There’s nothing sweeter than being able to afford the luxury of traveling to different locations as enchanting and beautiful as this
You are right my friend, traveling is very adventurous and relaxing at the same time but also quite expensive, if not for the help of my financial advisor Mr. Larry Kent Nick I don’t think I would have been able to finance most of my relaxing vacations
That’s the same guy, I have been investing with him for the past 2 years and I must confess that has been the best financial decision I have made
I like the sound of this guy, I am also a travel enthusiast but sadly I don’t have the financial power to live my dreams of and adventurous life, if it’s possible I would also like to do business with this guy, what is the best way I can use to reach out to him

Everywhere in France is beautiful
Merci! 😀
*was* beautiful.

dietmar wenzel LOL n'importe quoi

En tant que Français, je ne partage pas votre opinion.
Mais le processus est irréversible.
Marseilles is pretty dangerous.
All of southern France is stunning....one jewel not mentioned is Cassis
I love France. Many of these towns and environments just ooze character. Love the west coast, myself.
@@JoachimVHW Indeed. Granville is a favourite.
Pont du Gard over Nîmes… amazing !!
I love Cassis! It’s already crowded though, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 😀
And visit Nîmes and Montpellier
Uzès as well
France is a really beautiful country. I was impressed by the beauty of their cities.
As a French i agree 100%
The area of Nice, Beaulieu Sur Mer and Monaco is great for the kids. I look forward to exploring a bit further west.
The timming for this video couldn't be more perfect... time to plan a trip to the South of France
How was it
I've had the pleasure of visiting Nice, Cannes and Monte Carlo.
I was really surprised when I visited Avignon. People were so friendly, the city is so historic, it's big enough that you have amenities but not crowded like Paris or Marseilles. You can make it as a base as well and visit other towns outside. Nîmes isn't far and has some of the best Roman architecture that's still intact and still in use, Aigues-Mortes is also a Medieval walled city and the surrounding Camarague is a very interesting geographical area with sand dunes, salt flats and wild white horses, then also got to see the town of Gorde where there's a historic Abbey of Sénaque nearby that's famous for it's lavender, and finally I got to visit the Sentiers des Ochres near the town of Rousillon where they used to make Ochre ink from the rocks in the area which is a natural reddish brown colour.
When you find yourself in Nice, Vieux-Nice, the oldest part of the city, is great to walk around and explore and has a famous ice cream shop called Pinocchio, you can climb up the the Colline du Château and have the best view of the city, go to the Matisse Museum and see the artist's home and houses some incredible Impressionist art, and you can take a cheap train ride over to Monaco and make it a day trip. There's also the town of St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat where you can stroll on the trail that goes around the peninsula and check out the cafés in town.
Provence has got to be my fav region of France. Lots to see that caters for different types of people. You can go for history(Roman buildings, Medieval walled cities, sleepy villages, etc), you can go for luxe like Cannes and Saint-Tropez, you can enjoy a city life like Marseilles, Montpellier, Nice, etc, you can go hiking and enjoy nature, you can go wine tasting, buy lavender oil and try lavender liquour, and there's also a town that specialises in perfumes, Grasse, which supplies many luxury brands, and finally go to the same spots that many famous painters stayed and were inspired by the beautiful landscape(Van Goug, Picasso, Gauguin, Matisse). Def gonna head back the next time i'm in France.
I loved all your comments and suggestions. I was in the south of France in May 2022, and saw some of the cities that you mentioned. Yes, they are all beautiful, historic, welcoming and alive with culture. I spent about a 10 days in several places, Avignon and Nice were my favorite cities. I was with a tour company, and it was nice, but next time I go, I’ll travel with my own itinerary. Did you travel alone or with a group? What are some tips if I plan my own itinerary?
Thanks for the comment, I enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for including Marseille Ⓜ️, its so nice and its the first city i went in Europe
Fernando Arroyo Yess I love Marseille to! I went to it to
Checkup all the Unesco World Heritage list for this area. Only Carcassonne and Avignon are from this list.
