Years ago starting in Toulouse, our drive was 8 days through south central France. One item to note, it’s subtle, but there no, or very rare road litter!!!! Beautiful country, friendly locals and the food, OMG, the food, Tre magnifique!! Vive la France. Merci.
I love your video! My family and I recently got home from a 3 week vacation in Europe where we visited the country town of Belluwood and the city of Paris. There is so much to see and do in France. We can't wait to go back and explore more! - Michelle :)
The music ( ??) sounds like the Wurlitzer at Blackpool Tower Ballroom. I used to know this area quite well, at the foot hills of the Pyrenees ( French Spelling), I used to collect granite from quarries around Tarbes, and deliver packaging materials to a Mica mine at Saint Beat.
This accordion music at 03:59 it's so strange it feels like I am remembering something my beats so deep with love for someone or something or for what I don't know but in reality I can't remember anything except the feeling of something very very old even older than I could remember in my whole life. Such is the effect of this music like something lost is calling me again to meet once more.
What ever made this TH-camr decide on this very unfrench sounding musical Tango Interlude with, of all things, a very metalic sounding Wurlitzer Organ? And in South-West France, a region so rich in tradtion and history.
Au revoir! (if that's the right spelling, probably not, and so much for my French -- or use thereof.) But I was there, too, doing exactly this kind of thing, only in the mid-80s, in Normandie. How sweet it was there, too. Thanks for the memories!
@Debasis kumar - I don't play classical music. I play contemporary soft piano. Personally, I like it. Otherwise I wouldn't be playing it lol It matched perfectly too :)
Capital letter ones would be the towns and villages. The lower case ones would be the 'hameaux', they generally consist of only 1 or 2 houses, that belong to farmers, most of the time. It's common in rural france to have some little hameaux with 1, 2 or 3 houses. These hameaux are attached to a village or a town. The whole group, for instance a village and 3 of its neighboring hameaux that are rattached to it, is the commune. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mention_de_signalisation_routi%C3%A8re_en_France You can see on this wikipedia page, that also, we use lower case for rivers, forests and stuff life that.
Beulah super quant on vois les pancartes ça fait plaisir de partager ta promenade, tout en voir les endroits, villages et département merci, meilleur vidéo c'est la tienne ;)
Looks awesome fun. I’ve done a few driving holidays through Europe, mainly through France and Spain which I video’d and put on TH-cam. Have further trips planned.
You can listen to the George Wright at his Wurlitzer album on Spotify at open.spotify.com/album/09Qjk5iWQ0oz5yszk7fXvo or download the album in CD quality at www.qobuz.com/gb-en/album/george-wright-at-his-mighty-wurlitzer-george-wright/5055667603632
I guess the main reason why the music doesn't seem to jibe with the scenery for me is that the scenery looks like it could have come straight from the rural parts of Tennessee where I live--right down to the Stop sign in English. And the music sounds like nothing that I associate with home. It sounds to me like a mix of the background music you hear in Mexican restaurants, the background music you hear in Italian restaurants, and the score of an Alfred Hitchcock film, lol! And thinking of it as the latter is the only way I can make it mesh with the scenery in my mind because Hitchcock's films did include a lot of scenes from locales that looked like this. The camera operator seemed to use a few subtle creepy effects that fed into that, too. But to a person who had lived in rural France all their lives, I imagine that the fit would be perfect between the music and the scenery, without having to think of Hitchcock--whom This video also makes me wonder why so many Southern Americans see the Southeastern region of the US as being so damned unique.
The music was not quite to my taste, but at least you spared us the almost mandatory accordion when it comes to vids shot by foreigners in France... so I only half-complain. :)
I know it well,lived in the Gers for 15 years,near Auch I think it's the only department without any motorway Had a bad reputation for road deaths,as people in the countryside tend to drive quicker,less traffic I suppose,but trees and walls are very unforgiving

I love this place so much 1000 times better than busy cities
Nee podi
No jobs in the countryside.
@@diceydaze You can find more than one job here but it's most easy in the city
@@Hamadystwell sir, if that be the case one decent job is good enough for me.
I absolutely love the tree covered winding roads and greenery everywhere. So beautiful. I hope to hike that area someday.
How beautiful. I feel even more compelled now to go visit, and if I can, live in Southern France for a couple of years. Thanks for sharing...!

La France ce magnifique
Life in your countryside is very beautiful and very interesting. thank you. love fromvietnam
It is in Gascony, department of Gers. This is the land of the Musketeer know as D'artagnan.
Des villages historiques et le paysage est si beau, merci pour ce film.

Beautiful views
I enjoyed the awesome drive through the countryside
the place is so lovely... but the music is out of place
Philip March Alquizar wrong, it’s perfect
@@PineappleMan555 nah I agree it's pretty annoying
Naa it doesn't match. I had to mute it and play my piano as background music instead
@Debasis kumar - I don't play classical music. I play contemporary soft piano. Personally, I like it. Otherwise I wouldn't be playing it lol It matched perfectly too :)
I agree
1:06 - What is the difference between having the name of the towns on the signpost in capital letters or in lower case letters?
Capital letter ones would be the towns and villages. The lower case ones would be the 'hameaux', they generally consist of only 1 or 2 houses, that belong to farmers, most of the time. It's common in rural france to have some little hameaux with 1, 2 or 3 houses. These hameaux are attached to a village or a town.

