First in my list is Colmar. Alsace in my preferred region, everything is gorgeous. All the little towns around are like museums. Everything is so clean. From Colmar, no need to have a car. Direct trains from Paris take only 2h20 to go there. Train station is nearby the center. Thanks to buses, you can go to all the little wine villages and enjoy walks there. Colmar is a small town everything can be done just by walking. A dream.

It’s hard to to choose places for a bucket list in France as there are so many beautiful spots, and one can come upon them just by driving around. An unforgettable sight is the Gorge du Verdon and the lake below, and not too far away the incredible spectacle of the lavender fields in full bloom - both are breathtaking in their own way. Yes I love everything about Provence and The Var; the beaches, the hills, the towns and villages and the gorgeous buildings. Wish I was there!

Bike the wine trail, which is what I did. Rent an Ebike at the tourist info office. Beautiful. Many older seniors out biking on the weekends. All of these villages are on this route and you’ll see some cool stuff along the way. Like a plaque that had the story of a great Roman battle in the valley below.

Nice video , thanks for sharing. France is certainly one of the countries, perhaps the country with the greatest diversity of landscape and architecture. If you're visiting Dunkirk, you might like to drop in on Lille, where I live, which is very close by, also known as the capital of Flanders, and is a beautiful city.

On my bucket list is Antibes on the French Riviera, it looks so beautiful and I’m a big Monet fan and I love the paintings he did there. I went to Paris 24 years ago and I loved it. I used to tell my kids about it when they were growing up. I always said I would take them there one day. Well a month ago that dream came true and I took my three teenage kids on a little train trip around Paris and Normandy. We took the Eurostar to Paris, stayed 4 nights, visited the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and Montmartre. We all loved it and I loved being back there! Then we went on to Giverny and stayed for 2 nights and visited Monet’s garden. Then we spent our last night in Dieppe, visited an amazing market on our last morning then took the Ferry back to England to Newhaven, we live in Seaford on the coast next to Newhaven so it made it very easy. We had such an amazing time and your tips about visiting Paris really helped me to plan our stay and our itinerary so thank you so much! I always watch your channel now and look forward to your next adventures in France! Merci beaucoup 👍

France is our favourite country in Europe and we have spent four visits there all of a month or more - and have visited 17 of the 20 named destinations - AMAZING - we'll get to the rest in the future. Oh, and if you go to Bordeaux, you must go a little further inland and visit Saint Emilion - it's amazing..

Antoine and Colleen, I am a huge fan, and look forward to all your content, your enthusiasm is contagious. I enjoyed both your top 10 lists. I’ve been lucky enough to visit France 11 times since 2001 and I’ve struggled with La langue Francaise for the same amount of time. Nice and Paris are my most frequent/favorite places to stay. I had the pleasure of visiting many of my bucket list items this past summer, Lyon, Avignon, Arles, Carcassonne, Mont Saint-Michel, the Loire Valley, Chateau Chenenceau, Amboise, Bayeux, the débarquement museums in Normandie among others (it was a long trip of 17 days covering 3000 Km). Also visited the charming town of St. Lô which I would see again. Since you asked, here are some of the things I’d love to see in France that you didn’t mention - The World Puppet Theater Festival September (every other year) Charleville-Mézières WWI battlefields, The Somme, Verdun, etc. Would like to tour Amiens and the other Cathedrals in that area where those towns in France engaged in an arms race to build the tallest cathedral, sometimes with tragic results. See - Nova:Building the great cathedrals - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D40JhGKVUVM.html. Gorges du Verdon river canyon located in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Menton and the Festival du Citron Eze Those are just a few. The unabridged list is very, very long. Happy New Year

Bonne Année 2023! I finally made it to France after globetrotting since 2014! I'm in Paris enjoying the city's numerous sights! Firstly, I must be a weak American. I'm used to driving everywhere. Secondly, I can only do 1 thing a day not 2 things. By the time you finish queuing & maneuvering through the crowded huge museums, it's time to eat. By the time you eat a great meal, it's time to take a nap. LOL I'm beat down. Thirdly, I am only halfway through Paris stay. Finally, I'm headed to Chamonix later! For the record, nope, not hiking. I did that in the Tatras in Zakopane, Poland & I wanted to fake collapse. So the Rangers would drive me back down. Oh yeah, I took y'all advice and learned some French & it worked for a bit until they spoke English. Then I got confused. 😁 LOL

Great list. Great dreams. I’ve been trying to visit different regions of France each year, and also make return visits to favorite places. I was surprised that your lists did not include Dordogne/Périgord, with the opportunities to visit painted caves - and not all just replicas. I toured southwest France in September (including Bordeaux) and want to return. Beautiful, and so much to see. One visit that blew me away, because I was not expecting it, was le Gouffre de Padirac. Also, when you go to visit Mont St. Michel, you might like to spend a night or two in my favorite little Normand town, Granville, which is on the north end of the Bay of Mont St. Michel, with its incredible tides. It has changed a lot since I first discovered it more than 50 years ago, but I still dream about visiting again. Maybe this year.

