About France Routebook.

France Routebook is a trip planner for Americans going to France, built one decision at a time: which station, which town to sleep in, whether you need a car, what to book first. A station name, an overnight base or a return timetable can change an entire day, so that is where we spend our effort.

Who writes it

France Routebook is run by Pierre, who is French by origin and passionate about his country and everything there is to discover in it. The site is published by MicroDev. Every page passes a human review before it goes live, and the reviewer and review date are shown under each article’s title.

We are open about how the work is done: research and first drafts are AI-assisted, and nothing is published until it has been checked against the sources and reviewed by a person. We do not describe hotel stays, meals or tours we have not taken, and we do not publish reader reviews or ratings we cannot verify.

How a page is checked

Every practical fact links to the organization that controls it: the rail operator, the museum, the visitor office, the government agency. Beside each source we show the date we checked it. Rules that change fast, such as the EU’s entry systems, get a short review date; timetables and opening hours are shown as dated examples, with a reminder to confirm your own date. When a source is unclear or out of date, we say so instead of guessing.

Corrections

If something has changed, write to hello@franceroutebook.com with the page, the passage and the official link that shows the change. We check it against the source and update the page and its check date. See the contact and corrections page.

Money

Some hotel and car rental links earn us a commission, always marked beside the link, and we sell our own field guides. We choose the base, route or visit first and add a booking link afterward. How we earn money · Editorial policy · Privacy
