It’s snowing outside my window here in the middle of Canada. Quite a contrast to the sun-drenched towns you’ve highlighted. I’ve been to them all and yearn to return. Thanks for making a miserable day lovely.
As an inhabitant of the South of France, here are some precisions and ideas : -Arles and Perpignan have a pretty bad reputation in terms of safety. Be careful if you go there. -Aix-en-Provence is not that zen. Most people have a kind of Parisian's mind, especially the younger ones. -Avignon has the beautiful Palais des Papes, its gardens and a festival. -Roussillon is totally missing here. It's a beautiful village near Gordes with incredible orange cliffs all around! -Les Baux de Provence is also a beautiful village in the heart of the Alpilles, one of the most beautiful landscape of Provence. Even Johnny Depp lives here. -Saint Remy de Provence is also located in the Alpilles. It's pretty much like Aix-en-Provence, but with a real Provençal state of mind ;) -Sanary-sur-Mer is one of the most beautiful harbor, especially around Christmas when every boat is decorated. -L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgues is a beautiful town built with many rivers going by. It kinda reminds me of Memphis in ancient Egypt. This French town is also known for its old water mills. -Fontaine de Vaucluse is a small village also known for its river. It also has a very strange natural well that is sometimes empty and sometimes totally full. -I personally love Miramas Le Vieux, a small village over a hill with one of the best ice-cream maker of Provence and a stunning view. -Toulouse is also a place to visit if you like authentic Occitanie and Cassoulets. -Cassis is one of the most beautiful bay in the world. It's that simple. -I heard a lot of nice things about Bayonne compared to Perpignan. -St Guilhem le Désert, which is a medieval kind of village with a large waterfall in its center (when it's not dry). -And finally I would like to add Saint Maurice de Navacelles, a very small village located in the center of the Cirque de Navacelles. It's like a reverse Eze or Peillon. I mean that you arrive by the top of the mountains around and you have to go down to discover this small village with a huge waterfall, all that surrounded by the amazing Cirque de Navacelles! I hope you found it useful 👍
Bonjour Monsieur. Non à Aix ils ont des esprits démoniaques sur eux. Depuis que j'y suis, je ne vois que des gens atteints psychologiquement. Ils sont menteurs fourbes, vantards, hypocrites, profiteurs. Dans le Sud les gens ne sont pas accueillant. Désolée pour le message. ✌🏽😇🙏🏽
"It kinda reminds me of Memphis in ancient Egypt." I just wonder. When were you born, old chap? Le bourg de Navacelles is a magical place, I remember having a beer there with my pal Ramses 2.
Ou alors on dit rien et on laisse les touristes d'Instagram aller où on ne va pas et on garde nos endroits authentiques sans attirer les masses, il y en déjà suffisamment en France
Je vis a Perpignan, il y a beaucoup moins a craindre que sur la côte d'azur ou je fais mes saisons depuis des années et j'entends constamment des histoires de racket et de vol. Y êtes vous déjà aller où est ce juste une réputation que continuer à distiller sans savoir??
Et sans parler des viols, attouchements et harcèlement de rue... Sur toute la côte d'azur, de Cannes a Menton. Et dans le métro les pickpocket, ainsi que le car Jacking sur la promenade des anglais. Mais bien-sûr Perpignan c'est pas sur. C'est d'une tristesse entendre les gens plomber la réputation de notre ville sans vraiment de raisons, sans connaître. Pour un touriste il y a vraiment peu de risque, a moins d'aller se balader au champs de Mars ou a saint jacques et encore. Mais bien sûr a Paris les touristes ne vont pas dans les quartiers craignos. Franchement ça me tue de lire votre commentaire
Merci de me faire découvrir mon propre pays, je n'avais jamais entendu parler de Peillon, mais la vérité c'est qu'il y a un nombre considérable de beaux et typiques villages dans le sud, ne figurant sur aucune liste, c'est çà aussi la beauté de la découverte au hasard des routes, se perdre délibéremment pour être surpris, essayer des routes inspirantes pour s'en prendre plein les yeux
You talked of a town where I live in the South East, near the Spanish border. You could have given a shout out to the picturesque little village of Eus which is also up high and voted one of the third most beautiful villages in France and receives the most sunshine.Then there's Castelnou, pearl of Catalonia, a vicomtal 12th century castle dominates the cobbled, narrow streets of the village with the Canigou mountains providing a beautiful background. And the amazing Fort Liberia, a 3-tiered fort designed by Sébastien Vauban, military architect under Louis IV to ward off the Spanish; I've often visited there and never tire of the beauty of the breathtaking scenery. A must to see for those who'd like to visit the Eastern Pyrenees.
@@annemariestein7491 Yes, definitely. The beaches aren't much to write home about, but the little town in itself, is a beauty. A walk up to the fort which is now open to the public and a stop-off at the restored windmill for crushing the olives. And from this lofty station you have an amazing view of Collioure and the sea.
Merci du fond du coeur pour cette vidéo. Grâce à vous, je suis partie à la découverte de mon pays. Et je compte bien aller visiter certaines de ces villes. Merci encore
I've been to a few of these places. Arles - cute city. St Paul de Vence was absolutely picturesque, loved Eze but there were so many tourists there when I happened upon the city. Carcassonne was super quaint but my favorite of all these had to have been Gordes. That region is pretty, save Cannes, which I didn't really like.