I am so,pleased (and proud) that you chose Annecy to be on your bucket list. Although a resident of Canada since I was a boy, Annecy is my birthplace, and I would often return there, including our first wedding anniversary and for our 40th (we celebrate 50 this summer but, alas, at home). I was privileged that my paternal grandparents owned and operated a distinctive lakeside hotel in Sevrier (just a couple of kilometres south), and I would go with my grandfather, a renowned and decorated chef, on his food shopping excursions in Annecy. We have friends from Paris who moved to Annecy to retire, and they say it is the best thing that they’ve ever done. Happy travels into Haute-Savoie!

Your bucket list is very very similar to mine! Paris, Rome, Barcelona and London have been on my bucket list since I was a young child. And they are still there! When I got my first iPad and downloaded Google Earth, the first thing I wanted to see (after identifying my house and my grown children’s house, I started roaming around France. I “flew” over a city with all of these hollow square buildings. I had to stop and zoom in closer to discover that the hollow squares were buildings with four wings, making a closed Cube and a courtyard in the center. This wasn’t EVERY building but it was close (to every building). With more zooming in and then zooming back out, I discovered that it was Lyon which bumped every every city on my list down a notch. I truly want to visit Lyon and stay in one or more of those buildings and wander through the courtyard. I know that some of those buildings are (or were when I discovered the city and Google Earth) and THAT is what put Lyon on the “map” for me. Doing some homework, I was able to find even more reasons to want to visit Lyon and it remains at the top of my list. Paris and the other cities I will review here are all at the top of my list and Rome is several notches lower on my list, pushing London and Barcelona even lower still. It is my intent to visit all of the areas in France while I am there. I have given thought into buying a barge or a narrowboat and spend an extended amount of time in France (pending approval from the French Authorities, of course). Hearing that Lyon is a city of great food does NOT discourage me from wanting to visit! I can’t wait! I would also like to visit Lourdes, as well as LaFollette. For the same reason you want to visit. I would also like to visit Medjugorge, while she is still appearing there. After hearing that you wish to visit Avignon and being familiar with the period of time that the pope and the Vatican were forced to leave and I almost went down the wrong road. Whew! I am a good catholic girl who laughs about some things. Not everyone will be amused by things that make me laugh. I have wondered for quite some time where Mardi Gras in New Orleans came from! I understood that it was from the French who were there for quite some time but I did not ever hear that Paris had a big Todo celebrating Fat Tuesday. For a very long time, I thought France was a very small country and that it was so small that there were not any regional differences. I was a kid, what can I say? I discovered a wonderful town coming down from the Pyrenees that was in the direction of but not really a part of the French Riviera called Ceres. I truly wanted to spend my retirement there but husband had begun to have a fear of traveling too far away from home. I found a flat ( is that the term that the French use?) on the 1st Floor (American 2nd Floor) just around the corner from the biweekly market. 2 doors down, just right around the corner in the city square. I loved the house, it was quite old but looked well taken care of and it was in the exact type of area in a town that I have always thought that I would retire to. Husband was afraid (he was quite ill) and I did not pursue it. We had several vehicles and he could no longer drive. I could have sold one and payed cash for a lovely 2BR Apartment on the city square in a lively French town. Anyway, I have fallen in love with the town but it seems to have been ‘discovered’ and things are significantly more expensive now. Husband passed away several months ago and I regret not buying that apartment, although it was several years ago and I would not have traveled that far and been gone for the amount of time it would have taken when he was so ill. I REALLY tried to convince him to travel with me to Lourdes, for obvious reasons, and if I had to do it again I would have pushed harder to convince him that he would be doing it for me so that he would go. But, he would have scoffed at the idea and I don’t think that is the right frame of mind when you go somewhere to ask for a cure. With that in mind, Medjugorge might have been the best place for any possibility of him facing a miracle. But maybe it was something he needed to learn and even though we were married just shy of 30 years, any lessons that may or may not have been placed before him is not mine to guess, but none of this is relative to the question you asked. It just worked out the way it did and if I had to do it again, I would have made the same choices so I don’t know why I am whining or ‘whinging’ about it. Except it would have been NICE if the opportunity came up NOW. I have drifted quite a ways off topic! Ceret is absolutely on my bucket list. Mont San Michel has been a place that I have wanted to go since I knew of its existence. Regardless of whether or not it has become popular. I would like to spend several weeks there and stay on the island after the tourists moved on to their next adventure but I am not sure that I would serve a useful purpose. I would like to see the Pyrenees Mountains but not to ski or play in the snow. I LOVE the snow and being buried in when you have everything you need but I grew up deep in the San Juan Range of the Rocky Mountains in New Mexico and Colorado and I lived at 9800ft and would climb a hidden mountain and camp at 14,000ft and I don’t want to be so arrogant as to suggest that the Rocky Mountains are better than the Alps because that would be ridiculous. But my career was in Health Care and I was in nursing in the Critical Care Unit of the trauma center that covered all of the 4 corners until the patient was closer to Denver, Albuquerque, Salt Lake City or Phoenix and I had patients who would ski down a black run and come upon a tree where they meant to go, and the moment’s hesitation in which direction he would go to avoid the tree was enough of a delay that he would end up straddling the tree. While that looks funny on a cartoon on the Sunday Comics, there is nothing funny about it when it happens in the real world. So it took every ounce of calm to allow my daughter to ski, no amount of money would have been enough to sand down a couple of boards and wax them until they are as slick and smooth as they can be and then strapping them onto my feet and finding the steepest downhill decline that I could find and slide down the mountain as fast as I could go. Nope. I got into nursing BEFORE the opportunity came up that would require that kind of risky behavior. Nope, not gonna happen, but that doesn’t mean that I would not enjoy the mountain communities and the buildings and the people and the animals and….. also, after watching your video of Normandy, a visit to that region has landed firmly on my list. And because I have not had slept in ~40+ hours, this comment has turned into a ridiculously long novella about everything and nothing! I apologize! But I don’t want to start over. I hope 2023 brings you and those you love a joyeux and successful New Year!

