France, a country in Western Europe, encompasses medieval cities, alpine villages, and Mediterranean beaches.
Paris, its capital, is famed for its fashion houses, classical art museums including the Louvre, and monuments like the Eiffel Tower.
The country is also renowned for its wines and sophisticated cuisine. Lascaux’s ancient cave drawings, Lyon’s Roman theater, and the vast Palace of Versailles attest to its rich history.

Great list, some cities may be missing but I feel your list is really good. The best thing is putting Montpellier in number one. Lovely booming and comfortable city, a city with a vibe better than all the other cities for sure and it will change even more, for the better. 🌟

Great video. Lived in Avignon last year and loved it. So glad you included it. Aix-en-Provence should be on the list too

[@LaChicaconSuerte-1111]

I have been to Avignon a few times and really liked it. How was it to live there? What made you love living there? Which would you prefer to live in, Avignon or Aix en Provence? What do you think of Montpellier?

[@neilhupping9106]

@@LaChicaconSuerte-1111 Avignon is a small city and very charming. People are friend and down to earth. Quiet at night too. train station there is super convenient as you’re in Paris or Lyon or the Mediterranean really quick. I love the Provence region Actually Aix is a nicer and slightly snobbier city. Not like super snob. Just that the people have more money. It’s a beautiful city. Nothing to see tourist wise but definitely a great place to live Montpellier is great too. Near the ocean and lots of students. I mean lots. You can’t go wrong with all 3. I’d choose Montpellier out of the 3 personally

[@LaChicaconSuerte-1111]

@@neilhupping9106 Thank you so much for these insights. I will be going to Montpellier in June for the first time to get a sense of the place. Aix looks very pretty and elegant in the videos. Have you been to the beaches near to Montpellier. I wonder how easy/difficult it is to go to Cote dÁzur and other places from Montpellier by train?

[@LaChicaconSuerte-1111]

@@neilhupping9106 I lived in Lyon for a year once upon a time a very long time ago. I really liked it as a city, but I found it very hard to get to know people and I did not find it to be friendly. Also, too far from the sea for me and it was not very clean (issue of people not cleaning up after dogs) and a lot of smoking (and spitting) everywhere. However, the food was amazing and the city has lots of really nice events, plus the two rivers and Fourviere.

Love your videos....Please make video on bangladesh its a request

[@chucku00]

This video doesn't fit with the title : all the places named here are better for tourism than to live in (as in settling): the cost of life (mainly due to very high housing prices compared to many other smaller an lesser known places in France, 1 to 3 to 1 to 10 ratio). Lots of jobs? Not so much. Affordable? Definitely not.

I have to travel though France twice a year and found the food to be very poor and very expensive, we were racially abused by a waiter for not speaking perfect French !!!

[@tsun9845]

During my visit to France food in restaurants was bad and expensive, French are not friendly if you don't speak perfect language.

[@actyllicie7356]

@@tsun9845 alright it depends where you went and who you met. French ppl aren’t all rude about their language

[@kittyblossom7342]

I agree. West European food is generally very bad.

[@chucku00]

@@kittyblossom7342 Well, if you're looking for your usual food habits, you will obviously be disappointed. Especially in touristic places. Advice to avoid any shady restaurant in the world : if the menu offers a plethora of choices, don't go in it. And always ask the local people for the best places. No YT video will be more precise about it than the people who are living in the place you're visiting

[@lupinbrabablebix9840]

It used to be Paris that was famous for it’s surly waiters . It’s all part of Frances appeal , you haven’t really experienced france unless you’ve been subject to one of these bruts, he’s only slinging hash ffs he ain’t anyone , call him garçon and don’t leave a tip fuckem Dont upset him before you get your food though or you will be eating his spit