Checkup also for: Episcopal city of Albi, Arles (Roman and Romanesque Monuments + Camargue and Parc Ornithologique du Pont de Gau), Pont du Gard (Roman Aqueduct), Saint-Emilion, Lion.
I am french and i love my country and Marseille , m'y city
Ah, mon frère !

Beautiful, I'd love to visit France
Stunning views!! Thank you 😊
Avignon is beautiful. I was impressed by city its
I live in Avignon and yes it is really beautiful, i am in love with my City
Avignon and Aix were the best inland areas of Provence I've seen. Absolutely breathtaking.
Awesome video. Such a beautiful area
Beautiful!
It's only about the south east. You don't talk about bordeau, toulouse
Carcassonne is in the Southwest closer to Spain. Not sure why they put it on a list about the French Riviera.
nan mais quand meme, les touristes ne vont pas autant a toulouse qu'a nice ou cannes ou st trop ou quoi faut pas abuser
Best region ever! Really wanna live there
Nice video! Beautiful city 😍
France is my favourite country
I have been visited most part of the France
Oh great from Where you are?
Gandun Merci
I'm torn between France and Brazil. I love them both so much. Especially the French Riviera and all the beaches of Rio de Janeiro.
France is the most beautiful country in the world
Visit Collioure during summer 😍
Hi from france ! Avignon is my city
Avignon 😍
You are always amazingggggggggg
We shot this romantic song video in the south of FRANCE. It was a beautiful experience!!
Regardez ce videoclip tourne a AVIGNON et Lacoste et Nice et Eze!!
FEMME D'AUTREFOIS...tres romantique! @
Yes Ez🇫🇷❤
I'm going to Nice and Avignon in September of 2024. Also taking a side trip to Province. Looking forward.
Eze should have been on the list
how amazing
as a londoner i found AVIGNON a tourist mecca. stayed there after my visit to the chateau d'if
You forgot ARLES in Provence.!!! So beautiful... gorgeous...
Nice one there by you
Cassis??
Aix en Provence ! merci
Nice video
Arles, Collioure, Biarritz, the vineyards of Bordeaux,...
Think u.
The most beautiful corner of France is Dordogne/Lot area, which is in the south. The nicest cities of the south are Nice and Nimes. Carcassonne and Eze are lovely to visit.
Loved my time in Nice and Eze
Great selelection! My favorite village Moustiers sainte Marie north of les gorges du Verdon.
What is the best month to enjoy the lavender fields?
Why is Provence (a region) listed separately from several of its towns and cities including Marseille and Avignon?
provence includes 4 departements: vaucluse, les alpes de haute provence, le var , les bouches du rhones with prefectures avignon, dignes les bains, toulon and marseille
Very nice video thanks
I would had Cap Ferat or Fez over Porquerolles. They are small, less touristy and feel more like home with charming neighborhoods.
where are bordeaux and toulouse ? these are two of the most beautiful french cities
Hush, FFS! Let the 'Muricans stick to Paris and the Côte d'Azur.
The less they know about the rest of France the better.
A question.
I work in the services and tourism sector.
What city is best to live and work? Toulouse or Bordeaux?
Okay, sorry seyber tooth I'm one of your dreaded Muricans, but I'm currently living/studying in France (I've lived in France 3 years) and I don't understand the whole brouhaha about Bordeaux. I mean it's like....all right....but....nothing super special. I prefer Tours if we're going for mid-sized cities that are sorta cool. The only advantage Bordeaux has is that its train station connects to a lot of good stuff haha. But the city itself, meh. It's like you hear people gushing about Bordeaux all the time...I've visited there about three times now (it's a cheap train ride from where I am) and I don't get it. It's not bad, it's just not really all that amazing either.
