HONEST Impressions After 3 Days in the French Riviera

[@Durga695]

Magnificent, The reason that there are so many little stones on Marc Chagall's tomb, is that it is a Jewish tradition to leave a stones on a grave which symbolizes a showing of respect to the deceased and mostly serving as an indicator that someone has visited the gravesite. This is another wonderful video of yours, showing what a beautiful country France is.

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Yes! What's surprising is how many stones have markings in so many languages. Many were in Asian writing. I dungy Generally think of Asian betting Jewish!

[@eg9453]

I watch you guys interact with each other and I cry. I’ve visited a lot of the same places with my my ex, who basically ruined every vacation and trip we’ve ever been on. I watch you eat delicious foods, stay in beautiful places, some of which I used to stay at and see you so happy and in love and it warms me heart to see that there are still wonderful men out there somewhere, who truly love and care about their spouses. Be happy wherever you are!

[@sharonammirati2042]

took the words right out of my mouth, very same thoughts. Lucky couple, ❤😊

[@nickloong]

It's never easy to enjoy a long holiday with a spouse who's particular about everything. So there's always some give and take in the mix, and if both parties don't give in, the entire vacation will be screwed. That's life!Hahaaa😂😂

[@eg9453]

@@nickloong that sucks!

[@deanstrobel693]

Love ❤ your comment. I’ve thought the same thing. Hate to hear 😢 what you went thru…but at least he is an “ex” now. Go make new memories! 😊

[@devilkuro]

Hello, I'm from the region and if you come back, visit Villefranche-sur-mer, which is a beautiful town east of Nice, one of the most beautiful places on earth, I was born there. Next you can visit Entrevaux, a big castle in the mountains. It's a 1 hour road trip from Nice and is incredibly beautiful too, with a few nice villages to visit on the way there.

[@huguetteleblanc3678]

Vous avez de la chance de vivre dans un tel endroit ! Vous avez raison, c'est l'un des plus beaux endroits du monde. Bonjour en provenance du Québec ❤

[@PaulWilliams-on3ir]

I agree!!

[@charlottelanvin7095]

Yes! And as seen on Emily in Paris, there is a night sleeper train from Paris to Villefranche. Very comfortable!

[@Michelle-xm6no]

VilleFranche, my favorite place to visit. Absolutely love it there.

[@lavieenfrance5175]

i agree! Ezé village is beautiful too❤🇨🇵

[@1bush053]

this channel is a little gem

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Thank you!

[@julieschwartz2135]

I stated watching your videos because I have been to Paris on numerous occasions, and it’s on my list of places I could move to tomorrow! I live in NYC, and my husband is in the process of selling our business so we can be free to travel the world without restrictions. This particular video had me smiling from ear to ear, because watching Colleen “steal” from Antoine’s meal, followed by his wine was so relatable🤣. I adore seeing a couple in my stage of life, clearly in love, experiencing life to the fullest… while helping others to navigate what should be beautiful adventures. ❤️

[@robinps52]

I really enjoy your journeys away from Paris; you take us to such beautiful places in France! Merci, Les Frenchies!

[@mshaw8470]

I love your videos, when Colleen samples Antoine’s main in the opening and uses this as an excuse to pair with his wine just made my day. Because it is not only something I would do, but is so natural and captures everything I love about your videos. Thank you for making my day and please never stop producing such fantastic and informative travel adventures.

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

😊😊😊😊😊

[@mrn13]

Excellent and I would love to see more weekend/day-trips in France!

[@melc1731]

May I suggest that in Antibes one other nice thing to visit is the Grimaldi Castle, and its collection of Picasso's ceramics ? And by the way, the Grimaldi family (now ruling Montecarlo) was originally the ruling family of Antibes.

[@petesmart1983]

Negative about Antibes is huge British area which don't mix and ruined the area

[@nikkideslauriers3707]

You two are simply adorable. We love you! Thank you for taking us with you on your fantastic journeys.

