As a frequent British visitor to France, one of my favourite things about the country is the fact that it’s simultaneously a northern European country and a southern European country (a good way of illustrating this is noting that Dunkirk - 51.03°N - is almost on the same latitude as London - 51.51°N - whilst Perpignan - 42.69°N - is more or less on the same latitude as Rome - 41.90°N), and the food, people, architecture and general lifestyle reflect this fact. There is nothing I like better than getting a ferry to Brittany and Normandy, enjoying the Franco-Celtic green and pleasant scenery for a few days, then hopping on a TGV and 4hrs later I’m soaking up the sun, listening to the electric buzz of the cicadas, and walking among the palm trees of Nice, or Marseille, or Perpignan. The colours change to reflect the predominant skies. Paris, with its resolutely monochrome palette, knows it's a northern town. 250 miles south and you’re in Lyon, a city whose colours resemble a box of ripening peaches and with bleached red roofs reflecting the southern sun. The fact the country also borders 8 other countries makes it endlessly fascinating, as you get that Flemish vibe in Lille, a distinctly Germanic tone in Strasbourg, and that seductive Latin magnetism of Spain and Italy in Bayonne and Nice. Food, people, weather, architecture all distinctly change to a fascinating extent from region to region, city to city, village to village. In many ways, notwithstanding its strong centralism and the prevalent 21st century globalism, France feels like about 3 or 4 countries in one. For all these reasons (and more!), it’s an endlessly captivating place.
Vous avez résumé la France parfaitement
@@fafaderkaoui1801 Merci! 👍
The Loire Castles like Chambord or Chenonceau also are incredible !!
I gotta visit them!
France is a vibe... especially the alps and riviera! 😁⛰️🏝️🇫🇷
Such a vibe 🇫🇷😇
Have you ever been to France before?
France is my favourite country so far !!!! 💙🤍❤ so beautiful !
Such a magical place!
Perigord/Dordogne is really amazing, my favourite place in France personally
I gotta go back and check it out!
If you like to eat it is the pace to be 🤓
Only downside is that is is also known as "Dordogneshire" as there are so many Expat Brits.
I love everything French!!! We have been very lucky to visit most of these places!!!!
That's awesome! Where is your favorite place in France?
@@RyanShirley too many to pick
Hello dear how are you doing today?
I love verything in England
@@richardbittencourt8515 What do you want?
Saint Malo, Saint Emilion, Bonifacio, Bordeaux, and Biarritz are also lovely places to visit in France. I’ve been there it’s amazing
I gotta visit them all!
Countless truly outstanding places in France...as in most of Europe but the variety of landscapes and the history of France makes it special, with Italy only which can challenge it IMO
Saint-Malo is definitely the most beautiful city I've ever visited
@@jojo-rq8lj me too
Bordeaux is my favorite French city. I love it much more than Paris.
Thank you from the French for showing the majestic places of our country, most French people like me have not even visited everything you show here
What part of France are you from?
@@RyanShirley In the department of Loire 2 hours drive from Annecy
a "top 1000" for France would have been better, there is so many amazing places to visit there !!
Haha one day I'll make that video :)
Top 100 Italy so... Yes top 10 France😉😈

@@drefyt Yes my home France is much better :)
France really is incredible, thanks for uploading Ryan. Great video as always!
Thanks Stef! I'm jealous you live so close! Hope all is well in the Netherlands. Looking forward to your future videos.
@@RyanShirley Very close, even if it feels far these days ;). Hope things are going well there too. Your channels are doing amazing, great to see that!
@@stefhoffer Hi
bruh no
Hi
I love France so much. I spent three months there in 2019. I visited Pau, Bordeaux (my absolute favorite), Tolousse, and many historical tiny villages in the south. My partner and I had a picnic for our anniversary in the Pyrenees Mountains by a waterfall. We spent Christmas morning exploring a walled city before returning to the farmhouse where we were staying. France is my most memorable part of being a nomad. My partner and I are going to apply for residency in France next year.
Bienvenue en France ! Where would you guys live in France ?
