I DEFINITELY want videos from your road trip with Kate! You guys are so funny together - you just have a natural chemistry that is a joy to watch. I think you should include the "road" part of it, including the rest stops, the car banter, etc. I also selfishly want to see how you enjoy La Rochelle because it's "my" region.
I think that even if you guys end up feeling wistfully/regretfully nostalgic for France, it's important to realize that the same thing would happen in the reverse direction, because like you said, you'll be on *vacation*! (Well, partly.) Of course it will be magical. No matter where you are, you'll miss the other place after awhile and view it with rose-colored glasses (no pun intended). Oui in France talks a lot about this, and so if you want to make a video about this perspective I think you should collaborate with her!
Your joy was just overflowing in this video. I got excited for you! 😍
@@NotEvenFrench Love this idea! Also the south of France home tour :)
I watch both of you and I’m looking forward to seeing you together! All of your ideas sound great.
And maybe you can find a way to collaborate with Sam Fournier too. She's expat from USA and lives close to Aix en Provence 😋
Highly recommend Lake Annecy, especially since you'll be there in the summer. my favourite place in France, for sure!
I live in Annecy from 2019-2020 just love that place
I was going to say Annecy and its surrounds! I’m moving back there early July. You could do a vlog on food from the Savoie region 🫕
@@brittany3391 My partner is from La Haute Savoie ! Definitely stop by une fruitière (cheese factory) eat some comté for me! lol
I’m going there in August 💕
I've been seeing Lake Annecy on the show throughout France with the Kretz family, L'Agence. It's beautiful there, good suggestion! (from Sandi)
If you're going to be near Lyon, an amazing day trip is the medieval village Pérouges! You can get there by train from Lyon very quickly or take a short drive. It is totally fortified like Carcassonne and it was voted the cutest village in France! It's a hidden gem for sure and so adorable. Make sure to try the local specialty "la galette de Pérouges" which is delicious!
Enjoy your trip to France and if you need more recommendations for Lyon I'd be happy to be your tour guide! Or if you would like to meet for a coffee in Lyon I'd love that! I'm an American expat in Lyon and your channel inspired me to move to France. I've been a big fan for quite a few years now :)
You should join Street Parking:) It's an online fitness community. It's so fun and helps so much with maintaining your fitness when you're traveling 🙌 It's a blast. I totally understand you not wanting to lose your progress, but I think you will be surprised how much you will maintain as long as you keep strength training while you're gone. You got this! ☺️👏🏻
Welcome back Rosie 🇫🇷 👍
Félicitation!! Can't wait to hear about all the different perspective and nostalgia this trip will bring 👍👍
I’m so happy for you, Rosie!
Absolutely OVERJOYED for you!! Grinned ear-to-ear the entire video and wishing you a wonderful time!!
so happy and excited for you! and YES YES YES to all the video ideas!
So EXCITED for you and for the coming videos!
Yaaaaay !!! So happy you'll be back !
How exciting! I’m so jealous! When you and Kate do your road trip along the Côte d’Azur, I would totally recommend a visit to Éze-Village, you can get there by bus from Nice, and connect to another bus from there to Monaco, but it is where all the perfumeries are, and I especially love Fragonard, I believe you can tour their ‘factory’ and you used to be able to blend your own fragrance.
Bonjour ! Yes the "village perché" of Eze, near the beautiful city of Nice, is absolutly stunning. I was there last week (on holidays from Paris). I will never forget the "jardin extraordinaire" on the top and the incredible wiew of the mediteranean cost.
*We are waiting for you!!! Great!!* ☺
Yay ! You are coming back!
I'm so so happy for you, really good news!
Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert is a lovely medieval village located on the Chemin de St-Jacques de Compostela. Montpellier is also an interesting vibrant small city.
"Small" ?!
Montpellier has more people (290k) than my entire department 🤣 (220k people in Indre)
Yep but better to go early in the morning because otherwise the parking situation is especially difficult in Saint-Guilhem. But great to do a hike as well or go canooing
Ohhh so exciting!!! Have as much fun as you can 🥰 I would kindly request you have a nice sit down at Laudurée. I think a moment of being slow and let the world pass you by as you eat macarons is lovely. Take care and have a lovely holiday 😘😘
A fac-simile of the prehistoric Cosquer cave is having its grand opening in june. it sits in the marseille harbour (Villa Mediterranée).
I would love to see a video of you and Kate talking about how you guys met and what it's like being friends long distance!
