LIFE IN FRANCE 🇫🇷 Aix en Provence, Marseille & French Markets

[@KimberlieOtt]

Another beautiful video! Thank you for the moments that are so real, even though I am a world away from where you are! France feels like home, and I have never been!

[@SamFournier]

Oh, thank you Kimberlie. I hope you’ll be able to visit and experience life in France. I’m glad my videos can take you on a virtual escape in the meantime☺️

[@horst-u.rieger6167]

Your videos are fabulous: they capture the beauty, the atmosphere and the mood of the sites shown perfectly 😍 Thanks a lot 🙋‍♂️

[@SamFournier]

Thank you so much! Glad to have you here☺️

[@Tank2thestage]

Lovely video,dear Sam! The quiet morning to yourself,the spring coming vibes soon,the home spray info( I am looking forward to see and know more about it ,pls). Hope you will manage well with the allergy and won't be in discomfort. So cute Paul playing and singing 😃! Marseille is a fantastic city. Just like no other. I love it. Intriguing place,different and unique. Fantastic architecture and history and mix of everything. The nature and views are incredible. Night views of Marseille are stunning also. The problems,the dangerous areas and the dirt are there, yes. It's not from yesterday. And there is a ongoing battle between Aixois and Marseillaises since years,as far as I know. Haha,silly. The two are so different and beautiful in their own ways. For the camera I agree that it's not good to flash out. But so it's same for an expensive phone. And btw not only in Marseille, but in other cities in France with better reputation. However ,I am happy for you that you went there and met your friend. Go again in better weather with sunshine and no wind. Marseille have some awesome places indeed. Don't let people talk put you down and away from visiting again. To me it's a mesmerizing place. The dynamic,diversity,nature,mix of people,views,food,history,etc....wow. Just stay away of the well-known bad areas. Thanks for the sweet video and I wish you more sunny days very soon! 🤗

[@SamFournier]

I definitely will be making more visits to Marseille since I have a friend there and we’ll see if my views change.☺️ I do really enjoy being by the sea and there is so much to discover there.

[@smiley9987]

@@SamFournier I think you will gradually discover it more and more. The feeling is a bit chaotic and overwhelming in the beginning,after staying in much smaller town like Aix,which is beautiful,cozy,charming elegant,schick. But then, Marseille is more dynamic and colorful in terms of diffetent senses and variety. Being near the sea, yes I agree. Anyway,it was refteshing to me that you went there. And I hope whenever you feel comfortable,will go again and share whatever new you discover. Have a great day in stunning Aix,Sam 🤗

I was so engrossed while watching the video that I was caught off guard when the "Thanks For Watching" picture popped up and I was like, "Already?" Total bummer. You've become such a favorite of mine, that you're one of a handful of subscriptions that I actually bother to have notifications on for. Your uploads are often a reprieve in my busy life of work and college as they often remind me to slow down and breathe. Beautiful cinematography as always, Sam.

[@SamFournier]

Joshua, I feel so honored that I get to be a part of your week where we can spend that time together to just be. I didn’t know that my channel would turn into a channel of relaxation but I guess me being on this journey of slowing down it’s something I wanted to share with others. So much gratitude to France for teaching me this beautiful lesson. I’m grateful that I have a community here to share it with and comments like yours fill my heart with joy. Thank you for your support and for always leaving a comment, I appreciate you🫶🏽 Wishing you a beautiful rest of your week.

[@DeanRamser]

Bonjour! Another beautiful video! Thank you! We are looking forward to our visit there in the fall. Merci! Dean & Cindy

[@SamFournier]

Hi Dean and Cindy 👋🏽 Fall will be here in no time and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it so much☺️

[@rvaprep]

A very nice relaxing video. You have a nice demeanor. I live in Miami, Florida and we also get Saharan dust on occasion. Take care, Ralph Rocchiccioli

[@SamFournier]

Thank you Ralph ☺️

A beautiful time capsule of your week as always. Great work ! 🤍

[@SamFournier]

Thanks my love💕 My number one supporter

[@willnelson3362]

Beautiful video, especially the morning in Aix. Personally, I watch it sped up cuz we're all so busy, busy, busy, but I really liked your edits (alternating selfie narration and ambiance/atmosphere) and pacing. Such a positive, tranquil, beautiful mood, but clearly realistic -- and therefore attainable -- at the same time.

[@SamFournier]

Thank you Will, I’m grateful for your support in watching my videos. I hope you’re able to slow down and take some time for yourself- you deserve it but I know it’s not always doable. Have a lovely rest of your week.

[@willnelson3362]

@@SamFournier And I'm genuinely grateful you make such lovely videos! They remind me of a beautiful part of the world, in which I'd like to spend much more time one day. But just for the record, I think anyone who knows me well would fall over laughing at the thought that I don't take time for myself! Old habits of "time efficiency" are hard to break, even when they're unnecessary and even counter-productive. Now that I think about it, maybe I'll re-watch your video at normal speed! You have a good rest of your week too. Profitez du printemps!

I use to work at 6am... so would leave by 530am. Love early AMs

[@SamFournier]

Wow, that is an early morning! I’m really trying to continue to rise early. It’s so peaceful.

[@michaelrichards669]

@@SamFournier yes.. worked early at boat docks. Fishermen lined up to get Fuel by 6am.

[@raulespinoza9987]

What a beautiful day it was!! Was hoping to see more of Marseille just looking at those old buildings!! You look and sound amazing Sam!!!!

[@SamFournier]

I know, I’m sorry. I didn’t explore too much but hopefully I’ll be able to go with Paul and explore more and then we can bring the camera😀

[@raulespinoza9987]

@@SamFournier I was going to ask you to see if you could do some vlogs showing the typical food parisians eat on a daily basis and when they go out. What times they eat and how often a day. I'm always curious about other cultures gastronomy and the different times they eat. I know they must have a totally different eating schedule than the USA. Also wondering what is their main foods they eat at home and when they go out to eat. If you get a chance i would love to see one!!

[@samaguirre6461]

I went to Edward Scissors hands memories with the music at the church..excuse my adhd brain lol..but I was pulled back to the beautiful glass art ..the sculptures...What the dangerous? Nothing on Highland pre gentrification!!

Bonjour Sam! We are visiting Aix from Australia and I saw you today at the markets! I wanted to say hello and thank you for your lovely video inspiration for our visit but you were busy and I didn’t want to interrupt. It is such a lovely day today!

[@SamFournier]

Oh my goodness, I wish you would’ve said hello👋🏽 I was doing a TikTok live in the center today. I hope you enjoyed today, it really was a lovely day and great atmosphere. Enjoy your time in Provence.

A very nice video!!! I will travel to Aix in the end of April. Is it very cold over there? Could you suggest some cheap restaurant to eat?

[@SamFournier]

Hi there! This week has been pretty warm. Today it’s 83 degrees 🥵

[@joseroberto-vd9gh]

@@SamFournier very hot 🥵. Thank you!

[@mariamartin3204]

We just got home from a week in Avignon and Cassis. It was cold and very windy! Did we just happen to be there during a cold spell?

[@SamFournier]

@@mariamartin3204 it has been so windy lately and we are getting more rain this week and then it looks like the warmer weather and sunshine is returning next week.

[@soc.8199]

What is the background music and where is this market ,thanks?

[@SamFournier]

The markets take place in Place a Richelme, Place de l’hôtel de Ville, Place des Prêcheurs and Cours Mirabeau. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you the name of the music as I don’t have it saved. I use different music for each video using Epidemic Sound.