@@nonokbh countryside outside Bordeaux. We're planning now to apply for residency in late 2022 or early 2023 so we can live there part of the year.
@@todrapayne Fantastic ! Bordeaux is a gorgeous city, surrounded by the best wineyards in the world, close to the surf beaches and the amazing Cap Ferret ! Have you started to learn some French ? ;)
@@nonokbh Yes, just started. My guy is much better at languages than I am, so I'm struggling. 😄
@@todrapayne Don't you worry. Even if you have a few words people will welcome you with open harms if you just make a very little effort. Then with a glas of Loupiac comes the fun and you are part of the family 😄. So glad you come to France you look very enthousiastic this is fabulous ! Enjoy yourself ! La vie est belle !
Les Pyrénées, le Pays Basque and l'Auvergne also worth the look :)
Thank you Ryan for showing France in such a beautiful way; and there are so much others beautiful places in our country...
Other hidden gems in France:
- l'île vierge crozon (Bretagne)
- Corsica (Bonefacio, Porto Vecchio, Scandola…)
- Puy de come (Auvergne)
- Gorges du Verdon & Moustiers-Sainte-Marie (Provence)
- îles d’Hyères, îles du Levant… (Toulons)
- Thonon-les-Bains (Lac Leman)
- Ardèche & Vallon Pont D'arc
- île de ré & île d'oléron
- Viaduct de Millau
- …
Thanks Peter! I looked them up and all are some really unique and beautiful spots I want to visit now.
@@RyanShirley Enjoy the trip mate! 👌
Calanque d'en Vau🥵
th-cam.com/video/j4jadI9N748/w-d-xo.html
Corsica Is Italy and Napoleon an italian!!!!
I did two seasons in the French Alps. France has so much to offer 👍
No way! Where is your favorite place in the Alps?
Augergne is such an incredible place, old dead volcanoes are beautiful and even magical during fall.
I need to visit it next time I go to France
@@RyanShirley my family is from here I go there at least once a year and it's so beautuful you'll love it.
Climb the Puy de Dôme ( or you can take a little train to go up) the view is AMAZING :)
As a French I would say huge thanks for this TOP10, OMG so lucky to be French
Of course mate! Where is your favorite place in France?
@@RyanShirley That's a tough one, I would say the Vendée because the weather in summer is just perfect with great landscapes
@@Kianyful Hi?
John 3:16-19.
France is so beautiful and there are so many stunning Places to go to. The Camargue is incredible, with its culture, nature and small Cities like Saintes Maries de la Mer or Aigues-Mortes. This year we spent Somerset time at the Cote d‘albatre in the Normandy, especially in Veules les Roses. We love it.
Ah I gotta go back and visit them all!
France is so diverse in its Landscape and culture. Love it. I have spent time exploring the Alps and south. A great life experience
France really has it all!
If you come back in France in few time, visit Gavarnie circle in Pyrénées, pic du midi (with blue lake and Tourmalet road) and also gorges de l'Ardèche, you will be conquest
The cirque de Gavarnie looks incredible! I'll definitely visit this summer :)
It's my dream to visit France. It's such a gorgeous country.
I live in Lyon France
@@playerpaul5509 I also live in France and it’s amazing
@@manondemoncheaux9947 your américan?
@@playerpaul5509 No I’m French. My name is French also lol
@@manondemoncheaux9947 ok
It's my dream to visit France. It's such a gorgeous country. 🥰
It's amazing that a country of 212,000 square miles can have such incredible geographic diversity! And that's not even counting the overseas departments and territories. I am so proud to having been born in Paris and have remained French my entire life. There's so much more I want to see! Thanks Ryan, you brought back some wonderful memories.
I mean sure but France isn't that small. It's twice the UK's size lmao
@@charles1413 it's only the size of Texas if you think about it... but it's packed with much more diversity, which makes it feel so much bigger
@@idrk7509 I get what you saying!
@@idrk7509 And there is just not the continent France there is also the islands and territories around the world that bring a lot of diversity and wonderful places :)
Being German me and my wife (who is a french teacher) always refer to france to be a 'continent in itself'. North, south, east and west are much more different as almost all countries I have been visiting (well: maybe Germany, but this is for visitors to explore). Enjoying the cool waters at Fontaine de Vaucluse, listening to music in the gardens of Versaille, taking a ride on white horses in the Camarque (being afraid of horses) and hiking in the Massif Central are things being so different but also so 'french' ... .