[@olainfree905]

Saint paul de Vence has both the French and italian cuisine because of its location. I have great memories of seeing Chagall's grave

[@acbc3543]

I’ll be there mid October 2024 for a whole Week in the south of France all the way from Austin Texas .

[@MaryAnderson-x9j]

Not enough time. You should spend a couple of months. So worth it

[@huguetteleblanc3678]

Tant de lieux à visiter, tant de traditions à découvrir, tant de différents mets à déguster et grâce à vous nous voyageons un peu. Merci et bonne journée ❤

[@taracatherineriley]

We explored the area in 2022. Just wow. I will never forget my mornings rolling out of bed and walking eight steps to get a nice hot croissant. Continuing to the market, our rental door opened up to that market, filling up my new wicker market tote with the most delectable cheese and fruits I’ve ever tasted. I clutched that market tote all day as we took day trips to Eze, Nice, Monaco, and so many more. We walked the coastal trail and stopped along to devour our market delicacies. The next day we rented a little vessel and followed that same coastal trail by sea to a tie up and snorkel in the most beautiful waters. We closed out the evening with a gelato and a stroll thru the amazing town filled with homes draped with purple and pink flowers ultimately arriving at the Ferris wheel. Aaaaaahhhh, take me back :) So happy you enjoyed this beautiful place. ❤

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Lovely!

[@ladylana3093]

May I ask the name of the rental you stayed at, please? 🙏

[@taracatherineriley]

@@ladylana3093 HI, Sure. I booked thru AirBnB. It’s listed as “2P nice Picasso Museum view and sea”. It was a lovely unit and the hosts were easy to deal with. I must say It is in a building with steps on the fourth floor. We don’t mind steps to get those lovely views. I do apologize as I should have mentioned them in my original comment. The whole town is magical so you can’t go wrong if you don’t want to deal with the steps. The huge market is on the weekend to really get that experience but every day there is something going on outside that door. Where I live I just don’t get that sort of experience. I have to drive to get any type of food. Enjoy 😊 !

[@sarah-phillips]

Absolutely gorgeous towns and that food looked incredible. Not the point of the video but the two of you together are just beautiful. Right down to stealing each other's food.

[@laboucher]

I love Antibes! I went last summer and took a day trip to Éze, which is a town just a short train ride east from Antibes. There is a strenuous hike up what is called Chemin de Nietzsche and at the top is a staggeringly beautiful medieval village and views of the Mediterranean sea. I was able to hike up and take the bus down. I would love to revisit this place and am torn because this summer I want to explore Marseille! The Côte Azur is a treasure!

[@triplet3023]

I was lucky enough to spend about four hours in Saint Paul De Vance and I fell deeply in love with the village. That was a year ago and I still get goose bumps thinking of the village and its quirky streets, sidewalks, shops with incredible art, sculptures, everything. I am not giving up on my dream to go back and visit again. ❤

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

It is very charming...

[@renel2788]

A few months ago, I asked you to do a video on the French Riviera I am completely overjoyed that you've done this! Thank you so very much !!! Even the food there made Antoine sing with his fingers !

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Thanks for the idea!

[@missemarie1]

I'm curious about how you film in restaurants without disturbing other guests? We had a bad experience at a Michelin star restaurant in London, the table next to us pulled out light rings and cameras to document their meal and after being asked multiple times to stop using their lighting and flash, thankfully they were told to stop, or leave. Are you filming discretely on your phone? or do the restaurants allow this for publicity? I love your content, I'm just genuinely curious.

[@cynthiarandall5707]

Merveillieux! I would add the historic La Colombe d’Or restaurant in St. Paul de Vence - a must with its art collection.

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Okay! Next time ♡

[@Rod-dg7fy]

Love your channel. My wife and I are retired and have been here for 12 years. Love the Côte d’Azur

[@alejandrorodriguez4189]

What wonderful video to start this beautiful weekend, thank you 🙏

[@francois-renemoudat7470]

Superb videos of an endearing couple who make you want to follow them. What if you knew what a beautiful country France is? Each region has its cultural heritage, both historical and culinary. This is why France is the most visited country in the world.

