PS : the « french riviera » (côte d’Azur in french) is the easternmost part of the french mediterranean coast only, from about Hyères to the Italian border. Collioure has nothing to do with the french riviera
Your travel-Vlogs are really amazing! If you ever come back to France and especially the Pyrenees-Region I would recommend the town of Lescun. It’s very beautiful, one of my favourites valleys in the Pyrenees and still easily accessible. There are nice hosts there and lot of hiking possibilities_ certainly less tourists ;) As for the western Pyrenees and Biarritz-region, I would recommend the bigger basque town of Bayonne and the smaller ones of Espelette, Ainhoa, Sare (more tourists, but easily accessible by bus from Bayonne or Biarritz) and Guéthary on the Atlantic-coast. Another suggestion of the Aquitaine Atlanticcoast: the beaches are really amazing there, if you can take a ferry from Aracachon to Cap Ferret, enjoy the sunset there. Or take the bus from Bordeaux to Le Porge or Lacanaux. The beach is giant (200 km of beach until Spain) so if at one place there to many tourists, just walk a few 100 meters and there will be no one at the beach. The waves and the sunset are usually_in my opinion_the most beautiful in France. As for the cities close to the Atlantic, La Rochelle and Bordeaux are gorgeous. The towns of Molière in the dordogne region or Cordes-sur-ciel (south of the dordogne region are really beautiful. If you are enjoying lonely and beautiful landscapes, I would also suggest the more plateaux or Causses de méjean and Gorges du Tarn-areas. ;) these are dry plateaux and in between you finde beautiful valleys with small villages :) The Cézalier-region is a bit more northern (close to the cantal-area) and has some Scotlland-Mongolia-vibe to. :)
And kind of in the same area of Coullioure, you will find, more into the Pyrenees, the beautiful and cute town of Castelnou. North of Coullioure and Perpignan, I recommend Tautavel. It’s an interesting city because out 1. An important prehistoric area where some of the first remnants of Humans were found in Europe, 2. Because it’s also a somewhat cute town and 3 the nature is also very beautifull, especially the surrounding hills and the small gorges du gouleyrous. It’s a good combi :) Closer to Montpelier (also beautiful city) you can find the towns of Minerve and Saint-Guilheme-le-desert. Very beautiful, but not as calm as for instance the above mentioned towns of Molière or St-Avis-Sénieur-towns in the Dordogne-region.
More east wards, north of Nimes, I recommend the very beautiful Ardèche-region. Especially the gorges de l’Ardèche and beautiful very calm and small towns like Montclus or Balazuc. Saint-Montan and Largentière are also enjoyable.
Wow! Thanks for all the amazing suggestions! You’re making us want to go back to France so badly! We’ll definitely keep note of these for our next trip there 😁
Hi there! I'm not 100% sure but I believe it was a bar called La Voile. If not, it was definitely in that area. Hope you enjoy your time in Collioure! :)

Forgot to mention St-Avis-Sénieur (close to calm Molière) and Issiegeac in Dorodogne… but there are so many beautiful towns in the Dorodogne
-region…