From my (german) point of view there always is a central impression I have being in France: Those guys know how to enjoy life!
Vive la France ❤️
Finally a list of things to visit in France that goes a bit beyond the expected. Thanks for sharing! I would have loved to see a couple more images from some of the places you mention and barely show (Avignon, for example) but a great start to do some more research. Nice stuff.
Périgord, Lubéron, les Baux, arcachon, biarritz, Sarlat, Ardèche, collioure, châteaux cathares, loire valley., Burgundy, 159 nicest small towns, Beaune...endless list
Wow, I need to go back and visit them all 🤩
Yippie!!! Strasbourg is there! I Love the city. How the traditional houses look like is really beautiful! But all in all French is very enchanting country. Merci Ryan !
Thanks so much Dina! Strasbourg reminds me a lot of Germany, such a stunning city! Where is your favorite place in France?
Strasbourg in Alsace as the largest witch history. That’s why house look unreal . House you don’t even saw on witch movie . .
th-cam.com/video/j4jadI9N748/w-d-xo.html
Mont Saint Michelle is the best place to visit, such an amazing place. Would love to visit it again some day ❤️
Didn't know Michel had a female acolyte
That's so cool you've been! Hope you can return soon :)
Some of these areas in France are absolutely beautiful! I also liked the historic areas.
Thanks for sharing @Ryan Shirley.
So much history and beauty there :)
@@RyanShirley Indeed.
Some favs are the chateaux of Chenonceaux and Chambord
I've never visited them, but when I go back I gotta check them out!
Hi Glenn Smith?
I totally agree.
France is really very beautiful country.
Thank you for all these nice views recalling amazing memories!
You can also mention les Chateaux de la Loire, of which Amboise where Leonardo da Vinci created Mona Lisa. You also have to bike your way across Bordeaux vineyards and go eat oysters on the Bassin d'Arcachon with a chilly glass of white wine. Nimes and Arles with their roman theaters are worth the visit too. Not forgetting Toulouse, the pink city, the medieval places in Gascony, birth region of D'Artagnan, and so much more...
Léonard de Vinci brought Mona Lisa in his suitcases. When he arrives in France, invited by king François 1er, he was already an old man. Le clos Lucé, in Amboise, was is residence (the visit is very plaisante, in particular you can see all the models of his inventions)
This is my home sweet home. Thank you so much for making this video! 🇫🇷 ❤️
You’re from a special place :)
Cap de Nice, and Cannes Pointe de I'Aiguille. Really Amazing places in France for cliff jumping and snorkeling. I can't recommend it enough : )
You had me at cliff jumping! Definitely going there this summer if I can!
Hi Kristofferson Kellinsalmi?
The pleasure we derive from journeys is perhaps dependent more on the mindset with which we travel than on the destination we travel to!!!!!
This was absolutely stunning to watch. Greate work, great edit....
I would really like to travel there💙💜
th-cam.com/video/j4jadI9N748/w-d-xo.html
Great saying 🙌; traveling is such A wonderful experience; makes you Appreciate the world 🌎 & its people. It’s wonderful to explore other cultures
This was so great in helping me make decisions about places I wanted to visit on my trip to France this summer! Thank you!!!!
You're gonna have such a great time :)
Hello dear how are you doing today?
Great video. Cant wait to go back to explore some of the regions i havent been to.
Hola!! Me encanta tu canal. Tus vídeos son espectaculares. Me encantaría que TH-cam tuviera una opción para poder verlos traducidos al Español. Pero de todas formas no puedo dejar de verlos, ya que tienen tal calidad las imágenes, y lo muestras todo tan bonito que enamoran. Gracias por hacer estos vídeos. Anotaré para próximos viajes muchos de los lugares que muestras
Wow I just started planning a trip there this summer ! I needed this
You're gonna have the time of your life!
