No one does it like Rick Steve's, NO ONE!!!
You got that right
No matter what, vloggers nowadays will never surpass the way Rick Steves conveys both information and entertainment. I have yet to find a travel channel on youtube better than Rick.
He provides history, great visuals, and great tips all around.
I agree👍🏼 He's the best!
Steves' spins a lot of bravo sierra...go there and see it for yourself. Travel is not a kitten romp...I know I have traveled a lot.
Yes, but the playing field is becoming more equal with a simple TH-cam vid that just about anyone can do. 🙃
I have planned, reserved and tripped around Europe a few times but I wouldn't book a flight without first buying a Rick Steves travel guide.
I totally agree!
Rick Steves is a national treasure. I can watch this guy all day.
I grew up on the côte d'azur. Lived there about 8 years. I never really noticed the beauty of the area, as I was too busy with my daily life. Now I'm 16, and live in a major city, and seeing this video made me cry.
Luc Groshens I know how you feel
You'll be back there sometime soon x
A bit of good memories, a bit of nostalgia and a bit of home sickness?
It's awesome that at 16yo you are thinking about this. Most 16yo are still too busy to notice. Bless you! I hope you get to return soon! 💚💜💙💯
You can always move back :-)
Shame on you im joking
Dont worry, you didnt miss much.
I will be there in just a few weeks! I’m so excited!
Hi @jeanniem, if you need a day tour to the beautiful médiéval villages in the countryside of the FrenchRiviera I recommend you a local tour guide @ :
PANORAMIC RIVIERA TOURS
The Mediterranean region is probably as close to heaven on earth you can get! Florida, California, and so many other places try their hardest to imitate it.
Exactly.
"They change with the pageantry of an important nation"
Bro threw shade at the Monaco royals with such class💀
He is such nice man...so informative...I visited a lot of places he promoted...and EVERYTHING was true...THANK YOU
I ❤ France and Italy. Fantastic scenery, well maintained, colourful and clean. Thoroughly enjoyed watching and dreaming from my small flat in the UK. 😊
France and especially Italy have about 1200-1500 years more of "civilization time" compare to UK, plus the land and the climate... UK have its unique charm and great places to visit too.
@@HgHg-yp6ft no
@@HgHg-yp6ft The UK is also beautiful!
Gibraltar is UK, therefore you have similar scenery. There you go m8
Visited South of France in March, from Monaco to St. Tropez. It's breathtaking...definitely will go back again!
Tengo pensado llegar a Francia Costa Azul proximo Marzo 01 . que lugares me recomiendas?
St tropez is the ancient greek colony of athenopolis
was the view and weather alright in march
wow
Please visit Cassis! "Qu'a vist Paris e noun Cassis a ren vist" (Frédéric Mistral).
These episodes are so pleasant. They are perfect for any time of the day!
This guy is a lucky men seeing every great city in Europe.
Rode my bicycle from Marseille to Rome, the little hidden beaches between Toulon and the Italian border were incredible!
How many miles
How long does that take??
@@Jack-dp4lg It was exactly 1000 km
@@andreas_adventures We did it in 13 days of riding and 2 days off.
By God you must have some amazing photographs, what a trip, congratulations!!!!! 😎👍
I love the French Riviera, and the Italian Riviera. I've been all over Italy, and all over the French Riviera in the Navy in 88 and in 90 and loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️
France is Heaven on Earth.😀I must go !
always like rick steves best videos
What a blessed life you’ve had Steve!! 👍😁👍
Such a beautiful place.
Such a fortunate fella ole Rick is
Rick Steve’s is the king of the passport 🤩
We visited France in June 2016...this video brought back memories of the places we visited in the French Riviera one of the top tourist attractions in the world!
Hello Ricks Steve, i have notice your VLOG just only last year. I am not sure if when was that month. But when I watched your VLOGGED , i really admired and i saw it very impressive. Congratulation. God Bless you more.
All the mediterranean french coast from the catalan coast to azur coast is one of the most beautiful side ... Its underrated i think, and lot of people forget also the french catalan coast (Collioure, Banyuls sur Mer, Argeles, Canet Barcares), its worth it !!
Luckily we have this beautiful country near to us! From the Netherlands
thank you :D
Sven W And France is lucky to have the Netherlands close, on her shoulder :)
@@user-uu5jf3jo3o yes thanks for the good weed and haschich
I have almost watch all your videos since I retire from working serving table in three different Cruise line for almost 25 years most of it all over Europe . I honestly enjoyed every bit of it because I almost feel that I was walking again to all those places. My dream now is to have my wife see also all the beautiful places that I have seen , but I think will have to wait for a while until this pandemic stopped ...not only enjoying the scenery you explain very well all its history ...Thank you so much ....