[@WavyCurlyGina]

Gorgeous. France is so beautiful ❤

[@ecaldwell9]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE HIS REACTIONS TO THE FOOD - when he really likes it. The wife tries to immolate him. Sorry Colleen, it’s NOT THE SAME. Resteraunt once you get that “drop the fork; eyes & roll back” response. That is LesFrenchies SIGNATURE OF APPROVAL.

[@blackyulip]

What a lovely relaxed vibe this had. Thank you for the virtual holiday.

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Thanks for watching!

[@amymalina5073]

That was so interesting. Would love to go to those villages. I recently went to Marsailles and loved that too. I might have already commented about this on one of your videos but Rouen is an amazing day trip from Paris. Just under 2 hours by train. The fabulous cathedral, a wonderful museum, on the Seine, and the wonderful restaurant, on the square where Joan of arc, was unfortunately burned at the stake, where Julia Child decided to become a chef. Our lunch there was extraordinary. They make it easy to order what Julia had or something else. Our meal there was one of our best we had in France. The restaurant is also the oldest auberge in all of France. Amazing history in Rouen.

[@rolltidemsu]

I think this is your best video yet! Love this one! I crack up at how Antoinne reacts to his first bite of food. love, love, love!!!

[@barbarasanderson8776]

Beautiful Antibes. We have spent many holiday visiting Antibes. Lots of memories for us. Thank you for a lovely video again from you two.

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Excellent place to make memories ♡

[@Patriot1789]

Thanks so much for these vlogs. I really hate to travel. My neurotic anxiety (a leftover from travel with my parents) is more than the pleasure I get when I go someplace. This is travel the painless way.

[@brendaanderson292]

Thank you for sharing February in Paris. The Valentines Day celebrations- the beautiful flowers, the delicious chocolate, and your lovely evening out together. I remember seeing the mimosa flower when we lived in Rome. The theatre where you attended the musical was incredible. When I lived in Nova Scotia I belonged to a community theatre group as the volunteer publicity director. “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Form” was one of most hilarious musicals we ever produced. Once again, loved your little song at the end. It was a delightful Bonus! Have a lovely week. 💕💕💕🇨🇦

[@SkipMDMan]

My first trip to Europe on my own was in 1973. I took along a guidebook called "Europe on $5 A Day" and it was amazing. It pointed me out to a small family owned hotel in Nice. It was the last week of April, warm weather and the hotel was still on winter rates. It had its own bathroom, kitchenette with all the necessary items to cook. I stayed there for the week and it was so nice.

[@alisonbowen2547]

Do you recall the name of the hotel? It sounds lovely and just what I need for my stay there.

[@SkipMDMan]

@@alisonbowen2547 It's probably long gone by now, it's been 50 years since I was there. If I ever come by my box of postcards and pamphlets I'll find the brochure I got from the hotel.

Very timely video! I have been living in Nice since December, but have decided a smaller coastal town better fits my personality. I have been to Menton, Villefranche, Juan les Pins and Cannes. Antibes is next on my list for a visit. Thank you for the preview! Lovely city, excited to go.

It's a charming day trip

[@maobfh]

My mother LOVED to visit graveyards. She carried paper and did stone rubbings. I don’t understand, but it wasn’t important that I understood. It gave her pleasure. It made me uncomfortable for her to stand on the grave to copy the stone. She was a polyglot, a romantic, who never had the opportunity to leave North America. Things you regret as you age. I would have liked to have taken her to Paris, Rome, Barcelona. Lovely video that I am dragging down. My apologies! Thank you for such a pensively charming scene!

There are so many graveyards from centuries gone by...

The French Riviera has changed so much in the past few decades. I was there 30 years ago during the summer season and it was lovely. Yes, there was serious money, but it wasn’t obscene. It’s still wonderful, but I don’t recognize St Tropez any more.