The names in lower case are for hamlets
Beautiful village....

دايمآ الأرياف أجمل من المدن فيها هدوء طبيعة جذابة
அனைத்து அருமை வாழ்த்துக்கள் ☺️☺️🙂🙏🙏🌷🌼 இசை அருமையாக இருந்தது நண்பரே 🙏🙂☺️
I really wanted to watch this video but the music was so bad I couldn’t get it out of my head even on mute!
i feel like i am in the car with my 82 year old mother. damn.
hahaha no doubt
And is she driving 🤔
C’est une magnifique village
Beautiful! ¡Muy bello! Linda imagens!
Maravilhoso lugar!!!!!!! Me encantei com cada pedacinho! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Heavenly!
We have produced a sequel, shot in the spring of 2016 watch it at th-cam.com/video/rMp_DmM-BZc/w-d-xo.html

Super
Bon soir
How are you
Manon Williams you must be high!
Which crop they are growing in these fields?
Corn!
I could live there very easily.
Where are the people?
The music sounds like a circus show. It doesn't assimilate to the video and images.
Why are there no people in the town ?
I was wondering same thing😐
Ghost town
The people was at work
This remind me a lot of those French villages in old French films 🥲
Keep your eyes peeled. Defensive driving is a lifesaver! Went to Antibes last year. Saw 5 accidents in one day!
A lot of these roads look very picturesque, but try diving a 45 tonne truck round them making deliveries as I had to, for almost 26 years.
fred grove that sounds like an ideal job to me
I loved it, that is why I kept doing it for so long. Best years of my life. It's all changed now though. Too many rules and regulations.
Looks a lot like areas around southern Ohio and Indiana. Corn fields and all
very nice rural France
Bahut pyara gaon h
Now, I want you to zoom out and repeat the drive.
Not a pothole to be seen all filled in and repaired if only we had roads like that in UK.
Sur... But we paid more taxes than you to maintain its in good condition 🤔😅
second song??
The disadvantage of giving Klaus Wunderlich a lift is he insists on playing that awful music on his Hammond organ.
Cool
This was really good ,just the music was out of place .But i liked the scenery .
i agree. i used the mute button and enjoyed the video more.
Easy fix....hit mute and play some Ravel or Debussy!
Nice video
I guess moat of the buildings over there will be 700 years old and above
Nice
Music is from the tower ballroom Blackpool bizzare !
Vay onbir sene,önce yollar çok farklı
Like my home.... here in Vermont, ha.
Thanks for posting.. Just daydreaming of being there... although my French is rusty.
What’s the speed limit? 5 mph?
See my village Nanded Maharashtra India
Love this but had to mute the music.

love the music
there is no mosquito..am i right?
Syed Altaf Emani correct
I stayed in in France in Paris and countryside and mosquitoes are there too, and guss what ? They bite too.
Ya no mosques
Seemed like a hitchcocks 50’s mystery movie. Excellent music and the shots
The best driving is on tractor, with music, that's the must
Ma belle france 🇫🇷⚜️⚜️⚜️
Fabulous video! Loved the music choices :)
The music was not quite to my taste, but at least you spared us the almost mandatory accordion when it comes to vids shot by foreigners in France... so I only half-complain. :)
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰🥺🇲🇫🇵🇰❤️❤️❤️I love so much 🥺🥺🥺🥺💓💓💓💓💓
My village my life
I know it well,lived in the Gers for 15 years,near Auch
I think it's the only department without any motorway
Had a bad reputation for road deaths,as people in the countryside tend to drive quicker,less traffic I suppose,but trees and walls are very unforgiving
Nice video ❤
Spanish corrida music on french countryside ? Ah ! Ah ! Olé !!!!
I. love y franch. ..
This will count as posch area in my country
Exactly looking like west bengal's village in India 😳😱
Quel joli coin le département du Gers c'est mieux que la Marne où j'habite
Much like the rural Willamette Valley of Oregon. Lovely, but I could do without the Muzak-- Ebb Tide, really?
Quiet place ..no noise just relax here nothing to do .
Except for that organ music that seems to follow you everywhere.
@@georgestaunton6994 The village seems haunted and deserted.
@@georgestaunton6994 music is like ghostly and haunted music trying to give memories of past life. Kudos to who played it strange.
สวัสดี 🙏
Less People More Land .. awesome. but in my #INDIA wherever you see every where people... around #6,50,000 villages we have ..
Beautiful countryside. Not so keen on the music.
All is fine but where are peoples
Lovely video, brings back many memories, (not all good), but it was spoiled by the naff music.
fred grove what happen
Mooi en saai tegelijk.
Very pretty, but a lot of winding roads!
The music was bizarre!
came close to an out and out crash.
Gw suka kek gini
There is no over population . That s why the country be peaceful.
Depopulation is necessary for india,Pakistan,bangladesh,
myanmar etc .
They also have to stop human production
Looks like Pennsylvania
Love that organ!
This music is very David Lynch...
Where peoples go, see only 2 persons in the 15-minute video. Anyway, it's a beautiful country.
Well this videl is probably made a the middle of the day sl most people will be in there work
If I had my life over again I would make France my 🏡
