      👍 Und das klappt gut mit dem Wohnmobil: Große Parkplätze am Rand der Dörfer, und von dort kann man jeweils gut reinlaufen!

    Very beautiful how far is it from Marseille

    • @rivierago
      @rivierago  4 місяці тому

      From Marseille, the distances are similar as from Nice: depending on the village, it’s a 1.5 to 2 hour drive by car

    Are the shops and restaurants in these quaint villages open in December? I am planning a trip to these villages.

    • @rivierago
      @rivierago  9 місяців тому

      Many of them will probably be closed in December… there are mostly only the locals left that time of year. If you’re looking for something more lively in Provence in winter, we suggest you check out Aix-en-Provence. Among the villages we’re showing, we would assume Bormes and Cotignac to be the ones with the most open shops/restaurants in December

    • @rivierago
      @rivierago  Місяць тому +1

      Hi, sorry we took a moment to get back to you… only to realise we don’t really know the answer at all. Wild guess: €1500-2000??? Please check with a real estate agent in one of the villages, there are tons that you should be able to find online. Sorry!

    Is there no way to get to these villages by train?

      @rivierago  9 місяців тому +2

      No, unfortunately, not that we are aware of… they are in the middle of nowhere. For Bormes-les-Mimosas you can take the train to Hyères, but it’s still around 20 min by car from there

      @@rivierago Ah okay. I think I will try to go to some of the other villages you mentioned in a different video, perhaps taking a train from Aix or maybe I will have to take buses. I really like the look of Gordes and Baux de Provence and Moustiers Saint Marie.

      They are lovely, all three of them! We haven’t yet shown Gordes and Les Baux, since from where we‘re based (near Nice) it’s quite the trip. But we‘ve been there, of course, and they are stunning!

    Beautiful video! I love how you captured the charm of these villages in Provence. It’s amazing to see how unique each place feels. Speaking of charming villages, I recently shared a video on my channel titled Travel Vlog French Village Dubai 🇦🇪 | Walking Tour Charm. It’s a walking tour exploring a village-inspired destination with a similar cozy vibe. Would love to hear your thoughts on it if you have a chance to check it out. Keep up the great work!

    What is your definition of tacky shops left and right? I see plenty in this video, overrated overpriced, but fake characters

    • @rivierago
      @rivierago  9 місяців тому

      We said „mostly touristy but not tacky“ for the shops in Bormes and we mean it! Of course it’s touristy stuff, but mostly of a certain quality, not what you would find in those souvenir shops lining certain streets in Paris with cheap plastic things all Eiffeltower.
      You can find hand crafted local pottery for example, local fabric etc. Yes, there may also be the odd lavender sachet coming from China, but that’s why we said „mostly“ 😅