Also, it would be great to see Paul Taylor back on your channel again!
Thank you so much for the video
Félicitations Rosie ! 🎉
I can't wait to see your vids in France! I too want to visit France in the future and this will be a great "introduction" to France for me! Merci et passe une belle journée!🇨🇵
So happy for you Rosie, especially as you’re going for a whole 3 months. I’ll look forward to your vlogs
10 weeks, so not _quite_ 3 months (it will certainly fly by)!
Woot woot.. 😘🥳
You will be very busy, but it will be a wholesome moment for you.
Yay! Good idea just to be there and go to other countries another time. Sounds like you have some tourist type things in mind in France but good also to just enjoy catching up with people and your time there. Bon voyage, Rosie! And right, you’ll probably just want to relax on the flight by the time you get there! Cheers!
Yay! I'm so happy for you! 🥳 I love all your ideas for videos! I'd especially love to know what a French family eats in a typical week. That would be fascinating!
Your happiness and excitment shows, I enjoy your enthusiasm. We're planning a trip to Paris and Nice at the end of this year. I can't wait.
There is so much to see around there, a lot of beautiful places
So excited for you and Kate’s road trip! I love both of you guys channels. I wonder if there will be an episode of the road trip. :)
Awesome News!! We plan to do a month from there and we will be working from there at the end of the year as well 😀.
See if you can access an airport lounge in SYD. You may be able to pay for a day pass. Totally worth it if you have that long layover.
For the south of France, don't forget to stop by Antibes and Eze.
Don't beat yourself up if you can't do a lot. When I go back home, my main focus is my family.
My husband and I will be in Crete next week!
I recommend spending a day or two in Toulouse! Just an hour from Carcassonne. Great restaurants and shopping! Also, an hour away from Toulouse is a small town called Foix that is in the foothills of the Pyrenees. My family just visited me in France and said they preferred the castle in Foix to the castle in Carcassonne!! Happy travels!
I can't wait for the upcoming videos in France 😍
A partir d'Avignon, le choix est large. A voir : L'Isle sur la Sorgue, Roussillon, Gordes. Dans la journée, c'est possible. L'Ile de Ré : super idée, mais à faire en vélo, il y a des km de pistes cyclables. Carcassonne, c'est extraordinaire comme cité. Sur la Côte d'Azur (j'y réside) ne vous contentez pas de la mer, allez dans l'arrière pays visiter quelques villages perchés, a minima St Paul de Vence, Gourdon proche de Grasse. Une boucle à faire Cannes, Grasse, Gourdon, St Paul, Vence, Nice. Bonnes vacances.
I totally agree- St Paul de Vence is a MUST SEE! You can have lunch in a quaint restaurant aon the balcony overlooking the gorgeous valley. And if you have time there is a Fragonard perfumery close by instead of having to go all the way to Grasse for their main location.
The perfumery of which you speak is a simple shop without interest except to buy perfume that one finds everywhere in the world, in Grasse there are the historical factories which can be visited. After you have the factory shop. Grasse has a fairly large old town like Nice, Antibes, Cannes.
Welcome back Rosie
J'ai hâte de voir tes vidéos en France ! Profitez bien de votre retour dans le sud !
Sounds amazing !! Have a great time ! Could you do a video on where you think the best spots in paris are?
Wow, that sounds like such an amazing program, so exciting!!! I'm the same, I love the summer in France, it can get quite hot in the south but I just love that relaxed vibe of everyone being on holidays! L'ile de Ré is absolutely beautiful, I used to spend holidays there with my family when I was younger :) This year I'm actually gonna spend a week in Avignon in August, I would love to see you there!! If you've never been there, I can recommend visiting the "palais idéal du facteur cheval", it's a sort of palace built by one man, a postman, to honour his daughter, it has a beautiful story and is pretty spectacular and different! It's about two hours north of Avignon! Now can't wait to follow your new adventures in France!!
Hell yeah!!! 🥳🥳
Congrats! I’m excited for your vlogs, especially the road trip of Côte d’Azur. I’m planning a trip there next year so please share all the great spots
While we were in Marseille last June 2021 we took a 2-hour boat tour of the Calanques. It was so gorgeous to go all along the coast looking at the huge cliffs and clear blue ocean. The guide showed us tons of cool places along the coastline and told us lots of interesting facts and history of the area. We even anchored in a more shallow area and got to get out and snorkel and enjoy the cool clear waters for at least 30 minutes. It wasn’t cheap but it really wasn’t outrageously expensive either. If you take a shared tour that has a max of only 8 people you can have just as nice of a time as a private tour at fraction of the cost. We got lucky because although we booked a group tour we had 6 in our party already, plus because covid was still pretty active we were the only ones, so it ended up being private anyway. Whatever you do, I know you and Niles will have a blast!