French Riviera is awesome

tour Europe.
Be safe, healthy and happy.
Jesus Christ loves you.
God bless you 🙏😇
I love Rick Steves
It has been years since my college days abroad and other trips to the Cote Azure, and Nice in particular. My first student trip involved the coastal train, hanging out the seaside windows , and passing students in and out of the windows at various stopping points. I remember the gigantic peaches on each table, which were delicious, but we didn't realize we had to pay for them! Everyone had to divvy up ! We laughed a lot, of course 🤣!
BTW, those " lovely" beaches were stones, not sand like our North Carolina Crystal Coast beaches! Your bottom could really tell after a few minutes!
The flowers of the Saleya market come from Morocco since the 70s. There is no more production since the buildings have grown everywhere in the Alpes Maritimes.
I went to those places by surprise I found in one hotel in Nice to Rick Steves, amazing surprise, I will never forget in my travel...🥰🥰🥰🥰
A half-hour virtual vacation to the Riviera for my Mother’s Day treat! So beautiful.
Thank you, Rick, for showing us the south of France with outstanding video and historically-rich narrative. I learned so much!
Ooh la la tres chic and beautiful views.
I've been to Nice, Cannes and Monte Carlo and enjoyed it very much.
Me too
The best of Rick Steves terrific tours, Like the story of Picasso' rebirth as anartist,t Rick teaches us more than art history classes or the rigidly controlled museum tours we have taken.
Uniquely Chic pantai lebar memanjang ombak kecil biru luar biasa. banyak orang berjemur juga gambar lukisan indah. pemandangan hijau
Excellent trip by Rick
Great city with great cultural heritage.. Awesome beautiful.. I love it
So happy to see such beautiful places. Thank you Sir for taking me in the universe!💛💖💚💙💜
Rick, you're always fantastic
Rented apt in Nice for a month spring and fall till 2023.2 weeks in aix de provence! Paris too! Love to travel goodbye covid!
Professional, accurate and exactly as it is. I never tire of this gorgeous area. Avoid high season!
It is so good to watch Rick’s beautiful travel episodes, especially during these pandemic times. Thank you, Rick!
Thank you Rick brilliant, great video.
Celine Dion impressed me. Even she is Canadian. Now I like to improve my French language and visit France once. Beautiful language!
yes I love this!! as much as I want to travel, I cannot afford it and I don't have enough time in the world see the world the way I want to. thanks for making these videos and giving me insight on other cultures.
You only have one life to live . Live it !
Thank you Rick, enjoyed your company! So long to go back to the French Riviera, but as that's not possible, this little trip with you was worth a lot.
Frenchman’s Riviera a great place to rest a view the museums.and eat and relax with great coffee. Churches a must love the religiosity of the each church.Museums of light Matisse a favourite.great colour.Matisse a great artist I loved to view thanks for the trip Rick on the Rivera trip
I love these. And I already miss people who live and create with a decent mindset.
Great video ... I live in the French Riviera (i'm also french) in a famous village who is called " Saint Paul de Vence " it's beautiful , if someone goes there ^^
The video is a little old ; specialy for Monaco (they add many many buildings =/) and it's bad that you forget St Tropez or Mandelieu , it's wonderful :)
Vive la côte d'azur :D
I visited St Paul de Vence- this past November. It was amazing! Beautiful.
I wish Monaco had fewer buildings. It must make people angry to lose their beautiful views. But the Grimaldi family really brought it back to life, Grace was the best thing to happen there in the 20th Century.
Love your videos Steve! For my English class , I used to watch your videos on national Tv. I Learned new expressions and moreover I visited many places and enjoyed it through your videos. glad I found them on TH-cam too :-)
entertainment
me too.his english is very clear
I am also using the same way...
One of my beloved and favourite channels. And I am really proud to be an honoured part of my beloved and respected Steve’s videos and awesome channel. May god almighty always blesses you all with health wealth and prosperity and happiness and a healthy life full of love and blessings. And a millions and millions of tons of love 💔 and blessings from India 🇮🇳 my beloved motherland. And especially from Punjab and especially from Amritsar city.
My favorite place on earth/paradise on earth! I was only born there & visited it once. I wish I could go to the Côte d'Azur every year in May, June, September or October. Your videos are amazing! I watch them to travel via TH-cam since I can't otherwise :( .
what a gorgeous video. you are so lucky Rick
I was in this area in 2014. Did a self guided walking tour with a company called Walk in Provence. From Tende in the Alps down to Menton on the coast. Unforgettable experience. Even put a foot into Italy. The views from the hilltop village of Saint Agnes out over the Mediterranean. Gorgeous. Good times. 🙂
Love Provençe.