Ryan, if there's somebody in the world whose life I envy the most, that one would definitely be you. I wish some day I could visit so many different places with so much typical cultural and geographical characteristics, though I'm already older than you. What else can I say? Another awesome video with stoning scenic pictures. I thought you would not mention the wonderful Côte d'Azur in South France, but the coast was there, in the end. I already know some of these places, specially those towns in Alsacia. I guess you could dedicate a whole video to the south of France, including lovely towns in the Region of Provence and its fields of lavender as well as costal towns and the beautiful "calanques" such as those of Cassis, for instance. Thanks for the video
Beautiful France
It really is!
Dont forget LOIRE's castels , are beautiful ❤
Thanks for your video
🇨🇵🇨🇵
Ah I really need to visit next time :)
France really a beautifull country. good video
Great job! those motion pictures are gorgeous ! As these places would tend to be pretty crowded in August and July, September, and even October for the south, would be a good moment to travel there. Except for Paris, which would be the most quiet in august, when all the Parisians are somewhere else enjoying holidays. Thanks man, great stuff.
Thanks mate! Great tip to go in September and October. Are you from France?
@@RyanShirley Yes, I live In Normandy. Your channel is awesome, very inspiring for future travels. Thanks mate!
France makes the attraction of the many people....We are very lucky to see the France in this video...Thank you Ryan....It always new to me
Thanks Cherry! Hope you can visit
@@RyanShirley Thank you for replied to me
Enfin vous êtes allé en France ! 🇫🇷 ⚜️ Merci ! Allons voir !
Part II aura la Loire bucolique! Combien coûte-il pour aller à l’Aiguille du Midi, svp ? How much does it cost to go to the Southern Needle cost, please? And I am American, but did you say “Canis” for “Cannes”? Ouch. « Ça m’écorche les oreilles. » Please, please, please just listen to and repeat a bit of pronunciation when you post such a gorgeous video! 😇
As an inhabitant of Brittany, I can say that the plans are well chosen, but there is so much to see that it would take a one hour video 😅 The second landscape that we can see, I would recognize it between 1000! It's not far from Cap Fréhel. Not far away, there is the campsite which was for a time the largest municipal campsite in Europe, it is a fairly "Roots" campsite without the fuss and where you can rest wherever you want.
Thank you very much Ryan for showing my country, for people who could be interested there is also to visit, le colorado de Rustrel, le Pic de Midi de Bigorre, le cirque de Gavarnie, Peyrepertuse, Les gorges du Verdon, Le Puy de Dôme, Rocamadour, Colmar during Christmas !
Thanks so much friend! I love your country ☺️
Always amazing footage. Thank you for share your great work. Watching from Germany.
Thanks Reise! Hopefully we can both have a summer full of travel!
Amazing video Ryan, beautifully shot and produced.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful aerial shot!
Of course mate!
Awesome video - so many stunning shots in there. A few more places to add to the bucket list!
Thanks friend! Hope you can visit them all. Where is your favorite place in France?
Amazing video. I love French Riviera.
Thank you again for this amazing trip! Colmar is like a fairy tale, especially at Christmas time;)
Ah man, you're making me want to go this Christmas!
What a pleasure to see my region Alsace in this video !
That's awesome you live in Alsace! Where is your favorite place there?
Hippedi hoppedi sis is now German property. ;-P
@@yufka3247 we Lorraine and alsaciens don’t belong to Germany anymore . We are French .!!!
@@lavertu5711 I am well aware of this…it was a joke…
france is incredibly beautiful.. amazing video Ryan
Thanks mate!
Awesome! I hate crowded touristy place so I'd probably avoid Paris and visit one of those cute sleepy towns! :D
I'm with you, its hard to beat the smaller towns hidden in the countryside! :)
You can’t avoid Paris 🤦♂️ It’s so amazing with so many beautiful monuments 🤩
Trust me, these places are crowded as well.
Well for Paris, don't fear ...BUT... you must get an hotel right in the center (in "Le Marais" would be good).....That way, Paris itself not being very big, you could WALK! just about everywhere interesting.......That how I visited Paris and that was the most enjoyable way to do it ( yes I'm from Paris but Parisians still have to"visit/explore" their home town!!!)