La Turbie! It's just above Monaco, very cute, and it has a cool looking ancient Roman monument. Great for your road trip.
I absolutely loved Carcassonne. I went in 2004 (😱 I’m getting old). It was so neat, and I remember the people being so nice.
I also loved Nimes! And Rocamadour! I celebrated my 17th birthday in Rocamadour so it holds a special place in my heart ❤️
Uzès about 45 minutes from Avignon is a gorgeous little town for a short change of scenery.
Gréoux-les-Bains for a spa experience, Aix-en-Provence, les gorges du Verdon are all wonderful and beautiful! I`m so happy for you! I am an American in Québec (a wonderful place!), and I love living and working in French, but it makes me miss France!!
Also, les Calanques and Cassis!!
Actually i live and work now in Paris and also I study for a Master at the same time and I go each weekend to a museum… like Louvre. It is not always mega crowded and you can make it if you are really interested.
Between Monaco and Nice, visit Eze village, stunning view of the sea!💦
Between St-Tropez and Toulon, visit Le Rayol with its amazing méditerranéen garden
After Carcassonne, visit Toulouse and head to Gaillac, Albi with its marvellous red bricks cathedral,
then Cordes sur Ciel one of the oldest village of France (XIII century) and one the gorgeousest 💚 !
Keep going to St-Antonin-Noble-Val; Cahors etc. till Ile de Ré !🤗
Have fun !!!💥
Yay, so happy for your trip! At Cote d'Azur I highly recommend to leave car or get off at the train station in Cap d'Ail and walk by foot to Monaco. It's such a picturesque path, you definitely won't regret. And you can come back by train as well.
So happy for you that you are able to come back to France ! 🎊
As for the places to go to, I recommend these :
- Annecy if you've never been (or want to go again), it is so beautiful, especially in summer
- La vallée des merveilles. It is above Nice in the mountains (about an hour drive I think) and is really amazing to hike, such gorgeous landscapes
- St Jean Cap Ferrat is a city close to Nice and it is super cute, you have great beaches and spots to take the sun at. I'd recommend Paloma Beach and the Sentier du littoral that follows the sea
- La Rochelle is a really cute city as well and it isn't far from l'Ile de Ré
- Lavender fields in Valensole
The list could go on and on honestly, whishing you the best time and can't wait to see your videos 😃
Exciting! I’m on the Eurostar to Paris right now and the delayed train is not moving fast enough for my liking. 🥖
So happy for you! ;)
Content pour vous. Bon voyage.
You should be in Provence during the best lavender and sunflower seasons. It will be beautiful!
HI Rosie, nice to hear about your journey in the south of France. good to visit are Aix en Provence, les Gorges du Verdon, les Beaux-de-Provence, Saint Paul de Vence, Gourdon, Marseille (Calanques, Ile de Porquerole,etc). and so much more 😄
Can't wait to see your reactions back
to France !!! You will love your South trip.
Carcassonne is amazing !!! (Taste the Cassoulet)
Love your hair !
So happy for you! A house tour in Provence sounds good! The Marseille harbor is one of the most scenic places in Europe, so I hope you get to spend some time there. The view from the church on the hill - Notre Dame du Garde - is spectacular and I can still remember the smell of the pine trees up there. / In Paris, I will never forget the show at night of the fountains and lights at Versailles- and even with fireworks. Fit for Louis XIV. Have a blast! Much amour! - Also have some bouibaisse for me and a real nicoise salad!!
I was in Marseille 3 years ago & loved it. I can recommend Arles, it’s only an hour away by train, historic Roman amphitheatre & lots of narrow winding streets; très mignon.😊
Kia ora Rosie! You may have already been but, we highly recommend Pont du Gard and Uzès. Fantastique 😍
Profit bien!
Yes, to a visit to Carcassonne. I studied in Montpellier. If you haven’t been there, it’s worth a stop. Nimes too.