@@amylynnhunt55 Well, that area is not historic Provence , and Rick explained. It is Alpes-Maritime., which was the old County of Nice.
Some parts were ceded to France from Italy only after WWII.
I love the scenes in the old town market in Nice. Julia Child herself used to shop amongst all of those vendors for decades. I was especially intrigued by the bit when Rick talks about Socca, the chickpea based flatbread sold in the market. Julia Child filmed a special segment in the market about the Socca for her original “The French Chef” television show nearly fifty years ago. Its astounding they still prepare and transport the same products as they did so many years ago.
Nice is so nice, sunny and colorful! ❤💕
Beautiful city, lovely place to eat and shopping. great video Thank you very much. cant wait to enjoy beautiful place like this one.
Don't forget unknown Menton because it's the most beautiful city in french Riviera !
I recommend !
Good overview for reference. Thanks.
I was in Nice last summer. After watching this I want to go there again. I missed too many things :-(
I'll go again. Absolutely. God told Moses Thou Shall Not Kill. But God did NOT say - thou shall not lobotomize. First crime - FULL FRONTAL LOBOTOMY. Problem solved everyone's happy and alive.
UNNIE AYILLIATH I just went there recently and now I feel like going back after watching this video , I feel your pain bro😩
Visiting there is on my bucket list , as I sit here and rapidly age in South America , during Covid lockdown !
Corona isolation... I am travelling around the world with Rick Steves.
Many years ago I was lucky enough to visit Nice, Cannes and Monte Carlo. I really enjoyed it.
What a beautiful and mature presentation...thanks Steves...
Beautiful place magic thanks
Mr. Steves is a fantastic host!
A beautiful France alivera, love boutique perfume, wine restaurant perfect, love France.💕🌹
beautiful coverage and presentation thanks lot especially Chagall paintings
I grew up watching your shows on PBS; I enjoyed them then, as I do now. Thank you.
Want to join you Rick😊..This what the life is all about..just explore n enjoy things
Beautiful place! I wish I could live there...
I see greece, italy, spain and croatia. Many things in common.
Very nice and i like the historical info you provide and current info also. Great channel 👍
Really enjoyed your presentation, especially since I visited all those places a few years ago. Found your narrative instructive and well done.
The video quality is impressive and certainly gives a good idea of the beauty of that part of the french Riviera.
Thank you for sharing.
Great Job! These places are magical. In fact, you have to see the places in person to understand how magical they are.
Wonderful video. Brings back so many memories of when I was there over 10 years ago. Hope to go again.
Always, wonderful information.
Absolutely Delightful......Magical & mesmerizing in its Mystique !
Cote d'Azur is one of not so many places that i really want to go back to, it's just an amazing place to be.
No graffiti, litter or riff-raff. Beautiful.
Graffiti can be beautiful.
You're right. Just pure class. A place where you can wear sharp suits and sunglasses without looking like a poser.
Except for the one teen jumping in front of the camera at the end, bloopers.
@@RunnerProblems But very rarely is.
Thanks, Rick. Your videos make me happy and want to travel with my family.
Thanks so much! So beautiful!
I enjoyed this video very much. Thank you, Mr Rick Stevens.
Beautiful... Made traveling to the South of France easy & Amazing!!!
Thank you Rick. The video gave me new ideas on what to do while visiting the Riviera!
still going ?
bigAssGooseberrydich why?
Beautiful, thank you Rick, so enjoyable to watch
Woops wrong video
Pretty place pretty people ☺☺☺
Absolutely great. Congratulations Rick Steves !!
The facial expression of this guy eating the fish stew...priceless
Awesome just spectacular great video thanks for sharing
Grace Kelly went to Cannes as part of a panel for the film festival not to make a movie and that's when she met Prince Ranier. Ranier was so respectful of tradition that he flew to meet Grace's parents so as to ask for her hand in marriage. 'Can you provide well for our daughter?' 'Well, I'm a Prince.' 'So you're working steady?'
Somerset Maugham, who knew the Riviera intimately, called it “a sunny place for shady people.”
Yes, Maugham is a man who spoke the truth. Steves' presentations always seem contrived to me...
@@bobduvar F. Scott Fitzgerald had a very low opinion of the French people...but then other expat writers didn't like these sour and bitter people too much either.
Merci.
Thoroughly enjoy these windows of Europe. Educational & fun. Great Job Rick Steves'
Come to Cyprus!! You will see more beauties
Thankyou forever
Matisse, Marc, Picasso, c'est chic!!!
*Rick* (!), veľká vďaka, že som sa s Tebou, mohol opäť viac dozvedieť o *Francúzskej Riviere* !!! (y)
