I’m Jenny!
I live here in the Luberon, where I’ve spent years as a serial diner, wine taster, and try-er of all things. When I review your itinerary, you’re catching the problems and gaps before you leave—not when you’re already in Provence. If you’re still looking for help, check out my offers.
