I had some fond memories left at Arles, Alés,Nimes and Avignon. The charm in Arles was particularly powerful...the awakening in dawn summer. Thanx for sharing your experience in Provence. 👏👍👌
I went to Provence in Sept 2021 and this video definitely helped me to plan my itinerary. I rented a car in Avignon and drove out to visit many of these towns. My favorites were Isle La Sorgue and Menton - just past Nice on the French Riviera.
@@lemonsandlavender Michael, it was extremely uncrowded in Oct 2021 (due to the shadow of covid no doubt) but that added to the charm. By far the best surprise was Menton - I spent a whole day on that same pretty little beach you were standing on. In restaurants and around town you could hear as much Italian spoken as French.
Your Portuguese is very good, I don't know Provence but I'm eager to go there, while I can't travel due to the closed borders I look for places to add to my itinerary 😊
@@deniseoliveira728 Yes we also can not travel. No new videos for 18 months. So sad. I hope we can travel again, but I don't want to take the vaccine. I dont trust the government, especially ours. Full of dangerous people who only want power. SO, if France and the rest of Europe requires a vaccine, I don't know what I will do. Maybe Chile and Mongolia.
I believe and hope, we have the sky and clouds to behold, we have nature around us and the positive energy of people who want a better world....Believe!!!
@@lemonsandlavender ..... My husband & I spent 10 days exploring the Normandy region & just recently got back. It's much easier to navigate France if fully vaccinated; & they just recently passed that law "Passe Sanitaire" where as A foreigner, you'll need to carry your vaccine card with You b'coz Restaurants, museums & all tourist spots will ask for it before letting you in 0R your gonna need multiple PCR Covid -19 tests to get around & explore France!!! There are 3 times more restrictive with Covid around. Getting vaccinated = Convienient travel💯.
Just FYI @3.53 we could observe a terrace overlooking the valley in Lacoste.At this precise location Henry Miller wrote an entire book in one afternoon!. Quiet days in Clichy was the title. Your selection is good,but there's a difference between Provence and Cote d'azur. Provence being l'arrière-pays and la Côte d'azur the French riviera. My favorite village provençal is Moustier Ste-Marie .
Menton n'est peut etre pas la Provence mais la cote d'azur ou french riviera sont des appellations touristiques sans réalité culturelles ou historiques.La Provence s'étend historiquement et culturellement jusqu'à saint laurent du var dans la banlieue de Nice , incluant donc 90 % du littoral de la région Paca. Donc non il n'y a de différences entre provence et cote d'azur (qui s'étend de hyeres dans le var à Nice qui pour le coup n'est pas vraiment une ville provencale) ou encore french riviera. Il n' y a que les touristes qui font cette différence.
@@doume8325 merci de me répondre en français. Vive la Provence ☀️🌝🌞 et sa douceur de vivre. Les plaisirs olfactifs que nous pouvont y rencontrer! Un paradis 👍💒🍾👏🥳🦋
I love your videos. Can you please tell me the bossa nova tune at like 4:10. I have heard that on several videos and love it and I am trying to find it
Hello chance upon your video. Plan to go in January. Which town should I be based in to travel around Provence ? Am thinking of Avignon or Aix but I saw many other pretty towns. We are driving so would like a place w easy access and parking too.
I prefer a town of 5k to 20k people. Therefore, I like I'isle sure la sorgue. Gordes and Bonniux, although amazing are too small. In my opinion, Aix and Avignon are too big. Not too much to see in Avignon anyway. See my L'isle sur la Sorgue video.
@@lemonsandlavender thank you. Didn’t know there is nothing much in Avignon. I was thinking of the L’isle as la gourge as well due to reading it being a place of vintage . I might consider that thank you .
Have you considered they're touristy because they are some of the most beautiful villages in Provence? I fully admit there are some villages that may have some more natural beauty (Crestet just up the road from Vaison has incredible views), but one of the reasons people love towns like Vaison, Roussillon, and L'Isle sur la Sorgue is that they have all of the amenities and you can spend a weekend there walking around and not having to get it your car. I have 30 restaurants, 6 groceries, 6 bakeries, 4 wine shops, a hospital and a dozen sites of interest all within a 15 minute walk from my front door...not to mention one of the biggest weekly markets in the area.
what I like most is that you almost do not show yourself, just the necessary, nor you talk. Thank you
Yes, some want to be a youtube star
Was in Provence this fall. Arles was my favorite. Beautiful and artsy. My kinda vibe.
Provence is the best region in the world
Great video
Loved Arles too. Loved all of it. Can't wait to go back.
..wonderful video of Provence, one of the most beautiful places on the world..thank you very much..

