Exceptionally interesting city to me, odd not much traffic commotion why is that? I love the bells, I would not tire of them. I wonder did you stay long there? And is it windy most all of the time? How far from Marseilles? Thank you for this video excursion.
It seemed to us the main traffic was outside the city (closer to the port). We stayed there over a weekend and it was generally lovely, not so windy, but it can creep up on you suddenly 😂 Marseille is in the south. This is most north of France. Hence the wind ☺️☺️☺️
In 2025, you should go and take part in the Dunkirk Carnival (the peak of the events is at the end of February/beginning of March). It's something ex-tra-or-di-nary. The importance of the event, its very particular social and historical codes, the parades of the Giants, the dances (and the heavy drinking) are truly astonishing, and sometimes destabilizing. It's a sincerely unusual experience, which doesn't necessarily please everyone because it's so "over the top", an experience for which you have to be prepared. But it's worth seeing to understand the spirit of the people of the North.
@@AntonandSinan I understand Sinan perfectly. To tell you the truth, I've only been to the Dunkirk carnival once, because I absolutely had to see this really special event for myself. But I don't like big crowds, they scare me a bit, and on the most intense days, the incredible masses of people, the noise, the shouting, sometimes the excessive drinking, everything can quickly become oppressive. Oh, and, to get in, you have to wear an extravagant costume ! But despite all that, it really is an amazing experience.