Great content, thank you. As a French born US resident who’s planning to retire back to my birthplace, I appreciate being reminded just how many beautiful and precious places still exist in France.. But please consider a little extra effort and insert a quick map view in your editing just before each segment to give your viewers a instant feel as to the “where” in France are all these special locations! It is the biggest failing of nearly 90% of all the travel videos I see on RUclips!
Can anyone tell me: 1) what is the cost of living in those small towns? 2) what can you for living there if you're a foreigner relocating to one of those small towns(with little knowledge of French but wiling to learn)? 3) what is the weather there? Do they have winters? Is it raining a lot over there?
Absolument admirables ces villes mais il manque une perception qui ne se décrit pas avec des mots, je parle de la célèbre "douceur de vivre à la française" .
Aix-en-Provence is a pretty city but this is not a town and I wouldn't have included it. What should have been included is Moustiers-Ste-Marie. I would move there if I could.
What weird pronunciation you have? Menton is pronounced ‘Monton’. When you refer to Cannes, you don’t pronounce the ‘s’. You say ‘Cun’. ‘Saint’ (St. Paul de Vence) is said ‘San’. You got Perpignan perfectly though! Congratulations too on projecting your admiration for this historic, beautiful and fascinating region.
Aix est une ville très bourgeoise et inhospitalière. Pour profiter du sud-est, mieux vaut aller à Avignon, moins chère, plus chaleureuse et plus vivante culturellement parlant.
Avignon est une ville pleine de délinquants . la saleté est partout surtout pendant le festival . L 'hiver c'est une ville triste et morte contrairement à Aix
I loved Saint Remy. Visited there, Avignon, Roussillon, Gordes, Menerbes, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse Arles, Aix, Le Lavandou, Ramatouelle, Antibues, Saint Tropez, and Nice in 2022. All fantastic, but there's a little cafe in a downtown square in Saint Remy that is perfect for lunch on a sunny afternoon.
@@k-member Because for most part of foreigners , France boils down to Côte-d azur and Paris, above all movie stars for example...Lets talk about Alsace, Flanders or Auvergne for example!
@@Lefab3470 that’s not true! I went to Paris when I was young- 1992! I was so appalled, I never returned to France until 2022- and went to Bordeaux- and fell in love with it! I couldn’t believe how friendly, kind and accommodating the people were. I have now booked 2 weeks in Dordogne, and I know I am going to love ‘off the beaten track’ more! It’s like saying’London IS England’! No it’s not! Londoners don’t represent the counties or suburbs!
Trop de touristes tue le tourisme. Bien choisir ses dates. Sinon, oui, pourquoi pas…. À moins d’aimer être dans une ville comme au supermarché, là, je ne peux plus rien faire pour vous. Chers… consommateurs…🙄
Showing boats,birds ,street lamps, plastic table and chairs .Do you think people will get the essence of the town ? You have one minute for each town and you are showing hanging signs and just fragments of building ,arches, stadium ? VERY DISAPPOINTING. INSULT TO VIEWER'S INTELLIGENCE
This is amazing video, thank you for showing the quality content and information + travel guidance for people who love travelling, exploring beautiful destinations like this. Hope to see more from you. ❤✈️🛫🌁⛰️🛣️🛤️🏕️
I'm glad to hear you say that :) We're going to Avignon in about a month and we thought we'd also stop by Nîmes. Anything else you think we should see while there? :)
@@Snowshowslow Les Baux de Provence is lovely but busy. The pont du Gard is close and spectacular. Uzès is very pretty and a great place for lunch. Enjoy your stay!
@@Snowshowslow go to the old mine at Les Baux. They do amazing sound and light shows there. If you’re in Vaucluse, you must visit the Luberon. The valley containing the town of Apt. All the villages lining that valley are STUNNING. Gordes, Menerbes, Bonnieux, Roussillon. Then drive over the Col de Murs and visit Ventoux. I’m going to be there soon! Riding my bike in those beautiful hills every day!

I used to live in Aix-en-Provence, you actually filmed my old apartment building at 10:35 hahaha
Wow this video is amazing and French too 😍
Don't miss nimes,a day walking the old town ,the Roman Coliseum ,and beautiful gardens and much more ,love nimes
The most interesting is Nime. Roman canals,temples, and gladiatorial arena, fascinating.
Absolutely stunning & picture-esque views..thank you for the video
I from Aix-en-Provence, your nice video makes me happy and proud 🤝
Vive Aix
I visited Aix-en-Provence and it was beautiful. If I was born there, I would never leave. I am from the United States, but I love France.
I am planning for a solo travel...Can you please suggest one village to visit during Oct end...
Great video! I don't have enough vacation time!
The coverage of Aix and the music was wonderful.

Tres Bien!🌐🫶🌹🛡️🌟💫✨🏆🍿🧈😇
I liked
like the music besides the video. My family got off on Roman ruins everywhere in the South
I wasn't there but they are very beutiful❤
Beautiful Towns, but i miss Avignon....
I would also suggest Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer as a pleasant, quite, out of the way, beach town to use as a base when seeing the area.
thats a good idea
Can anyone tell me:
1) what is the cost of living in those small towns?
2) what can you for living there if you're a foreigner relocating to one of those small towns(with little knowledge of French but wiling to learn)?
3) what is the weather there? Do they have winters? Is it raining a lot over there?
on my list is Brest, Brittinay ,Thank you
Best country in the world
hello could you tell me the name of the village in the beginning of the video on the first seconds of the video thanks
THE VILLAGE LIFE IS A REAL WORLD 🌍 IT'S BEAUTIFUL & HARMFUL LIFE I LIKE THIS BEAUTIFUL PLACE 🌹🌹🌹🌹
