I ate the best butter in my life when I was in Normandy. It felt like a spiritual event. I think I heard angels singing. Ok, ok, it was amazing. 😂👍

Mon Dieu, what a great video. I traversed France by bicycle last autumn from Normandy to Nice. What a great way to see France. Slow enough to soak up the atmosphere in little villages off the beaten track, but not nearly as slow as walking. Most importantly, riding 80 - 100 km a day or so, built up an appetite. During a week of warm up riding in Normandy I learned to love Galletes and amazing patisserie. Most of all Moules Frites, sitting 10 meters from the docked fishing boats. I made a point of not drinking wine as the Normandy cider was so delicious. Dessert was always Trou Normande made with apple sorbet and a drizzle of Calvados - heaven. Not to be outdone, an hotelier in Ardeche made Trou Ardechois for me with chestnut ice cream and a local chestnut liquer. In Castellane (Provence), a restaurant made me a Trou Provencale (even though it wasn't on the menu) using Genepi sorbet drizzled with Genepi liquer. My favourite Trou? - the one I was eating at the time of course! Not to be outdone is Salade Landaise in Bordeaux - accompanied by a red wine from St Emilion or Libourne. After viewing your video I'm already planning a trip to take in those areas I've not yet visited. Bravo for getting out of Paris.

This is a very well-done summary of what France has to offer.

In twenty minutes you succeed in showing an overview of the diversity of France. And it's important for foreigners to understand that France is not limited to the Paris area.

Le problème avec vos vidéos c'est qu'on a vite l'eau à la bouche et on à envie de se mettre à table tout de suite. Merci et bravo !

Got giddy watching this. France is so breathtaking!

I took 3 years of French in high school. I remember learning about Alsace region...according to my teacher, and you guys can correct me if she was wrong, but I was told that since the Alsace region has gone back and forth between French and German so many times, many locals do not identify as French or German. When asked what country they are from, they just say they are Alsace.
One way to visit Normandy, is actually rent a car in Paris, and drive to Normandy. You can stop in Rouen on your way. That is what I did, and it worked out perfectly. Landed at 130PM local time, it was about an hour and 45 minute drive to Rouen, and then another hour and 45 minutes to my hotel outside Bayuex. I tried Domain Dupont cider based on your recommendation in a previous video. I was blown away. That cider is dangerous...I drank a whole bottle at my hotel, and before I knew it, I was drunk. lol Brought a whole case home with me. I have 2 bottles left.

Great Video, I'm almost crying from France de mon enfance....

1 of the unforgettable trips was in Limousin area. We are a group of a Finnish horse back riders. We had an unbeliaveble group trip in La Ferme equestre de Trephy, Chaumeil France. They specialize in natural horsemanship, western and randos in natural park! After visiting France more than over 30 times, this goes to Top3 💜💯👏

LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! Keep up the great work Colleen and

This year we went to Haute Alpes de Provence (near Sisteron) and it was perfect; good food, good weather, nice campingsite. We made a daytrip to Gorges du Verdon and that was stunning!

[magnificus]

Thank you for the wonderful video! Even after living in Florence for a year, it still amazes me how compact Europe is. 45 minutes by train, 2 hours here . . .

I can barely get from San Diego to Los Angeles in 2 hours!!

[PeterDeBrook]

Each region deserves its own episode (maybe two), there are so many places to visit. Great video anyway 😃

[lafayettedad]

Thank you so much for this video. It is exactly what I was needing. I followed all of your advice and travel guides when I took my daughter to Paris for her 16th birthday and now as we look forward to going back for her 18th birthday, we really want to spend more time outside of Paris, looking at all these different regions. This was exactly what I needed to help us in our planning. Thank you so much and keep up the great work. Nashville, TN.

Thank you so much for all the time you put into this great overview of France! Love that you added the local foods of each region and which trains to take from Paris. Merci beaucoup! North Carolina, U.S.

I’ve been fortunate to travel to France nearly every year since 1994. My favorite regions are Bourgogne (particularly the Yonne, home of Vezelay, Chablis, and Auxerre, and the Côte d’Or, where the very best French wines come from) and Provence, particularly the Luberon, around Roussillon, one of the loveliest hilltop villages.

[cathyjustcathy]

After watching this I need to add 5 months to my scheduled 3 week trip! 🍾🍷🧀

[carolmartin]

Lovely summary of each French region...each distinct, colorful and definitely worth visiting.

[theologiecatholique]

magnifique survol de notre pays. Merci à tous les deux !

[Martine-xszd]

Toujours d’excellents vlogs Coleen et Antoine 👏 . Merci d’avoir rédigé ce résumé pour montrer les belles régions de France avec leurs spécificités différentes : architecture, cuisine, traditions etc…
S’il s’éloigne de Paris un touriste peut avoir l’impression de visiter plusieurs pays . Je vais de ce pas transférer à des amis américains qui ne connaissent que Paris.