blackngold cuttlefish okay, maybe you think I’m saying that because I’m from bordeaux, but it’s a very beautiful city, with its new quays, its place de la bourse, place des quinconces, miroir d’eau, grand theatre (grand theater) rue ste catherine (saint-catherine st), jardin public (public garden), place pey-berland, saint-andré cathedral, pont de pierre (stone bridge), etc.
in short, I it’s really pleasant to have a walk on a sunny afternoon in bordeaux, have a drink in a small place as camille julian place or parlement place, and to enjoy this beautiful city
@@bacchus3651 It's funny, I literally just got back from spending a night in Bordeaux with a friend. Yeah I mean...my goal isn't to bash it...it just seems to have a very high reputation so I guess I was expecting a bit...more? But you're right that it is very pleasant, including the park (until a random stranger began trying to get my number/hit on me the instant I sat on a bench by myself...but that sort of happens no matter where I am in France, considering I'm alone 99% of the time lol). Also in general it feels safe, which is nice. And there is a lot of preserved older architecture (not destroyed in WWII etc)
It is a typically Parisian slant to refer to southeastern France only when speaking of the south. Similarly "la côte" usually means the Riviera - "côte d'azur" in French. Southwestern France gets left out. Yet places like the Ile de Ré and the Bassin d'Arcachon, not to mention the Basque country are easily as trendy as any on the RIviera. Also, Bordeaux and Toulouse are two stunningly beautiful cities
C'est vrai
Shhh. Don't give away the best places XD.
It would have been nice if they at least gave an honorable mention to the Languedoc region containing the Château de Montségur for all of those Cathars/Knights Templar/Holy Grail/Ark of the Covenant/Dan Brown conspiracy enthusiasts. And, to go even further off the beaten path, why not mention the Château de Lacoste in Vaucluse for those wonderful weirdos dying to make a pilgrimage to the unholy home of the magnificent Marquis de Sade!
Too beautiful! Is this real life?
I can only dream
I would have included Port Grimaud 😊
France is one of most beautiful country in the world and France, England d Spain are the most beautiful countries in the world &££££&&&best destination for travelers.
South France is mainly Spanish mix Italians i like very much dijon colmar bratange. Wherever there's seaside ports there's trouble
It's actually Occitan, so pretty much nothing to do with Spain or Italy
you only mention the tourist places
Cain's and Nice best city's in South of France it's my openoin so thank again Mojo travels,
All very nice. Even Nice. lol.
My second destination south France moneco first Dublin north London
Nimes to Brioude D9 D31 mountain roads !
La Provence vous offre la beauté. La Côte d'Azur vous présente la note….
lol. Provence #1 in south of France.... It's like saying USA is my favorite place in North America.
😅😅
Actually Provence is a small part of the south of France. Cote d'azur and Nice city are not in for exemple
A lot of the places she mentioned before #1 were in Provence. So, this video doesn't make any sense.
Only Marseille, Avignon and porquerolles, which is at the edge, are in Provence. Provence is actually not an official region. Unofficial borders are Camargue on the West and Toulon on the east
@@Elrs171 I'm actually reading a book in French on Provence presently and it includes Nimes on the west all the way to Menton on the east. La Cote d'Azur is actually in Provence. I guess the most important part of Provence would be north of Marsailles. Les Alps de Provence are actually north of Cannes and San Raphael. I plan to live in Nimes for 2 years.
Marseille 😍⚪Ⓜ️
I was meant to visit my French family in April a town called Montélimar which is quite close to Avignon. But we didn't go because of coronavirus☹️😷.
I am from there 😉
This is a messy video. You can't list cities and then give the first place to a region. While there is so much to enjoy in the south of France, Avignon is historically the most important - Western Europe was ruled - more or less - from Avignon when the popes reside there for nearly 100 years. Also today, the Avignon Theater Summer Festival is the most important in continental Europe - and the model for the festival in Edinburgh ....