So excited for you!! I love the video ideas of the typical south of France home and the typical food in a week. How about a vid of non-Parisian fashion? There's tons of material about Paris fashion do's and don'ts, but what about the rest of France? How does the rest of the country show off that famous je ne sais quoi? Thank youuuuuu! Good luck with the eye surgery and the flights, and have a wonderful time in France!
Il De Ra is wonderful... it was a great road trip with my French boyfriend in 2022... He is in Tour, so it wasn't a long drive!!! La Rochelle was a nice city too!!
35 years ago I received a Souleiado scarf, which I absolutely love. If I ever make it to the south of France, I would love to visit the Musee Souleiado in Tarascon. It's just a short drive from Avignon.
omg how exciting! I loved Avignon when I went for a day trip when I went to Montpellier for a month for a college study abroad!!! I would love a collab video with Kate! Oooh or Paul Taylor! Hope you have the best time! Exciting! I love the idea of food blog videos too!
Hi Rosie! If you've never been there yet, you should definitely have a day trip to "La route des crêtes" between La Ciotat and Cassis (near Marseille). It's a scenic road with incredible views on the mediterranean sea and coast from the top of the highest european sea cliffs! 😍 There are several stops along the road where you can park your car and have small hikes on the edges.
Profite bien de ton retour 😁
Musee de la marine probably wasn't open yet when you left and is gorgeous
I was gonna mention making a food video & you mentioned it! Definitely make that one please 😊 I can't wait to go back to France one day too 🥲
Get a Lounge Pass for the Sydney airport! 😀
omg I've been WAITING for this video 🤩Super looking forward to all the vlogs! For day trips I'd recommend Reims and/or Troyes in Champagne, they're about an hour and a half away from Paris, full of beautiful churches, cathedrals, and medieval vibes :) And Grenoble is close to Lyon, and small but lovely, offering great views of the Alps and a very good art museum (Musée de Grenoble).
Sorry but I wouldn't recommend Grenoble. It is a terrible city. Ugly and uninteresting... probably the worst cities I've been to in France.
Hi Rosy.
For Carcassonne try to be there for the fire works on 14th July, it’s amazing, really.
You can also see :
« Pic du midi » (you can even sleep there)
« Dune du pilat » for a vidéo with Sunset.
Enjoy your trip!
Belle Ile en Mer
Dual nationality NZ / France, been here now over two years, doing the Camino in June
I hope you enjoy Nice. :) I just visited for the first time 2 weeks ago. It’s a beautiful French city.
Hi Rosie! I live in Marseille so I recommand you to see the lavender fields in Valensole in July , les Calanques de marseille et de cassis (beaches), les gorges du Verdon, les baux-de-provence, aix-en-provence. In the côte d'azur, you can go to Grasse, well known for the perfume.
Have a good trip!
I wish you an amazing journey back in France.
Near Avignon is les Alpilles area : les Baux de Provence (+ le moulin de Castelas nearby : they produce a tasty olive oil), St Remy de Provence (+ confiserie Lilamand), the " Site Archeologique de Glanum" (+ the Perou lake nearby : in the morning or the evening), and the Eygalière village.
Oh yay! Rosie you look so happy talking about this trip, I can feel it in the video. 😂
Looking forward to meeting in real life in Marseille as Im planning my trip too.
The south is my favourite region in France and I remember doing the Cote D’azur road trip, it is heaven on earth 😌
From Marseilles, I have loved les Calanques de Cassis, Grasse, St.Tropez and Menton just before the italian border. Im sure you will stop in Nice and Monaco as well
On the other side of Marseille, there is Camargue, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, for a complete change of scenery. You can do horse riding - dans les champs de Camargue, cheveux au vent 😜
If you like Carcasonne, more in lands from Avignon above Toulouse, you can also check out Sarlat-la-Caneda, Rocamadour for some chèvre ( the cheese of course) and nice château
Bon Voyage!
la Côte d'Azur Marseille ; pour les touristes vous allez voir tout ce qui brille le paraitre , le luxe ? tout est artificiel , tout est superflue ! en tant que français , je ne suis pas d'accord du tout avec vous , c'est loin d'être : le paradis sur terre (si le fameux paradis existe). vous ne verrez jamais les quartier pauvres de Marseille , une des villes la plus sale de France . la corruption est une institution généralisé sur toute la Côte d'Azur c'est comme à Las Vegas , Hollywood , New-York , Miami , ils ne montrent jamais le côté sordide de ces villes . la méditerranée est la mers la plus polluée au monde . je suis désolé de vous contre dire , mais il faut dire aussi l'envers du décor ! bonne journée à vous
Yay 🥳🥳🥳
Ooooouh you should check out the lavender fields in the L'Abbeye de Senanque! Parking is nuts but it's beautiful
WELCOME in France , bienvenue chez toi .
