Going to Market in Nîmes

Bonjour! It’s Day 22 of my 100-day trip to Europe, and I’m in Provence, France. Each city here has a great market hall, and Les Halles de Nîmes has a special extra touch: The merchants' names and photos are hanging from the ceiling. In this clip, with my good local guide Silvie, I share a special budget tip: Eat at the diners in the markets - the quality is great, prices are amazing, and you might even meet a politician trying to win your vote.
The south of France is so comfortable in May (no crowds, great weather). Expensive? $100 hotel doubles, $10 lunches, and lots of free fun if you know how to travel. Tips? You’ll find about 600 pages of them in the Rick Steves guidebook for this corner of Europe: store.rickstev....

Although many were 📷 shy, you can feel the positivism of Mr. Steves. Thank you for the video.

Nîmes is not actually in Provence. It's a good 30km to the west in the Gard department of the Occitanie region.

Umm. From my understanding, quite a few French people don't like to be on camera without being asked first. Those gents having some wine definitely were a bit ruffled.

[@davidcfrogley]

Those gendarmes didn't look to happy to be filmed. :)

He’s a tourist being a tourist, looking like a tourist. No more a bother to the people there then a tourist walking slow with their eyes to the sky looking at the tall buildings in Manhattan. Sure it annoys, but it is just life. Think that you live somewhere nice or interesting enough that people want to come visit where you live and spend their hard earned money there. I don’t say be an annoying tourist on purpose, but relax and don’t stress being one either. Keepin on travelin

No, he's in Nîmes

[@zachjurkovich3547]

Rick doesn't seem to worry about getting in people's business and being a nosey American tourist. Nothing wrong with that of course, but I'm sure he's been cussed out before...