Hello *Rebbeca,* Here is a very long comment which must have discouraged more than one. However, I read it in full. Your testimony about your husband is very moving, rest his soul. Yes, for such a small country compared to the United States (France is smaller than the Texas! Lol) or Australia, France nevertheless offers a wide range of scenery (landscapes and architecture) and very different climates from one region to another. If we had to make an exhaustive list of places to visit in France, it would contain more than twenty places. There are so many beautiful cities, each more steeped in history than the next. Have a pleasant day.

Rebecca, I hope you dont mind my replying. I just want to send my commiserations on the loss of your husband. May he rest in Peace Its sad when long held dreams don't come to fruition but I hope you and he experienced a lot of dreams that DID come true, and your many years together were happy and Blessed. I hope you are able to travel to France on holiday. You never know, many houses and Apartment's are still affordable, even if you use them for family holidays and rent them out for an income in between. It's never too late to dream, or to make that dream come true, at least in part. I'm praying for you, that Jesus will give you Peace as you grieve your loss. God Bless you

@@jacqueline8559 - thank you, so much. I have gone through all the emotions that you tend to during grieving and I am spending too much time on anger. It’s lessening, fortunately. But not gone. I also would like to travel the USA and Canada and had purchased a wheelchair accessible bus to allow both of us to travel together. I intended to build it out but I broke my back a weed or so before and it won’t heal and I broke another one a couple of weeks ago and I am losing confidence with getting it built. I will have to have surgery on both areas and I am hoping that they will heal so that I can do some work on it. I have talked to several builders who try to talk me out of it so I am still looking for someone who can, who will and will not charge me $90,000 because it is fashionable. I would appreciate any prayers for getting that done so I can still travel on a budget and comfortably. Probably too much information but it is where I am at the moment. Thank you so much for your kind words!!!

By the way, there are plenty of possibilities to go on a river cruise all over France. And for the "gourmets", you can have the extra choice of booking a cruise with the emphasis on fine French dining. Heaven and paradise on a ship.

Giverny. About an hour north of Paris, it's the home of Claude Monet. His house and gardens, and water gardens, are restored to their original condition and in October (when we went) it was absolutely beautiful. You could drink the air it was so clean. It was a laid-back village, almost no cars, a restaurant nearby, and the water, gardens and his home were just as they were back in the day. That beautiful afternoon sun was marvelous. We took a tour van there from Paris and it was totally wonderful.

Wow - thank you, you've just made planning my next few trips easier to plan!! I'd add the Roman Theatre in Orange - truly an amazing thing. I'd also include Saint-Remy because I love the fact that you can see where Van Gogh painted some of his most known works from the period he was there. And Valbonne is a lovely walled town with a 13th century abbey. My list would be much longer than 10!!! :)

Hi guys, great video. Next year I am going to Brittany. Looking forward to it. I have been to Chartres cathedral and it’s gorgeous. It has some of oldest stained glass in France. The labyrinth was pretty cool. Lots of nice shops around too. You get off the train and your right there. I loved it. I do stained glass myself so I can appreciate the work involved and the amount of people who died of lead poisoning. I wanted to go to Mont St Michael but the timing is wrong. Thanks for some ideas of what to do. Lyon is on my list too. As always have a good one eh!😁🇨🇦

When you go to Chartres, be sure to go when you can experience Chartres en Lumières. I was there in summer of 2016 and it was one of the most magical nights of my life.

One place that's on my list is the beaches of Normandy. But I'm a big history buff, so I know that won't be everyone's jam. :) Love the list you presented! So many good places to go see. I have visited one spot on the list, actually. Corsica. Really pretty area, but I gotta say, the locals we encountered there were way, way ruder than anyone we'd come across in Paris or elsewhere. Maybe they just don't like tour groups or something? I was browsing in a small shop looking for some snacks for the remainder of he day. I guess the shopkeep realized I and the other 2 shoppers in the store were tourists because out of nowhere they shoo'd us out, closed up, and left. And I was literally in the middle of trying to pay for something too. Was just bizarre.