Thanks Bill. Happy Traveling
Lovely video Micheal, thank you for showing us these wonderful places,Brian,uk.
The Provence is everywhere beautiful :)
Nice variety. Nice detail. Beautiful pictures and great overview of the area! The music was not too overwhelming!
Thanks for the nice comments. I'll keep doing what I'm doing. Have a great day
I love that Vaison la Romaine made your list! Your view of the Roman ruins was taken just outside of my home.
Amazing .......... i wish if i could visit these superb places ................
They are superb, that's true. You'll visit there some day

Yes, we love Menton. Great little town.
Tanks, Merci, for that splendide virtual trip in France 🇫🇷 😀
You're welcome. Bon voyage
It's a wonderful life
What a difference the weather makes too.
Beautiful video, Provence will definitely be part of my travel itinerary, I love seeing places like this ❤️⭐
Eu tambien amo muito Provence. Obrigado por tus comientos. Felez viagen. Sorry for my bad Portuguese

Congratulations for the beautiful vídeo and excelent music you offer to us.😉
Thanks Gavion. It's a very beautiful place. I hope you can go see it someday.
Drinking Coca-cola and beer in Provence, how interesting! With all the wonderful wines surrounding you...
Weird huh. Actually we had our share of wine, too but you make a good point.
Estive na Provence em 2006 conheci essas cidades ! Unforgetable ! From Brasil.
Espero que voce gusto muitu. Obrigado
Je suis curieux quel est votre vie au Brésil 🤔🤔je veux tout savoir de vous👍👍
Great video thanks! I'm planning to go to Provance in September for a month
Cool, one town that I regret missing is Lourmarin, just a little south of Bonnieux. It think its worth seeing.
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing guys...
Thanks. I hope you can go there someday, or if you've been, go again.
No mentions Les Gorge du Verdon(Canyon) is very beautiful Thanks from France
Your videos are so great….
Kisses from Paris
A french girl
Thanks so much. We hope to make more...if we can get out of the U.S.
Nice video. Keep up the good work
Thanks Sulav
really helpful and pleasant - thank you
Thanks Phil. Glad you enjoyed it
Beautifully captured!😍 It would better if you speak the city name when it comes on the screen 🤘🏻
Not a bad idea
And showed its map position too.

@@alainbergeron4520 c'est normal que je reponde en francais je suis provençal
So good to know. I'll look it up.
Very nice clips. I just wish you kept small captions on in its entirety to identify the towns. thanks
Good idea
I love your videos. Can you please tell me the bossa nova tune at like 4:10. I have heard that on several videos and love it and I am trying to find it
I think I got it from a guy named Kevin MacLeod. He has a website called incomputech.com. good luck and thanks for watching.
Yep.
Thank you 🙂
So glad I discovered your channel planning trip in Late September 3 weeks. Who is this filmed last year? I don’t see any masks just curious
Yes, this was a year before covid, thank goodness
Do it have public transportation from one village to the next liked Cinque Terre (Italy) ?
That's a good question. I'm not sure but I would expect to find buses. But it won't be as good as in Cinque Terre with the train.

One more thing. Aix is a college town, lots of young people. If you are a young guy or gal, you might like Aix for that reason.
@@lemonsandlavender thank you. Didn’t know there is nothing much in Avignon. I was thinking of the L’isle as la gourge as well due to reading it being a place of vintage . I might consider that thank you .
🍀🍀🍀
NICE VIDEO. BUT LOUSY MUSIC, NOT SUITABLE, HAS RUINED THE WHOLE THING.
Big mistake menton is on the cote d azur
Not in provence
You are very correct, but I decided to include it anyway.
But it is often included in Provence on many maps. I can point you to one if you would like.
PACA Provence Alps Côte d’Azur is the name of the province
You have simply picked the best known most touristy towns. Not much imagination...could have done this video from my easy chair.
True, they are touristy. But I went to them. I wasn't in my easy chair my friend.
@@lemonsandlavender good answer

@@danielsapp920 Which town are you in that has all that?
boring
I started to watch this because I love this part of France but this guys harsh American accent put me off. I couldn't watch with the sound on.
Just realised he doesn't talk during it. Good!
Which harsh accent would you like me to use next time?
Des Brittain,but he doesn't talk throughout the video,just on introduction.
I think your being very harsh saying that.brian,uk.
@@brianfield792 A couldn't agree more. Glad you like it. Try the video on sayulita mexico. I talk a lot but I hear it's a good video