11:01 This will never cross my mind, ever. The Indian heat wave, the hottest summers on record, even Sydney in spring or autumn is too hot for me.
Auckland's winter is perfect for me, even the cold snaps aren't that bad for the past 3 years. I'd happily catch a cold like I did last 2 weeks than being stuck in heatwaves for 4 months or more.
Oh my gosh I'm so excited for you!!!!! And I'm so excited you're making videos in France again!! Those used to be my favorite.
Okay
Ideas:
Vlogs: just us where you're going and what you're doing. A little goes a long way. Any French content is interesting content.
Obviously your usual genius comparisons :)
Collab with Kate!!!!!!
Have you ever collabed with Jay Swanson? He's pretty cool.
Have a WONDERFUL time!!!!
If you want to go to Carcassonne, you should organize a trip to the Pyrénées. Another landscapes you can find in the Alps. And of course, Castelnaudary for the famous Cassoulet. And to the end, Toulouse, the beautiful "Pink City" , of course
EDIT: I wrote this comment before I got to the part where you said you're going to l'Île de Ré ! 😄😄 Welcome to "my" region! You're gonna love it.
La Rochelle! Not so close to where you'll be staying in Provence, but worth the trip. Gorgeous old port city, plus there's l'Île de Ré and l'Île d'Oléron close by. (But I'm biased - my partner is from Niort, ~40 miles away, and we just bought an apartment there and are moving in July.)
P.S. Love the purple hair on you! It made me wonder if you'll have it when you are in France, and if you will go back to feeling like the foreigner who stands out with all your loud accessorizing. 😄
Hi, while in the south, try to check out le Grau du roi. Its super nice there
The final stage of Tour de France at Champs-Élysées is on July 24.
Woo🥳
Nature trip : come and discover the lakes, mountains and ne waterfall of the Jura !
Come to Bordeaux and St Emilion and come and say Bonjour!
Watch Russel Crowe in A Good Year then visit the filming locations near Avignon.
If you like walled cities, give Aigues-Mortes a try. An easy day-trip from Avignon.
I don't know about other countries, but 10 weeks is about a normal school term in primary and high school split into 4 terms.
Yay so happy for me ..i mean you 😂 great ideas for vids. How about clothing? Vlogs? Can’t wait
I’m going to study abroad at Montpellier in three month. I’m so uneasy but super excited to go out there
Saint Denis it's beautiful 😉
Aww you really look so happy going back! I’m moving there for school to Grenoble. Any tips for this city?
Hi, so I am from La Rochelle, and I although you have to drive through La Rochelle to go to île de Ré some people just don't stop there, and I would suggest you do:) It's a really pretty historic town where I think you should at least spend a few hours in the centre or even better a whole day (eating seafood for dinner in a nice cobblestone street by the harbour!) ! As for île de Ré, so many nice places and beaches (all of which will probably be overcrowded lol), BUT to me, the nicest part is the north of the island (Les portes en Ré/phare des baleines sorta area), and there's two really nice beaches in this area called Trousse-Chemise and La Patache (w/ bar on the beach!!) where you should go if you can! Really do hope you enjoy your trip xxx
Why not a little passing in Nantes ? :)
It's not very far of the Ocean (Pornic / Le croisic / Guérande / etc.).
And we have a big elephant :D (During summer, there is a green line in the city : "le voyage à Nantes" with some artistic stuff in all the city)
By the way, nice trip ! :D
Have fun! Wow I was hesitant to get a ticket to CDG FOR $543 from Atlanta! I guess that's a steal!! #realtalk
I'd love it if you would give some pointers on great places to stay in/around Paris for families! I know it's you and your husband traveling, but just a mention for good places to stay that are a little less pricey and/or can accommodate more than 2-4 people/room would be awesome! Thanks! Love your channel!
You should go to Les Cascades du Hérisson, in Jura ! (But maybe that's too far)
In the south, don't miss Carcassonne !
Les calanques de cassis definitely a must see !! and check to book island of monte Cristo in Marseille, when we were there we didn't manage to go there, but we went to another island and was so beautiful!
Can u make a what’s in my travel bag video plz? I love those! 🙏🏼
Love u 😍😍😍❤