TOTUL ESTE MIC SI PUSTIU FARA TINE IUBI
What? Where is Olonzac in this list. Queen of the Minervois for a friendly welcoming experience.
saint tropez is really nice
Being from Nice. I like this part a little more , but i would say Antibes is the best place to stay as a more cozy ; easy to get around with sandy beach destination… i feel its the more well rounded with cap antibes,old town;juan les pins and train/bus/airport access….. but after yea , nice , monaco , villefranche, eze, cassis, cannes, st paul de vence, esterelles, st tropez, calanques etc etc all the back country is very underrated but amazing valle des merveilles is stunning even in summer… i wouldnt go to marseille city - around is better , marseille except from port is sadly meh…
No Montpellier, Perpignan or Collioure?!
Montpellier should have been in this list.
No this is call north !
Why no Perpignan
psssst...lasst den overtourism an der Cote Azur und seid glücklich und froh über das wundervolle und nicht so bekannte Roussillon. Es wäre grausam, wenn so liebliche Landstriche wie die Cerdagne, oder das Katharerland um Cucugnan genauso überbevölkert würden.
How can Eze France not be on this list.
Can I visit the places if I don’t drive? Thanks really like to go by myself without driving
Most of thoses places are connected by train, and have extensive public transportation. That being said, if you're after the "riviera" experience, pick a city and stay there. They all more or less offer the same things. Nice and Marseille, I'd say, feel like actual cities and not just tourist traps, which makes them slightly less expensive (relatively speaking). I don't like the riviera myself (lots of rich aholes that go there for the "luxury experience" and abuse staff). But I'd highly recommend Avignon and Carcassone from this list. Porquerolles is a good spot if you like going out at sea. A bit further in-land, in the South-west, smaller in scope, Cahors is a gem. Saint Cirq Lapopie, right next to Cahors, is also a place to visit if you love the peace and quiet with history, it's a small village beloved by the French (this place, however, doesn't have a tarin station. The best would be to rent a car in Cahors if need be).
@@k.v.7681 thank you so much
What about Nîmes?
Madrıd
Kudos to the presenters ability to pronounce these French locations.
She's French Canadian
Third destination riga new Orleans
Ez, Nimes, Pont du guard
Bonne vidéo mais attention à ne pas confondre le Lubéron et la Provence
Where is St Raphael??????!!!
I never know mojo travels exist
4:10
And you can't possibly ignore Arles or Les Baux de Provence...
Portuguese pure food holy brahmın
The most beautiful place in the Riviera is St Jean Cap Ferrat.
what about Nimes
There are many nice places without the sea in the south of France
Which one has the best internet so I know where to go
You forgot La Rochelle, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Biarritz, St. Jean De Luz, really beautiful and actually better than Nice, Marseille etc.
Mont la jolie
where is Oraison my God the most beautiful place on Earth.
this is beautiful but impossible to see unless you are there for a month. regret booking 1 week realizing i can't see it all.
what's the music track name ? i like it
J'ai visité ( Monaco+ nice + Can + cassis + Marseille + Montpellier + Nîmes + Paris ) et j'habite à ( Lille) le Nord pas de calais ⛄🌦️🌨️⛈️☔😂😂
East
Eze Village？
Oh ok it's a south east top 10 (except for carcassone that's seems lost in that top 10)
A
I was expecting Aigues-Mortes in number one
💎
Carcasonne is better imo, but I liked Aigues-Mortes. I remember swinging by Sainte-Maries-de-la-mer and explored the Camarague
absurdly biased towards the cote d azur and she doesnt think marseille is a large city ? LMAO
It only has just over 1 million people. That's not a large city.
@@000snow000 It's the second most inhabited city in the country, right behind Paris... It very much is a large city.
You forgot Bordeaux, Toulouse and Saint-Jean-de-Luz
According to some comments there should be even better places to see. What can be more picturesque???
Eze village is simply stunning
Gorges du Verdon
Eze village
Oh dear, find yourself a french friend that will make you travel France bcse you're not prepared
Yah bhi achcha hai lekin Hamare Bihar sabse Achcha hai❤❤