Amazing video💖 l love French Riviera!!!!♥️
Thanks Mirguole! Such a beautiful part of france.
I love your Places to go,giving insperation as traveller..keep it up
Hi Ryan! I love traveling with you on your youtube channel. You do a great job!
Thank you very much for this video :) ! If you look for big historical moments I highly recommand my sweet Normandy (again) the beaches near Caen (Arromanche, the Pegasus bridge) and the many WW2 memorials there, and of course les château des la Loire (beautiful)
Hello dear how are you doing today?
Absolutely wonderful ❤️ Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
Thanks Bruno! Hope all is well in Scotland :)
Thanks for sharing! I’ve never been to France but when I get there Versailles is top of my list! I’ll make sure to hit up the rest of these places too! So beautiful! Cool channel! I’m following!
The history behind Versailles blows my mind, I can't believe how much money was used for it. Can't wait for you to visit france!
Thank you Ryan for showing us our beautiful country. I wish you'll include my city of Lyon in your next Part 2.
I’ll definitely add Lyon to the next France video :) such a great city
France is a beautiful country with multiple cultures and i will visit with family soon and I would explore all the famous places
Wonderful video
Beautiful ^^I love Paris 🇨🇵
Thank you very much!
Amazing, can't wait to see these places.
Excited for you to visit :)
Thanks for showing us some of France's hidden gems🥰
Of course! Where do you want to visit most in France?
@@RyanShirley Hiking the Alps must be a breathtaking experience!
2019 had 2nd trip to Paris and north France... was amazing... your Video convinced me to head to south next time...
So excited for you to explore the south!!
salut . i am french .i am from the south of france . if you come to the south , visit sanary sur mer , monfort sur argens , carcès , saint maximin la sainte baume ,sillans la cascade , les gorges du verdon , and lots of others villages . without forgetting the beautiful corcica island . in any case , welcom in france ...
@@kopekis thanks for info... Corcica is definitely on my list... the other villages, more research is a must😊... I was fancied by the cities and villages outside Paris in my road trip...
Paris ❤ Please take me there already 😍
Such a gorgeous video and so well done. You could be the best tour guide ever.
Thanks so much Elizabeth! I'm trying :)
Je suis français, j'habite à côté de Nice. Superbe vidéo !
Stunning places. Nice compilation with such a pleasing narration. 👌
Thanks mate!
You are doing things which are really inspring and giving positive energy to me. Keep doing because you are doing great. From Vietnam with love.
Thanks Van! I need to visit Vietnam soon!
Wonderful place thanks for sharing amazing videos 🙏
Thanks Sivayam!
the Aiguille du Midi is one of the places in France i hope to visit someday
Can't wait for your to go! One of the coolest place in France in my opinion :)
Corsica is by far the nicest place in France I´ve been to and together with the fjords of Norway my favourite area in Europe. There are not so many people, the water is crystal-clear, the mountains are beautiful and it smells nice.
I want to visit Corsica hopefully this coming year ☺️
Polynesia is more beautiful but Corsica is very nice
I've been to France three times and admittedly, I've only seen very little of it considering how big it is but I loved it. Lovely country. It's amazing how big France really is. On its own it's about the same size as Poland and Romania together. Spain is a whopper itself, been there too, it's lovely.
Truly is a massive country jam packed with endless places to visit! Where is your favorite destination?
@@RyanShirley To be honest, I've only been to the northeast of France, I think it was Strasbourg, that was probably my favourite
True and France has one of the biggest history in the world ! I really love my country!
@@scottishcountryball1922 Are you Scottish but live in France?
Texas is bigger
Blessed and Proud to be French 😍🇫🇷 God Bless France ❤️
Love your country!
Amazing video as always ! For the next one, you could add Perigord, Pays Basque Luberon and Loire valley ...
I gotta go back now :)
Hi Guillaume sadoc?
Fabulous ! 😀 Your Videos can always provide me with delightful Surprises with great choices of destinations. Thank You.❤😁
Thanks so much Helena! Hope you can travel france soon :)
