A day of patisserie by the hour
Sweet Route
Choose a city, one to three days and a pace; the planner fills the morning with a boutique, noon with a chocolatier, the afternoon with a tea and the evening with a hotel dessert, and lets you swap any stop.
The Sweet Route builds a day around the rhythm of a city: a croissant or a counter in the morning, chocolate at noon, afternoon tea at four, a hotel dessert in the evening. Pick the city, the number of days and the pace, swap any stop you do not like, keep the ones you do, and share the route.
Each destination in the guide has its own addresses in each category; the planner distributes them across the slots of the day without repeating a house, respects the pace (slow means fewer stops, greedy means more) and lets you fix any stop with the keep button before reshuffling. The route is written into the address of the page, so a shared link opens the same plan.

Three at a slow pace, four at normal, five when greedy: a boutique, a chocolatier, an afternoon tea and one or two hotel desserts.
Can I plan more than one city?
One city per route; plan the next city in a second route and share both.
